Also remind them that doo-doo can spread worms and other diseases which is why the counties have (or should have) leash and fence laws in the first place.<br /><br />If they still don't get it, and/or their dog drops by to drop a load, then follow the SWAT example when they need to persuade the guard dogs to step away from the door at drug stash houses - get 'em dead center with a fire extinguisher.<br /><br />When all else fails - anti-personnel land mines work wonders for establishing psychological barriers. $3 per mine, and they are the size of a large hockey puck, so they'll blend right in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368390343692114709.post-314035019233446002010-01-04T12:01:44.254-05:002010-01-04T12:01:44.254-05:00Anything that has shat in my iris bed deserves my ...Anything that has shat in my iris bed deserves my full wrath.

A good shot with the garden hose usually does the trick.

If the humans object, tough. They need to face the consequences of their actions - namely, leash 'em or yard 'em, or they will get hurt one way or the other. (I would suggest a shovel in a controlled bash on the bridge of their nose, but some people find instant discipline cruel for some bizarre reason.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
