WAY^3 OT: what would you do?

[nightmare16v1988 at hotmail.com (Krazy Horse)]

This is a subject that has been debated since the Big Bang theory was 
conjured.

First off, I would never let my dog shat on a lawn I don't own, personal 
opinion.

My first job was landscaping my local lawns and there were always shit-bombs 
with the lawn mower. Local lawn dog shitting is just a dog and his best 
friend, so keep in mind; they might have the combined mentality of Forrest 
Gump. You have seen him pick up all the remains on your yard, so that being 
said, I would say nothing (that's just me). Not to say, however, that he 
lets it be when he doesn't see you.

An answer could be to water the shit that isn't picked up, and have great 
firm, green grass, but I've never watered away an entire log. I wouldn't 
want my son asking, "What's this Daddy?"

I would have to say in one word, "Putthatbackonthegroundrightnow."

'Choose your battle' is my Final Thought. If you say something to the owner, 
you will probably prevent an even when you are present, however, a present 
is likely left when you are not around. Nimby (Not In My Back Yard)  is how 
I feel about a dog shitting on my property.

Damn those double swinging doors.
