As I sat at my table yesterday morning, drinking tea and enjoying the sunshine, a man and his dog walked by. The dog was cute and frisky, and he cutely frisked right onto my front lawn and befouled my grass with a big brown load.The man quickly looked up at our windows and saw me glowering. He reached unconvincingly into his pockets, as if looking for his doggie bags, then shrugged and kept walking.
I leaped up to the window and sharply rapped my knuckles against the glass until the man glanced up. I scowled and mouthed, "PICK IT UP!" while jabbing my finger towards the offending lump.
He just looked away and kept walking.
I can't believe the nerve of some dog owners! I don't own a dog... why do I have to keep scooping poop off my grass? I think I'll bag it up and save it until the next time I see him walk by, so that I can hurl it at his head while screaming, dementedly, "PICK IT UP, VILE BEFOULER!!!"
Now, this is my kind of dog.
10 Fellow Bletherers:
That is horrible, hopefully he will walk on the other side of the street.
What a load of crap!
Wow! That is terribly rude and terribly nasty! He could've atleast...although embarassingly, asked your for a bag so he could pick up his dog's "belongings".
I can't believe that he knew that you saw him and he kept on going! That's nervy!
I would've gone out there with a shovel and flung it at him and told him that his dog had dropped something! Haha!
Amy - it was just a matter of time before somebody left that comment. I'm glad it was you.
Tanya - I know! I nearly DID run outside, but by the time I found my shoes, grabbed a shovel and got to the front yard, he would have been halfway down the street. Then the neighbours would all have loved to watch me run down the street, carrying a load of poo and shouting verbal abuse. I decided to just let it lie... literally...
EWWW!!!! That is so gross! I figure if you are going to have a dog, then you better be carrying a bag...EVERYWHERE!!! So disgusting!!
You should take a picture of him & his dog, blow it up poster-size and stake it on your lawn with the caption 'Lazy Crapper'
You are my kind of poster. That is EXACTLY how I would have handled it. But I love that you actually wrote about it. LOL!
You know, I totally sympathize with your sentiments. I cannot stand uncleaned droppings.
I hate it as much as smokers who toss their butts wherever they happen to be. I could go on for hours on these two topics.
You're such a classy lady Gwen, I love you.
I would have found out where he lived(ie...followed him)...ran home, and grabbed the pile of crap and dumped it on his lawn with the note, "you left something behind".
Grrrr....
BTW...i sent you an email...
oh my that is hilarious. thx for that read. let's really think about this dog business and what it all entails... you write well, enough for me to laugh out loud here at my computer. thx
