I don't know. That would have to be some longer term members that would know how to connect to her partner or family. The last time I saw anything they had been moved to a good home.🤗
It seemed that @Tidgy's Dad knew what happened with her pets. If I remember correctly.

That's a great idea... maybe a fake gun.😜 I have people walking their dogs around and letting them do their business in other people's yard. The problem is Joe won't notice if he steps in it.😁
I am still trying to figure out what to do with my new neighbor. She is still walking her dog on a leash and the dog is pooping right next to my fence. She has so many areas to use. She has a triple lot and the whole back lot line. Butts up to undeveloped property. It won't be a good idea for me to speak to her again. With the negativity I received the first time. I wont be as nice this time. That will not accomplish anything. 😖

I've spoken with one of them twice about it. The first time I wasn't nice I just said please don't let your dog come in my yard. The second time I explained why and it actually kinda worked. I'm allowed to get a puppy fix now with his dogs. I think he's young and wasn't thinking clearly. And still isn't totally. His dogs can pick up diseases walking around this neighborhood just as easily as giving them. I've seen animals with flesh eating strep. I haven't told him that yet. I think your neighbor is just being rude and stupid. I think anyone that walks their dog around everyone else's property without something to clean it up is either not thinking or downright lazy.🤔

I went to Kroger's today as usual cause it's my regular grocery shopping day. And all those leg of lambs they didn't sell were marked down to $3 a lb. Can you believe I got an 11 pounder for $32? It was delicious 😋

My only suggestion Ray is to put a new fence (that you cannot see through) UP AGAINST the one that’s already there.
That way no one’s property is “over the line” or nothing she can say to you about it!
It doesn’t have to be 12’ tall..
Just a 6’ white pvc- like fence .
No more see, no more smell, and it also acts like a double layer from this 🤬 to protect Opo when he is out there..
If something were to happen to him …
THE GLOVES ARE OFF!!
and I’ll be down there !!!…..
AND IM BRINGING MAGGIE!!!! 😳😧

Here in NJ you get a fine for not cleaning up after your dogs… poop..
That’s all I can say GOOD about NJ

When I was driving truck my company had a rule that you could not stay in NJ after 8 pm...and NJ was the only state that bad guys jumped on my truck and 2 tried to open my trailer...I had a padlock on it, I just shifted gears and took off...well, I was fully loaded so I didn't exactly take off...but I just started off and opened my door and knocked the guy off the steps, and he shot my trailer!!! Never had to go NE again...give me a redneck any time...:)

Hey Ray. Maybe you should get a few of these signs and place them along that border area, preferably when the neighbor isnt around. This way she won’t really know that you didnt spray, but only put the signs around.

The only problem is that she could probably then report you for spraying pesticide in your yard when you have an animal of your own wandering around there - Cruelty to Opo !

How about on your own large property? I can see some pooper scooper officer fining someone on public spaces, but i wonder if they care too much what owners do doo on their own back yard? I’m guessing probably yes, but only if reported by a neighbor to the Poop Patrol.

Poop Patrol you laugh…or scoff?

Nope, right here. 😫

If the dog is poopiing on its own property there's not much you can do. I say you just have to live with it, unless you want to clean it up yourself.

but there is a fence there. So now @Ray--Opo we all need to see whst type of fence. If it’s the chain link fence you often show, it would seem the fecal matter is on her mstter, but just a pain to you. ?

Neighbors….they always say fences make good neighbors.

Here is what I envision to help remedy your problem.

The first time I approached her about a month ago. Her attitude was on the negative side. Basically said it is her property and I don't have much to say about it.
Which is true, but a little curiosity would be nice.
