First came this crafty sign -
That one apparently didn't get the point across so the homeowners added this one
That still wasn't enough, so they added this caution tape.
Ok ok, I get it, I never let Day-Z go on your yard before, so I won't start now...or will I? That grass right in front of the caution tape sure does look nice.

I'm not sure about this one, but I'd say that the millions of signs and the yellow tape are a lot uglier than 1 or 2 doggie spots. I'm just going out on a limb here though.
I have some bizarre neighbors also. They keep putting their garbage (and they take out their garbage everyday) in our dumpster for the apartments. They live in the house across the street with free city pick up. Apparently they do not like to have the garbage smell up their garage. So I have asked them nicely at least 6 times. So now if they are leaving, the same time I am, they hide in their trees till I am down the street and then they slither across to dump it - I have caught them 2 times doing this. So I stopped and asked them not to put their garbage in a private dumpster (as do almost all the dog walkers, because they don't want to carry their dog's poop home) and she said "Well don't let your dog poop in my yard!" To which I replied..........."I don't have a dog" - you crazy bitch (last part in my head) This ended the conversation....so I guess I can understand the craziest from both sides.
Oooooooo... it's okay for neighborhood dogs to poop in a neighbor's yard, but NOT okay for kids to play with toy guns in their yard...
Hmmmmmmmm...
Maybe the kids or the owner should by a pellet gun and everytime a neighborhood dog or their owner steps on their yard univited the property owner gets to shoot them with the pellet gun.
One wonders how you'd re-act if every neighborhood dog did their business in YOUR yard. Me thinks you wouldn't be happy either. You'd probably call the cops.
(you probably won't print this because it violates your delicate sensibilities and disagrees with your right to have your neighborhood do as YOU please but not having the respect to act in kind)
Christine - The first sign was cute, but the tape is a bit much. I don't know who in the neighborhood doesn't clean up after their dog, but they sure are upsetting this homeowner.
Michaelann - That is just bizarre. They must really hate their own trash to go through all that trouble.
Anon/Guillermo/Hollywood Hack - I have no problem with you disagreeing with me, it's your tone I don't like. For the record I do expect my neighbors to do their part in maintaining their property and I also expect dog walkers to clean up after their own dogs - I do.
Also, I didn't tell the whole story about the air guns and why they upset my so much but it involves Day-Z and her abuse by a previous owner.
LOL! Reminds me of dh's old neighbors. They put signs up in their yard similar to those in your neighbor's yard. His neighbor also called animal control because a bunch of ducks from the subdivision's lake waddles into her yard. She was a nasty and crazy.
These aren't the same people who let their kids play with guns in the front yard, is it?
All this talk of air guns and dogs pooping where they shouldn't definitley brings to mind the idead that the neighbors who want a poop-free yard should employ the air gun kids to patrol the yard. Don't worry Day-Z - I don't want the kids shooting at the dogs, just the owners who let them poop there, because a dog doesn't know where they should or shouldn't poop. They just go where they want to. It's the owners that are responsible for cleaning up after them and making sure they don't mess up other peoples' yards!
Crazy folks - both your neighbors and your stalker.
puddle jumper - animal control for some ducks? That's Crrrazzzzy! and now it's not the same people with the air guns.
Amy - now that's a great way to bring the neighborhood together
MK99 - all I have say about that is your not as anonymous as you think on the internet
My tone? That's interesting. Does tone equate as the same as your judgemental attitudes? I bet you think you're the only one who can pass judgement on other's viewpoints, attitudes, and behavior, right?
Maybe you should change your journal to, "The World as it SHOULD Be - by Fightin' Mad Mary."
How's that for tone?
As to the "anonymous" thing, I tried to find a blog name I liked, but couldn't. Thus the "anonymous" thing...Oh, yeah. My real name really isn't Guillermo, I picked it like I do most things: to keep distance between me and the phony, shallow, and obnoxious of this world. It seems to have worked.
I now read your blog occasionally for the chuckle it brings me...it amuses me to see how apparently narrow-minded you seem to be. How do you live in such a dis-orderly world?
So true, so true.
Why shouldn't dog owners pick up their dog's poop? I always clean up after my dog because it's lazy and inconsiderate not to do so. Just down my street there was a place where you could get plastic bags for dog poop, and littered all around the dispenser were piles of dog poop and WORSE THAN THAT -- dog poop in plastic bags tossed on the ground. So the poop can't even decompose naturally until the plastic takes its 1000 years to break down...
If you can't pick up after your dog, you should be allowed to own one. IMO.
