Don't thank me for my cooperation

I don't intend to cooperate with you. Your fence is on public property. If my dog decides to pop a squat on this sidewalk, I'm not going to stop her. You don't like it? Move to Oklahoma. They got lots of space out there. In the meantime, we're all on top of each other here, and have to make the best of it. May I suggest a garden hose to wash down your fence and a dash of tolerance to top of your day?

  1. Speaking of dogs, peeing, and fences - I have a story. When I was a lad we walked to elementary school - it was like 10-12 blocks. (uphill both ways as I recall) There were various dogs along the way and I stopped to pet one and knelt down on my side of the chain link fence.
    Yup, he lifted his leg and got me good! The good news is that I was on the way HOME.
    If that happened now, my mom could have brought a suit against the owners and I would be able to enjoy a much better quantity of stuff...er, quality of life.

  4. Man, what a presumption! And how much can some dog pee hurt a fence anyway? I mean, unless that person is into licking the fence or something. And then that just adds flavoring.

  5. Oh snap, sorry Alix. I'll tell them to move to North Dakota.

  6. The sign may be passive/agressive. But your comment is ridiculous. Dogowners are required to curb their dogs - not let them go on fences, planters, etc. Moreover, dogowners are required to clean up - why would you think it's someone else's responsibility to hose down your mess?
