| A safety reminder... We've gone to great expense and effort to totally puppy proof our front deck for our babies so we can let them out safely and not have to worry about them escaping under a deck rail or through the spindles or something...there are locking gates at the steps and opening to the front yard and added wood under the rails so they can't get underneath. We never let them out alone but we do sit out there with our babies in nice weather and it has to be safe. Anyway, just a few minutes ago my husband looked out the front window and said 'There's something big and black in our front yard...it just jumped over the deck rail from inside our deck'. I thought he was seeing things so he turned on the front light and there was a huge black lab standing there...he had just been on our deck! If I had opened the door and let my babies out before me he might have gotten one of them. I never thought I'd have to check out my totally enclosed deck before letting them out but I guess from now on I'll have to. |

| You wanna hear something that's really bad? In my neighborhood theres some people who walk there dogs on the leash, but the leash is very long so the dogs have room to walk all up in the yards and poop! Last year I saw dog poop up by our front porch one day, then last week in our association newsletter they had a thing about this, and I noticed the next night when I was driving home I saw 2 people walking there dogs, and they were stopped and the dogs were all the way up towards peoples front doors! If I ever catch someone allowing there dog all the way up by my porch all hell will break lose! I will pick up the poop, follow them home and SMEAR it on their front porch!

| that really angers me..you shouldn't have to worry about other dogs on your property like that! I had to change my route in my neighborhood when walking Lily because of a similiar situation.

| poop in yard I live right by a walking trail. People walk a hundred dogs a day by my house. Most on leash (99.9%) BUT I go to get in my car and about 1/4 of the time I step in giant dog poop! They walk into my yard and they don't scoop up their giant dog's poop. My little one could get into it. It is so gross! |

| Stray, unatteded animals equals irresponsible pet owners that should not be allowed to have them. I am so tired of stepping in poop in my yard. We had some concrete poured out front so we can put in a pergalo, those poor guys stepped in it. Yesterday we had some guys come to create a network for our computers and connect a new internet service...one of the tracked poop onside. Ugh! If I see anyone at all letting their dog poop in my yard, I will demand they pick it up right then and there or I will follow them home and then call the police. That is just beyond disgusting. As far as my baby....I can't walk her in my neighborhood because there are too many large dogs running loose and our animal control is useless. Just like they don't exist at all. Once I took her with me to pick up the mail and some kids were yelling "Watch OUT!!"....I looked behind me and there was one almost up on us and I pulled Sassy up very quickly by her harness. It is pretty scary. Especially the two rotties that live on my block. HUGE!! I am terrified of them. So Sassy only gets to go in our backyard and only with me attending her. |

| We always go out with our babies but that dog scared me last night. The last time I let them out before bed I had to go out first and check the deck to make sure he wasn't there again. The next time I see that dog I'm going to call him in...I'm not taking the chance of him hurting (or much worse!) one of my dogs. |

| It makes me mad when people let their dogs roam around. We have alot of that in our neighborhood so we are always guard. I have a fenced in front and back yard though so that helps. We run into problems on walks
