Dog poo in my front garden! What the f#*&!

Just that really.

Removed the second mound of dog poo from my front garden this week. I don't have a dog. I can barely think straight due to the red must that has enveloped my head.

What the fucking fuck! Angry

Any idea who the culprit might be??

Are you sure it's not cat shit? That would be more plausible, unless someone is letting their dog crap in your garden!

I'm similar. I know who it is who lets their dogs out to roam the street rather than bother walking them, but unless I catch the dog in the middle of it then I don't feel I can say anything.

Could it be a fox

Fox poo stinks looks like dog poo and I think they poo to mark their territory

We get dog shit in our garden too - seriously pisses me off. Its definitely dog shit - and its because of all these feckless owners with their dogs off leash, letting them run up and down peoples driveways and shit where they like, and on one horrific occasion attack my cat Angry

And fox poo doesn't look like dog poo...

Pompom, letting a dog out to roam means it isn't under control and is an offence under the dangerous dogs act.

I'd call 101 and ask for advice.

Pretty certain it's dog poo...only a cat the size of a small lion could do something this size!

I have no idea who is the culprit as we live on a road that is often used as a through fare for people walking dogs.

I am beyond livid!

I know it's the owners fault and not the dog. Really hate dog owners right now.

We literally have to play "dodge the dog shit" on our way to school. Recently had an absolutely enormous dog poo on the pavement right outside our front door. I hate it. HATE it. Feel so impotent about it as there are loads of dogs round here. It just makes me dislike all dog owners! (disclaimer: I know lots are fab about clearing up poo- but these people give them all a bad name!)

Oh 'ere we go. Yaaaaaawn.

why 'yaaaawn'?

Someone once let their dog (and yes, I can tell the difference between dog, cat and fox poo) shit on our front path - I went over it and into the house with the buggy twice before I realised where it had come from. Now, I close our front gate (though the postbod doesn't always) but honestly, how can that happen, you've got to have your eye off your dog for quite a while for it to vanish up the path and do a crap (as well as having it off the lead in the first place).

Sorry Capricorn. Perhaps I should put dog shit in your garden then you can tell us how 'yawn' worthy you find it.

I hate dog shit. I don't let my kids shit in the street, and you bet if I did, it'd get picked up!

We have an open fronted garden (not allowed boundary wall/fence/hedge on our road). Two car front to boot parked length driveway (to give you an idea of size) and an equivalent size of grass. I have actually had to remove poo from outside my front door. WTF? How does a dog get that far into a garden with the owner not noticing?? YANBU. Gives me the rage too.

Because you said you 'really hate dog owners right now' which betrayed your agenda for starting this anti-dog thread that's been done a million times. Its boring so I yawned.

By the way it was probably a fox trying to get into a bin.

Fox shit does look like dog shit, expect its got fibrous bits in it that look like twigs or clumps of hair/fur
Is it appearing during the day or night?

RiverTam · 03/02/2015 17:05

well, if you find it so boring, why click and post, capricorn?

I don't hate dogs, or responsible dog owners, but when I found that I'd wheeled through dog shit (which looks and smells nothing like fox shit) that was on my own front path, yes, I hated the dog owners who allow their dogs to do this.

theforceawakens · 03/02/2015 17:05

Capricorn, there was no agenda.

And no, it's not fox shit. Our bin is in the back garden.

So just to recap. A dog owner, possibly two, have, in the space of seven days, allowed their dogs to poo in MY garden. You bet I hate the fuckers right now.

Cal 101 because there's dog poo on your front lawn?

Perfectly reasonable, of course.
Hmm

So it doesn't look like dog shit then...

Because you said you 'really hate dog owners right now' which betrayed your agenda for starting this anti-dog thread that's been done a million times.

Careful, your chip is showing... In no way could this be described as an anti-dog thread. It's an anti-dog-owners-who-let-their-dogs-shit-anywhere-and-dont-pick-up thread...

I'm a dog owner and I'd fucking detest this! I detest the cat crap which is everywhere even more though.

Cat poo gets my goat too but can't really blame the owners as they are generally not present whilst the shitting takes place.

I have goldfish. Might try to harvest some fish poo to dump on someone else's property. Wink

I am waging a war against the same thing, some fucker let's their dog shit outside my house almost every night, even on my path!!
The council have been and cleaned up and even put letters through all our doors to tell us they've had an increase in complaints and are beibg more vigilant that they have fined people and will pursue you through the courts etc etc so can you all be on the look out....and the fucker came again that night!
I'm a dog owner and gives me rage they'll know about it if I catch them!
