DEAR ABBY
Dear Abby,
My neighbors dog keeps using my entire yard as his personal dumping grounds. My family has stepped in more dog doodoo in the last year than OPEC has oil. They continually let the dog run loose even with a leash law in town and my wife has spoken to them numerous times. We know it's their dog because we've seen it happen numerous times and keep having to shoo the dog out of the yard.
Yesterday I was doing the last yard cleanup of the season and there was a fresh mound. I told my wife to grab a shovel out of the garage and throw it in the middle of the street. Instead she grabbed a shovel and walked across the street and threw it all over the top of their driveway. I told her not to but she was pissed. Their kids saw her do it and went and told daddy. Of course he was not too thrilled and came over and yelled at my wife.
My 13 year old wants to start bagging it and putting it in their mailbox but I'm afraid it will make our mailbox stink because it's right next to it and Uncle Sam will come looking to lock me up the first time they find an IED inside the mailbox.
I heard about this guy on the cape that put this cool fence up on his property that kept everyone out. Do you think I could put one in the middle of the street?
HELP what would you do?
