Bit of a follow-on from Adams post (which is a hoot).

Our pooch (who sticks her paws up to us) ran over the road and piddled on a
front lawn. As I collected the pooch the 'lady' of the house (35'ish) came
out muttering something. I said sorry or pardon (I forget which), she burst
forth (in upper case) with "YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID", I kinda lost interest
after that. I'm just hoping that she'll need some help sometime, I doubt
it'll ever happen, sadly (it never does). Yet again I must have 'walk all
over me' written on my brow. I would have said 'I hope you don't mind me
asking but would you try to keep your dog off our front lawn please'.
Yes I know, I'm the pillock.

I bet the lady across the road agrees 100% with your subject line:

Just to get this straight... a dog peed on your lawn? No bricks through the
window, car lights smashed, garage/house broken into, physical assault, gang
of youths shouting and screaming? Ok, just checking.

I had to read it a few times to get it as well, but I think he's saying that
*his* dog ****ed on the lady across the road's lawn, and she was a bit
offensive about it. He is then putting himself in her shoes, and saying what
*he* would have said if the situation were reversed, and it was *his* lawn
that had been ****ed on by *her* dog ... I think ... :-)

If I were the OP though, I think I might have been a bit more worried about
the dog taking off on its own across the road, because if it did it in front
of me as I drove my car down there, he would probably get similar 'upper
case' verbals from me, but with a whole lot more expletives thrown in for
good measure !

In NZ, a dog in a street or park or beach is required to be on a lead,
and the owner is required to pick up its turds. Otherwise the dog will
be impounded and/or the owner fined. I think that works well.

Leashed and pick after them. Supposedly the same here; certainly

PS. Of course we have a lot of open country and this does not apply if
out hunting rabbits.

I once lived near the end of a cul-de-sac. Never again. It became a
playground for kids who had no respect for cars, Had dogs lying in the road,
etc. I prefer the constant passage of traffic - it leads to everyone
understanding the rules of the road a bit better.

I live on what is now a cul-de-sac. It's great. People play on the road
outside, cats lying in the road, etc. (shortage of dogs to lie in the
road here).

It's more of a living space than a road - people learning the rules of
the road can do that on the roads which get here, and rather than
wasting all that space for the occasional car, it gets used.

Likewise. Have to sleep in the back of the house and the drive fills up
with cigarette ends but not as bad as sitting there guessing how much
damage the car is taking or whether the next ball to hit the window will
result in a shower of broken glass on us and the settee.
We are responsible dog owners. Sadly many dog owners are not.

I think it varies a lot. I grew up on a (sort of) crescent, which was a
great place; my cousins grew up in a cul-de-sac which was also great; my
wife on the other hand grew up in a cul-de-sac that was a parking nightmare
and full of extremely nosy and troublesome neighbours. We now live on a
straight road where the neighbours take an interest and note everyhting
that's going on, but without intruding; the only downside being too much
traffic and poor visibility due to parked vans, making it less than perfect
for the younger kids.

There is the issue that dogs are pretty easy to train and actually belong to
the owner.

Cats are just vermin and only belong to the owner when it suits the owner.


I hate cats. They're nice to you when the want something then they feck

You can get some nice lilies that produce toxic pollen, well toxic to cats
but safe to most other things.
They are very pretty and I recommend growing lots of them.
If you are worried about cats then stick a warning sign up so the owners can
take their cats to the vets for very expensive treatment when it comes home
with an unknown illness.
If you have a problem with them digging in a particular spot you can cut
some strips of half inch square mess to make effective barbed wire that is
unobtrusive once the plants have grown over it. Don't do it if you have
kids.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Tim Watts saying
something like:

I hate cats. They're nice to you when the want something then they feck off
waving their arse at you as soon as they get it.

Not unlike some humans, then.

I like em both.

It always amuses me that people are on about sacing the enbvironment and
hate animals.

Dog crap is an issue, but making people bag it almost makes it worse.

What you need are proper places where people can walk dogs and let them
crap. In peace and harmony with Nature.

Tell kids 'this place is full of dog crap: at your own risk'

cats crap a bit more discretely. They cover it up.

Oh! Dog wars:-)

Try owning urban fringe farmland.

A point targeted at dog owners in general is that *damage* caused by an
individual dog is slight (brown patches from bitch piddle on lawns
excepted) however, even slight damage accumulates. During the course of
a day something approaching 100 pets are exercised on routes passing
through my crops.

Various access Acts require dogs to be kept under *close control* but
strong words with the owner usually get a response of *he/she does enjoy
it so* as if this overrides any conscience regarding private property.

Dog leads are only intended for protecting pets from road traffic after
all.

Rights of way have various widths in different parts of the country but
IMV none wide enough to allow the use of Frisbees, ball throwers or
other commonly brought implements to encourage the dog to run further
than the owner is willing to walk.

I suspect I am in a minority here so rant over:-)

Nope, I'm with you, provided the rights of way that do cross your
land are signed and stiles, gates etc maintained. Both parties, the
farmer and the public have a duty to respect each other.
Unfortunately many of the great unwashed from the towns seem to think
that the countryside is just a play park for them not a place of work
and the source of someone lively hood.

We don't have crops around here just livestock but I fully support
any farmer that gives any (unknown/uncontrolled) dog on the loose
around their stock the "benefit" of the pointy end of a shotgun. If
the owner is about certainly give warning to the owner to get their
dog under control and back on a lead pronto or it will be shot.

land are signed and stiles, gates etc maintained. Both parties, the
farmer and the public have a duty to respect each other.
Unfortunately many of the great unwashed from the towns seem to think
that the countryside is just a play park for them not a place of work
and the source of someone lively hood.

We don't have crops around here just livestock but I fully support
any farmer that gives any (unknown/uncontrolled) dog on the loose
around their stock the "benefit" of the pointy end of a shotgun. If
the owner is about certainly give warning to the owner to get their
dog under control and back on a lead pronto or it will be shot.

How odd, my neighbourly farmer who sadly died earlier his year, couldn't
give a hoot about the dogs..deer do far more damage as do the badgers
and rabbits..except he didn't want them chasing his pheasants. But he
accepted that that was inevitable where the footpaths lay.

Arable farmer rather than livestock? If you don't have livestock dogs
don't frighten or kill your "crop", where as deer and rabbits do...

pigs are horses..for racing.

Yes. Actually most signage is done by user groups with Highways
responsible for where a r.o.w. leaves the metalled highway. I have a
good relationship with the County Official who supplies bits for me to

Tricky one, that. It is an offence to have a dog *at large* in a field
of sheep. Shooting a dog not actually engaged in worrying livestock is
likely to bring unwelcome police interest.

Anyway, my guns are all locked away in the farmhouse and not usually to
hand.

Not if the dog is simply never found.


One landowner here does that. Or his keepers do. Dogs turn up with
shotgun wounds, or not at all. Everyone acts shocked.

Try owning urban fringe farmland.

My dogs are not interested in crops, and do zero damage to them, except
when the terrier chases the deer across them, which does a bit more,
deer being a bit bigger.

Dogs like places other animals are/have been. And that's the paths, and
the woods and the hedges. Crop fields are boring, to dogs.

Mind you, its about 6 dogs a day max, on a sunday. On the average day,
its me only.

Unfortunately too many dog owners show a great deal of ignorance. In my
school days, we had games lessons on the school playing fields ... that dog
owners brought their dogs to every day - disgusting! We also have grass
verges at the roadside outside our house and we and our young children
often have to play dodge the dog poo - which is nigh on impossible during
the dark winter months. The local "dog excercise area" is the public
playing field, laid out with football and lacrosse pitches. Why do these
owners think it's okay to invade every play area and allow their animals to
foul it?

We don't have too much trouble with that here. They tend to sit chatting to
people on the pavements and leave a huge pile blocking the whole pavement
It is a bloody pain when they do that next to a busy main road when
you've got a child in a buggy. The other thing about horse owners, is that
the seem to delight in going for a ride down the main roads at rush-hour -
we've got bloody miles of open land and bridlepaths (even with special
corssings) and they choose to ride along busy roads where there's never
enough gap in the oncoming traffic to pass wide of the horse without
flooring it to get by very quickly, so you're stuck.

The horses pulling the tourist sightseeing carriages in Bruges all have

But Dennis, it is the anonymity that makes what I did funny. I COULD have
parked my van across his driveway and punched him in the gob. Instead I
decided to wind him up to screaming pitch without spending a night in the
cells, paying a fine and doing 100 hours community service. I also could
have had parking tickets and speeding tickets put on the car, however that
would be just too nasty and the police may actually do something if that
were to happen. I have probably made the guy £50 as he will be able to weigh
the car in. The guy has an attitude problem - he blocks me in on a driveway
and complains at ME when at 6.30am I have to wake him up to move his car. He
sealed his own fate when he called me a **** (from the safety of an upstairs
window) for waking him up and then got his wife to move the car as he was
too scared to come outside himself.

He didn't 'let' the dog **** on the grass, it just ****ed on the grass, it's
an animal, not an extension of himself, this is where irrational people like
you and his snotty neighbour can't seperate the two.

If it had been my dog i would have apologised to the neighbour and scolded
the mutt in the process, and if any 'UPPER CASE' mutterings came forth, they
would have been told that, 'it's a dog, it's not on a secret mission to kill
grass and nor was it ordered to do so, and get the **** over it you sad

they would have been told that, 'it's a dog, it's not on a secret mission
to kill grass and nor was it ordered to do so, and get the **** over it
you sad ****'
