Dog using grass verge?

[namechanger0002]

Sorry for the terrible title. Obviously name changed.

I'd just mown and strimmed the grass verges in front of my house and was in process of sweeping. I stopped sweeping temporarily as people approached on the path so they could get past. One woman and her dog left the path and started walking directly over one of the verges. She then let the dog stop and use the grass as a loo, it was crouched and she waited, she had a waste bag ready in her hand, but didn't need to use that.

I didn't say anything but I thought it was inappropriate and rude. I'd clearly just mowed it and now there will be a patch where the dog used it. I know I don't own the verge but I maintain it (the local authority only does them once every few months and not well). I'm not a dog owner and wondered if this was normal and I'm being unreasonable.

It's never over till the MNHQ says.

Because then motorists will complain that there are dogs going to the toilet in the road as their vehicles try to pass by. Your solution to stop them weeing on grass is bonkers.

I can’t believe anyone suggested increasing the danger of RTA’s to save grass from urine 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Based on their recent trigger happy deletions that won't be long! 🤣🤣

Do you actually live on the Truman Show?

Only on MN could someone think it’s a viable alternative for humans to stand in the road and risk life and limb to save a patch of publicly owned grass from….dog pee!
