Every spring brings a wonderful old pile of dog crap. Yes, we all hate picking up dog poop in the winter and then once the snow melts it's great fun. So, this week it's been my mission to get all of our dog poop/lawn raked. I can not believe how much poop is in our yard. I know gross, what a thing to type about. But it's the truth.
My husband and I have 2 chocolate labs, so I'm not talking about little piles of poop here, I'm talking like Twin Tower high! So, anyways, I get a little cranky when I have to pick up my own dogs poop, but what is worse is having to pick up the neighbors dogs poop. We live in a neighbor hood that everyone seems to own a dog. It's almost annoying how many animals we are surrounded by. We have 3 behind us, two directly next to us on the north side, and 1 on the south side, and the MOST annoying one across the street.
I don't know if people think that we aren't going to notice if there is a little extra poop in our yard or what. Take our neighbor lad, she always walks her cocker spaniel up and down the block. Funny thing is she holds a "pooper scooper" in her hand, and guess what, she is never carrying any poop!!! So today when I was out, I noticed all of these little piles of poop, and I KNOW, that my dogs do not poop that small. I seriously want to start walking our dogs across the street past their front lawn and start teaching them to take steamers on their lawn. I don't know if she thinks we won't notice it or what! But come on!!!
So, I am sick and tired of raking up poop, but to have to scoop up the neighbors, AGH. Let me tell you it's not a fun job! Can't wait until our kids get a little older, because they will be so happy when mom tells them to get out and rake the poop! What fun spring cleaning is! That's all the poop I have right now! See ya later gators!

This was a very funny blog post, I don't mean that in a irritating way. My family and I only have a cat, so we don't have to worry about that kind of thing. Sorry that your spring cleaning involves cleaning up fecial matter. You are blessed to have a dog though, I wish I had one!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain! Spring cleaning sucks, especially the poop! Do you know that their is a company called poop patrol that comes and cleans it up for you? I saw it on a billboard between Appleton and Oshkosh, but I have never called it. Talk about Dirty Jobs! How would you like to do that for a living? Yuck!
ReplyDeleteYes, some people’s lack of respect, often enough, crosses the lines of comprehension… and our yards lines, for that matter. Hope a cloud of “get a clue” passes through your neighborhood and pores over those who need it.
