It's Not Fertilizer, It's Just Rude

I love to hear people argue-- after their dog poos in my yard and they refuse to pick it up-- that "it's fertilizer, it's good for the grass."

Yeah, that's great. If I throw one of Anna's diapers in your yard it might break down to something which might be potentially helpful to your yard-- in 3.5 million years.

If your dog pooing in my yard is so helpful to the soil, why don't you cancel your lawn service and, instead, feed your dog chili and Ex-Lax so they can fertilize YOUR OWN yard. Better yet, I'll eat the chili and Ex-Lax and come do it for you.

The point is, sure it might be helpful to the yard once the nitrogen breaks down but in the 3 months it takes for that to happen it's just a disease-ridden landmine that I prefer none of family step in.

  • My dog poos in my yard.

    If we're out walking and she poos then I use a Commercial Appeal plastic baggie to pick it up.

    Funny, the shat I put in the bag in the afternoon closely resembles the shat that comes out of the bag in the morning.

  • Legally, you can report them. There is a law on the books in regards to picking up your dog poo in Memphis. Not sure if you are in the city or not. It might still be for those outside of the city.

    Wouldn't you neighbors love you for that one?
