As you may know from my other recent posts we are looking to buy a new home. We will be moving and putting our current house up for sale as soon as we can get a few things done to this one. It will need new flooring, painting inside and out and a few odds and ends.
I'm just hoping that whoever we sell to, will be a worse neighbor than what we have on one side of us. I can't take this lady much longer. She has an indoor dog that is as big as a moose. She lets him out to go potty and where does he go? My front yard. She doesn't call him back or anything--just stands there and watches. This morning I happened to walk out to go to work at the time her dog was squatting in my yard to go poopy. I told him to GET OUT OF MY YARD...GET! She then calls him very meekly. She didn't apologize or anything. She is so rude. Tomorrow will be the same thing all over again. Uggg. I need to start hanging out and waiting for this dog every morning. I love animals but I would never show this kind of disrespect to a neighbor. Talking to her will do no good. If it was one of her kids letting the dog do this, it may help but she is a grown woman.
Any suggestions? I'm putting out vibes for a bad neighbor to move in her. LOL! I always say "what goes around, comes around".

Have you thought about calling the law. A friend had to go to court because his dog went poopy in his neighbors yard. This in CA. I do not know what LA would do.
I hope you can sell your house fast. I hate it when people let their dogs poop in my yard. I have a dog and he goes in my yard. He dones not go out front unless he gets out and Ihave figured out how he gets out and have snaped that in the budd.

If you could manage to do it without grossing out, I'd get something to shovel up her dog's poo, and toss it in the middle of her yard. Nothing wrong with that, and she might catch on and quit letting her dog do that. Technically, it should be on her lawn, not yours. And doesn't your city have a leash law? She could get in trouble for that too.

Yes we do. I've been nice long enough. I'm tired of it. I think the kids would love shoveling up the dog poop and I'd be glad to give them a few bucks for cleaning up my yard. They would probably get a laugh at watching her walk out into the dog poop too. lol

Personally I would be doing what others have suggested, shovel it up and then put it in her yard - or at the front door for real impact lol. Sure it might cause a bit of a war between the two of you but you're moving anyway so you don't really need to keep on good terms.

Does this mean you have decided on the old house, or that you have just decided that you HAVE to move out of where you are? Are there not city ordinances against allowing your dog to do what she is allowing? You sure do not want that in your front yard every morning. Just think how awful it would be if she had him outside, penned up next to your yard--Yuk! Would it help to sprinkle some hot sauce around where he goes, so he will smell it and be repelled? It is supposed to work for cats. I hope you get a new owner who can at least hold their own against your bad neighbor. It would not be good to sell the house and have the purchaser cursing you for not telling them.

No she won't clean it up. That is why she lets her dog come into my yard. There is a leash law in our parish. Of course I'd never be able to have Animal Control here at the time her dog was here. For you to say that I'm wishing bad on myself if a lot of hogwash.

I used to have this problem at the old house, our neighbor had 2 pitbulls and would throw that over the fense, the poop I mean. Not just that but all kinds of weird trash like soda bottles and bags. One day we had enough and took a shovel and threw all the litter back into their yard, poop included and as if it wasn't all enough they had thrown a pair of used panties into our yard so we got a big stick and flung them over onto the side of their roof. We never had problems with them again.

Yeah I know what you mean about that. I have similar thoughts when driving. Like if a guy is really driving wild and close to me, I say "go hit someone else who is also a bad driver". You want to punish your neighbors in the same way - by giving them another bad neighbor. Then you can drive by with binoculars and laugh at their misfortune :)
I hope whereever you move to has better neighbors - or neighbors with no pets!!

Girl I'll tell you what to do! lol I had a neighbor who walked her dog every day and then let it do it's business in my front yard! Mind you, I had cocker spaniels and they never left piles that big. So one day I got so tired of it because I couldn't catch the action so I got a shovel and shoveled the doo doo and put it in the middle of the road!! There was NO WAY the woman could see it! NO WAY!! And you know, I never got another pile in my front yard again!! LOL Sooo maybe you should do the same thing except put it on the woman's front porch!! LOL She'll get the message then!

Hi. kareng. That is nasty of her to let her dog poop in your yard!
Why can't she let her dog poop in their yard instead? Have you ever thought about putting a wire fence up? That should keep this dog from coming into your yard and leaving its mess on your grass. That is so disgusting of this neighbor to just sit and let this happen without even stopping it!
