between exaggerating and lying. My best guess falls on massive exaggeration based on my years of internet experience.
If you have in fact been having 1400 turds a year on your lawn and you've not done anything about it to this point, that's kind of on you frankly.
I'm no defender of dogs by any means, but I can't remember the last turd I scooped - probably at least a decade. If I was scooping 1400 turds a year I'd be doing something about it.
