Today Maddie and I went to help a friend make divinity. We have gotten together to make divinity every year at Christmas time and now she has macular degeneration and blind, which breaks my heart...so, I end up making the stuff, but we have fun doing it. She and her husband are in their 80's...I lived next door to them for 20 years.

While there and waiting for the divinity to set, I took Maddie out to go potty. Maddie ran over to an area and started sniffing. I went to look and it was a huge pile of dog poop! I picked Maddie up and looked around and there was dog poop everywhere...big poops! These people do not own a dog, but their neighbor does and allows his dog to go in my friend's yard. I was soooo ticked! I went inside and asked them if they knew their back yard was full of dog poop. They weren't surprised as the neighbors dog is always doing his thing there. I told them I was going to go out and shovel the poop unto the neighbors driveway, and that was fine with them, so I did! I scooped poop for a long time...and carried it to the neighbors driveway. I could have been nasty and just thrown it so it scattered all over, but I just put it all in the same area of his driveway. You should have seen the pile of poop in that man's driveway! Shame on him for having his dog poop in his neighbors yard. They are elderly and have stepped in the stuff and tracked it into their house. My friend can't even see if she's about to step in poop! I was so angry my blood was about boiling! I sure hope that idiot takes the hint when he sees the pile of poop in his driveway! Thank goodness we have no snow right now...all ours melted...yippeeee! It sure would be a mess next spring when the snow thawed if all that had been under it!

Okay...so now I've vented...thanks for listening! Oh...one thing...the divinity sure turned out delicious! LOL
