No Ray you're not being unreasonable, your neighbour is, it's her dogs mess, therefore she should pick it up and dispose of it correctly.Goodmorning all, looks like I have a problem with our new neighbor. She is a single middle aged woman with no children. She has just retired from the military.
The problem is every morning she takes her dog out on a leash. They come over along my fence in the backyard. Then the dog does his business right next to the fence. She doesn't pick it up which is her choice. But it is about even with my screen porch and when the wind blows from the west, I get to smell it. She has a triple lot with plenty of places for the dog to go without affecting any of the neighbors. Then the guy that cuts the lawn. Cut in the direction to sling it in my yard. Rose or I pick up Opo's poo every day. I am not saying she needs to pick up everyday. But it would be nice for her to use a different area. When I am picking cactus, I get to smell and look at it.
Am I being unreasonable?

No, not at all, I think I remember an image of the cactus plants you sent, is it a thin wire fence?Goodmorning all, looks like I have a problem with our new neighbor. She is a single middle aged woman with no children. She has just retired from the military.

Even though it's on her side, it touches the shared fence and it's almost on your property, she can have the decency to pick it up. Is her house close to the fence?
Okuma makes good fishing equipment.
With a surf rod you need a long rod like a 12 footer. Since you are standing on the beach, you need the longer rod to cast farther out into the water. Out in the water where the waves start cresting and breaking over is the surf area. Like where a surfer catches a wave and rides it. That make like a ditch in the sand where the fish hang out. If you notice below where you attach the reel. The bottom extends farther down then a normal rod. This gives you more leverage to cast farther.
Where do you live? Since they are called carp rods. Carp fishing is very popular in Europe. You would put a spin casting reel not a level wind reel on those rods.
This is the type of reel for the rods you have.
Here is the other type reel also used in surf fishing.
It requires a different style rod but in reality both would work for you.
No, she has a triple lot so her house is not near that area.
I guess I will have a talk with her. Hopefully she will understand.

No you are not.
Now, being a good neighbor, and since she is new, would entail going over and kindly explaining the situ and requesting a change in the program, her learning of the results of her actions and thus changing the procedure. . . Yay, it's a win/win....that is the best case scenario.
BUT if she is a "fussbudget" (I'm trying to be nice) and becomes obstinate, now she knows that if anything detrimental to her current plan changes, then it is you who started the change....
Or do you do the stealthy thing, pick up the poop and toss it in her yard. . . !?
Oh, did I say that....
It's always a tricky situ....
Put a sign on the fence at that location "Please pick up your dog poo" Or go knock on her door and nicely tell her exactly what you've told us.
Surf caster are for ocean fishing from the shore. Most range in the 9-13 foot length
I'm so happy for you
is the other new arrival the darling puppy or did I miss something? 
I would say something. I've had to and it has always ended peacefully so far. I ask them to stop it and hand them grocery sacks to clean it up if necessary
Sometimes I give an explanation such as my developmentally disabled brother will step in it 
It wouldn't be fun to run a wheelchair through it either.
A bit of snow here today. Rain, sleet, snow & cold.
Our daffs are not having fun.

Well my encounter with my neighbor wasn't productive. I explained my concerns and got a negative response...... this is my property, infringing on my freedoms and so on. Figuring nothing good was going to come of the requests. I just turned away and said have a good day.
If it were a male, I probably would have had a heated discussion. Which would have turned out bad.
Well I will go by theory, when I don't what to do. Do nothing!

So, this lady’s dog is crapping on her own very large property but along the fence line that adjoins your property? Is said feces in her yard or does the poo land in your area too? I’m glad that both of our neighbors are pretty quiet & reserved. They always say that fences make good neighbors, but in this case, not so much.
That's sad. But maybe she'll have second thoughts. It's still good that you said something. I feel better if I peacefully say something even if I don't get the needed results. It's better than sitting around being upset by it. When karma pays her back just maybe she'll get it.Well my encounter with my neighbor wasn't productive.

It is on her property. It is that she has such a big yard. That she could find a place that when I am over by the cactus. I have to see it and look at it and of course smell it. I didn't think I was being unreasonable. She also brought up Opo, and of course my response was Rose or I pick up the poo every day. Plus Opo rarely poops along that fence. With the afternoon showers,that should help out,
I too believe in Karma, But there's one prob w/karma . . . Rarely do you ever get to see the outcomeThat's sad. But maybe she'll have second thoughts. It's still good that you said something.

.That being said, I didn't see the results of Karma, but I had heard about it.
One of my old co-workers, paired up with the Department slug, had put a target on my back intending on making my life miserable @ work. The Treatment plant had gone through a Major electrical upgrade, Replacing these Large 12kv MCC (Motor Control Center). Inside they had copper buss bars .625" x 2.25" by about 6 feet long. . . a lot of copper. I had found out after leaving, that, that co-worker was coming in on the weekends grabbing some of the copper, and taking it across the street to the scrap yard and scraping it out. Now this would not be much of an issue if he turned in the redemption to the district . . . .
Oh, but No'ooooo, he pocketed the ill gotten gains and got nabbed for it.
He should have been fired and turned over to the Sheriff's Dept. But his wife worked @ The District office for approx 20+ years, so she was very well connected in the district. The union negotiated his dismissal from the district. So, he lost a SWEET JOB, Great pay, lost the $ in the pension he would have had once he gained tenure (5yrs). and Health benefits...
Can you say . . . Ah'hhhhh So'oooo sad!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer A**hole KARMA!
Oh the afternoon showers
in Florida half a year.
Is she down hill hope and pray hope and pray?...
Tonight is the time change again. I already set my little WiFi outback temp thingy for tomorrow's time. My atomic clock will automatically set along with my cell. One year I reset all the clocks and Joe changed them back so I don't know how to keep him on time for church
