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,
Can you drop some sort of animal repellent over the fence -I know you can get cat repellent, so probably one for dogs too - or if it is a chain-link fence, maybe cover that area on your side with something- tarpaulin or old carpet , but preferably painted in a horrible colour on her side, so it would spoil the look of her garden ?

I do have plastic strips weaved thru the fence. 4 or 5 rows up. The purpose for that was to block Opo from looking over there. That was the only side Opo was insistent on trying to get through the fence. I need to put another row because Opo is getting bigger. I did notice they have the same idea in full size to cover your fence. You don't weave it through the fence but attach somehow. Time to do some Google search.

I like the repellent idea also.

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! 😖
Do you live in an HOA? I would feel that an HOA would have to have by-laws about animal excrement and its required cleanup

Um, a word of advice....I would be VERY careful about anybody bringing in an HOA into a discussion on a subject like this.

They seem to have a lot of authority, but NOT a lot of common sense, or understanding of situ's

My exact thoughts. The lack of common sense ✅

The problem is usually the laws are for picking up after your dog out on the street, sidewalk, “common” areas, not usually your own back yard. 🤷‍♂️

No HOA, I don't think I could live in a neighborhood where they tell me what color I can only paint my front door. Let alone the color of my house. If I lived in a HOA , they probably wouldn't let me have a sulcata.

Only for email purposes I think - it took me 4 days to get hold of customer support partly because I was looking for an AOL helpline which doesn't exist anymore - it's owned by TalkTalk now.
Hey Lyn, we have commercials on TV about a skin care moisturizer called No.7.
They claim it is the UK's best kept secret. Claims it's 10 times better than the expensive moisturizers.
Rose wanted me to ask if you have heard of it?

I mentioned HOA precisely because of how the small brained !diots think and act. They are people who were bullied all their life that now have power so they can bully other people. I enjoy owning my home and answering to no committee when I want to change my door color which is Caribbean Sky (it has an awesome purple tint to it)

Yup, our HOA has rules on the house architecture, gate colour (white), and the house colour must either be a yellow or grey

Have a good day all!
Took an image of Zvezda todayView attachment 341790
I love her cute little face. It reminded of Marry K @maggie3fan
(Do note it does look like she can see through, but it's the image angle that does that)
Any way, have a good day!
She does have a great face! She looks kinda ...."so why are you pestering me?" lol

I'm so happy for you 🤗 is the other new arrival the darling puppy or did I miss something? 🙃😊
Thanks Cathie - the other new arrival was baby Cambrie she was born in Las Vegas in January. My sister & family are going to LV in April and then Sam and Amy will be coming over in the summer so the rest of us will get to meet her then.

What about your rights to enjoy your yard without the stench of dog excrement! What a selfish woman! :mad: Maybe start a pile of Opo's waste on your side and see how she likes it!

Maybe hose it away from the fence?

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 😁
Ours don't go forward until the last weekend in March........longer days for my nasty neighbours to get up to mischief :(
