“Break dog waste into small, manageable pieces and mail them to people you don’t like.” This random quote of mine appeared on the site yesterday. It’s appropriate because I’ve been having trouble with the neighbor’s dog. Lately, they’ve developed the habit of letting the beast run loose around the neighborhood, making “deposits” along the way.

I usually try to be a good neighbor and look the other way when they piss me off. We have to live next to each other and I try to do whatever it takes to avoid conflicts.

But as I walked out to the mailbox the other day, I stepped in some of the dog poop. Now it’s time to confront these disrespectful morons that let their dog run in the street and poop all over their neighbor’s property.

How should I deal with them? Leave a note in their mailbox? Talk to him in person? It’s too bad they are putting me in this position. I only hope I can be nice when I ask them to behave nicely toward their perfect-neverbotheranyone neighbors.
