One of my favorite stories about my dad: When I was in high school, there was a woman in the neighborhood who took her dog around the neighborhood specifically so the dog could crap in the yards of other people. It was an indoor dog, and she carried it from the front door to the street and back so it couldn't do its business in her yard. Apparently our house was just about the distance the dog could endure after being cooped up in the house, because it was regularly our yard the hound chose. My dad talked to her politely about it at least twice that I remember, and she was a complete jerk about it. Her route took her past our house on her way out, and her way back. One night dad saw her just as the dog finished up and they headed down the road on the way out. So he got a paper bag and put the poop in it and waited for her. When she and the dog returned, he silently handed her the bag, turned around and went in the house. She never "curbed" her dog in our yard again. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
