I live in a small neighborhood of about 30 homes and the one thing I cannot stand is a grumpy, unsociable neighbor. Therefore, I hate to be THAT neighbor. I can let it slide when it happens one time. The second time?? No, I don't think so!

Sounds like you know which house is his and wanting to be a good neighbor just buy him a box of large sandwich bags and attach a note "please be considerate of others when walking your dogs, I was considerate the first time you placed the feces in my yard, but my lawnmowers pungent smell detector reminded me to let you know it was unappreciated"
I had some young girls walking their dog on my street let it pee on my front yard, I was in the house and saw them through the window. I said "Young ladies, please get the garden hose and water down that area so it does not kill my lawn". They looked at me like I was crazy. I said again to do it, or else I'd follow them home at a distance, and have their father come over and do it for them. They did.
The reason people will do it, is because 99% of people do not want to be confrontational when somebody is violating their property. I joke I have OPD- Obnoxious Person's Disorder. I can go from nice to nasty in about 1 second if it's warranted. It must be heriditary, since my wife swears my parents had it too .
I had that problem once. I scooped it up threw it on the guys car hood and windshield, when he asked me what the h--- was wrong with me, I told him if I wanted dog poo in my yard I would own a dog. Then I asked him why he was ****** about it on his car, he said it was a nice car and it was not right. I told him my yard is nice and it is not right. Since then no more dog poo in my yard.
Were you the kind of kid that got sand kicked in your face at the beach? When you eat at a restaurant and your food comes cold, do you just take it and never say anything?
If you are being wronged (poop in the yard is wrong, on so many levels), then SAY SOMETHING!
A guy walked his dog by and did that in my yard "ONE" time. I came running out and told him to take it with him. He said he didn't have any bags, so I said - wait here, I'll be right back. I brought him a plastic shopping bag and handed it to him.
Then I put a sign in the yard with a red circle and a slash mark through it...over a dog doing a squat. Everyone got a kick out of that. No more dog piles!

I didn't start this thread so that you could judge my character! You have NO idea!
