Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me. I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.
I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)
advice
So, me and my boyfriend just bought a house and the previous owners apparently never raked the leaves up, so the yard was full of leaves and trash and various poo's. Yesterday, we just got the last of the leaves raked up, and throughout noticed that there were a few piles of dog poo that weren't there the day before. I didn't think much of it, because I assumed that whoever left it just assumed that since the area was full of leaves and trash, that we wouldn't mind or notice a little "fertilizer".
But, today, just one day after getting the lawn trash and leaf-free, we noticed yet another pile of dog poo.
My questions are...
How can I catch whoever is letting their dog poo in our yard?
And, What should I do to make them stop?
Just so you know, the law in my town is a $500 fine for getting caught for not picking up after your dogs, but no one ever gets caught even though we live 50 feet from the police station.
i would wait a few more days, and if you are still seeing dog poo in your yard, put up a sign saying something like you have installed cameras and if anyone is filmed leaving their dog's mess behind, you will turn it in to the police. you obviously don't have to install cameras, but that should scare away anyone who even thinks about leaving that stuff in your yard! hope that helps! :)
(Rating: 5) thanks, I never would have thought of that. :)
