Was I too harsh?

[ImMACnificent]

I just moved into my apartment complex with my boyfriend a couple of months ago. This is the first place I have lived that allows pets. We adopted a cocker spaniel from a rescue and of course we have to walk him several times a day (probably one of the worst parts of having a dog and no fenced-in back yard).

There is this lady a few doors down with a dachshund who never picks up her dogs poop. She puts him on one of those chains from her patio so she does not have to actually walk him, she just stands out there while he does his business on his chain. Okay, seriously, like right now there are literally about 10 piles of poop just chillin' outside her patio door, which is also where myself and other people walk their dogs. My boyfriend and I have both stepped in her dogs poop at least once. It makes me SICK. We have a 20 dollar pooper scooper and ALWAYS pick up after our dog. It's inconsiderate not to!

I left a note on her patio door that says:

Please clean up your dog's poop outside of your patio door. It is unfair to other people with dogs to have to step in or dodge your dog's poop every day. Pooper scooper's are only 20 dollars, you could invest in one. I have stepped in your dogs poop while walking my own dog and it is very inconsiderate. If this continues, I will take this matter to the leasing office for them to handle. Please be respectful of your neighbors. Thank you.

I was pretty honest. I am just so sick of people getting animals and not cleaning up after them. Like, hello?! You live in an APARTMENT complex, other people have to step in your dog's poop, UGH you are disgusting.

Sorry I needed to vent.

Hope she gets the note and 'cleans' up her act. Heh.

Your being good for doing that. I would also report it to the Apartment management, as they should be sorting it out too!

Thats gross....everyone needs to pick up after their pets...I let a lady have it that walks her dog down the street everyday and he just happens to favor our front yard (curbside) by the mailbox for pooping....Ok thats fine if it's his spot...But pick up after him..I told her the next time I come out to get my mail and step in dog poop I am going to have a very serious problem with her. I even gave her a handful of doggie bags...She said well how do you know it's Ralphie..I said because Ralphie is the only one that I see out here everyday and it looks like Ralphie's turds anyway...and I stormed off.

 

[ImMACnificent]

LOL @ the name Ralphie.


Dude, seriously a pooper scooper is like the easier thing to use, you don't have to use your hands or anything. IT'S SO EASY. I hope these people get their act together. I am just disgusted.

^^ I know and he's a black bulldog!!

 

[ImMACnificent]

Is bulldog's poop large?!

OMG This is a WONDERFUL convo! HAhaha. Ew.

The dachshund's poop is small but it's THERE and disgusting

I don't think you were too harsh at all..this lady needs to be told this..you are giving her a fair warning before you take it any further...she needed to hear it! If your going to have a dog, learn to clean up after it. It doesn't require much time, she is just being lazy!

Amen sister! I just don't want it to come across like I was being a raging bitch, but I guess it just depends on how she reads it? Oh well, like you said, fair warning before I go to the leasing office.

OMG this is seriously disgusting. Like, that would be like not throwing away your baby's diapers and just leaving them on the floor or counter in rest rooms. -dry heave-

At the place where I lived before june of this year (we bought a condo) there was this stupid ass girl right next door who decided she would buy a dog. Let's not start on her case... but long story short : she was a crazy low class hooker, and lived with her bf, about the same quality of people... see the point?

So, one day I got tired of having dog piss and poo on my porch, so I told the owner about the dog. She didnt know, and since the girl was supposed to leave in a month or so, I was packing up my patience until the day she left, but that day it was enough.

Since the wall between us was so thin, I could hear anything, including the phone ringing and her bf answering to who was probably the owner about the dog poo everywhere...

I just had the time to close my windows and lock my doors that the crazy @ss guy came knocking on my 2 doors, trying to open it!!! He was screaming at me. 2 minutes after, I heard him screaming at the janitor that he would KILL ME!!! Yeah, kill me because I suposely (sp??) lied about the poo, that it wasnt his dog. YEAH right dude, were are two on this level, I have no dog or no cat going outside, come on.

They left the day after without paying, and they made their dog poo in front of my door. I opened the door, I just missed the chance of taking the fresh poo to throw it at them carrying their white bed spread...

I hope this neighbor of yours is more easy to deal with. Usually people who act like that arent very fun...
Tell us back when you have news!

Yep pretty good size....He is low to the ground and Ralphie is super fat so they probably let him eat so much stuff that a dog doesn't need...chicken wings, Hot dogs ...pizza

Oh my gosh, that is a horrible experience! I have seen this lady outside, she said my dog was cute, so I'm not thinking she is of 'quality' of your old neighbor, but ya never know. She also throws her cigarette butts outside and around her dog's poop there are like DOZENS of cigarette butts. I smoke, as well (I know, gross) but we have a bottle outside we put all our butts in. I guess all of us are raised differently, but where are these people's common sense? Like they thought you wouldn't get mad at DOG POOP being on your porch?! Good lord, some of these people need smacked around a bit. Hah.

Hahahahaha, I'm sure all of those foods would not only give our pudgy friend Ralphie a LOT of horrible gas, but some SUPER smelly poop.
YIKES!

Does his owner also look like she eats way too many hot dogs, chicken wings and pizza?

 

[Shimmer]

if she can't afford a poop scooper walmart bags work.

True. My pooper scooper actually scoops it right into a bag that you attach to it, we use target and walmart bags! Maybe I should push some her way. At this point I'm willing to pick it up myself, then chunk it at her sliding glass patio door.

 

[statusmode]

It's a good thing you left her that letter, and I agree you should talk to the management if she doesn't get it together.
One morning as I stepped outside my front door to go to school I saw a lady holding the leash of a massive great dane while he pooped on our front lawn (we live in front of a PARK!).. the worst part is as soon as she saw me she yanked her dog's leash and jogged away. If I was anyone else I would have shouted at her to pick it up with a bag or something but I hate confrontation.. if it weren't for the fact that my parents have private gardeners that clean up after my puppy anyway I would've been so pissed lol

Apparently our leasing office has someone that comes out once a month to clean up poop, I'm like UHHH, that is not needed. We are all adults. If you can't clean up after your dog, DON'T GET A DOG. :X

Please let us know what she replies. It's so immature what she's doing.
