While she might have done it a few times, there was a roaming Tom that sprayed everyone's back porches and I suspected him to be the problem. The neighbor, however, could not be convinced it was anyone but Rosa the kitty cat. Mean words and mean actions followed (his, not mine). In the end, I couldn't handle the hatred being issued at me and gave the cat to a family in a different neighborhood. <br />She was happier in a home with smokers, so perhaps she was nicotine deprived? <br /><br />The tree is a very odd choice for posting.

Honestly, I think it's pretty shitty (pun not intended, but go ahead and chuckle if you like) when people don't pick up after their dogs. Even 9 times out of 10 is not good enough. And I don't understand why if they don't have bags, they let the dog crap on the sidewalk and not in the grass, away from foot traffic.Jen on the Edgehttp://www.jenontheedge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-85919918575129796612012-11-07T23:18:08.657-06:002012-11-07T23:18:08.657-06:00This is too much!

Jeez. I walk every day in a neighborhood where very few people scoop their poop. I don't have a dog but occasionally walk my neighbor's awesome pooch. The last time I was out with the dog, a home owner thanked me (somewhat incredulously) for picking up the dog's poop. I thought that was a nice touch so I've started thanking people who I see on my walk who have bags and are picking up too.Claudia from Idiot's Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541460586713196175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-6686839225606193722012-11-07T10:12:47.155-06:002012-11-07T10:12:47.155-06:00I hate it when people don't pick up after thei...I hate it when people don't pick up after their dogs but also, sometimes you forget a bag. My rule is always that, if I run out of bags on a walk then I owe the universe an extra pick up not of my household's doing next time I go out. Accidents happen. I do always worry about who might see me on one of those accidental days.<br /><br />I foresee a flaming bag of dog poop on the sign master's porch any day now. S/he told them to pick it up but s/he didn't specify where to put it!Kizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957878512519527975noreply@blogger.com
