I think perhaps you should keep your dog off their lawn

JimmyZ

Also it starts out fine but escalates quickly. Doesn’t sound like a pleasant

Sounds like a cordial neighbor. Sheesh.

Cordial? What is friendly and warm about that text?

JimmyZ

That’s about as friendly as it gets to make that request.

Old and likes to complain about dogs - 110% chance the text is from a CBer

This text is from you and not a text you received. That’s my reaction.

My reaction to receiving this text would be to click the “Report Junk” button.

Which easily could lead to you having your dog taken by Animal Control.

Ha.

Admittedly I'm gullible, so if your response was entirely sarcastic, I missed it

Depends on how much my dog was on that lawn. If it ran across it quickly while

He only mentions dogs, so send over all the kids and go take a dump yourself

Without any context, I'd say it depends on how well you know the neighbor you sent it to. If they don't know you well,

Some people don't want to build bridges, they just want to not have poo on lawn.

If this is the first time I was addressing this concern with the neighbor.

cougarfann888

We have multiple dogs(allowed inside & backyard)& I think that's a fair text

wickedgame71

Jun 21, 10:21am

My reaction is that the receiver of the text should take better care of their do

I hope they have also purchased a gun to solve the problem.

Maybe it's just my stubborn self, but I don't like the city ordinance reference. I might send the dog back over

mokelembembe

Jun 21, 10:26am

I would acknowledge that it would be my responsibility as a dog owner to control the dog

cheezedawg

Jun 21, 10:28am

I'd think they're not happy my dog is on their lawn and I need to keep it off.

delux_247

Text him that you won’t rest until that city ordinance is repealed and your dog

DieHarder

Thanks for your input, 20% of dog owners

stoils

Jun 21, 10:37am

Maybe 20% of dog owners, but judging by the responses here, about 80% of CB!

wickedgame71

Jun 21, 11:24am

I'd think, "weird, I don't own a dog, must be a wrong number."

I think you mistook your wife for my dog

My comment was funnier when I misread it as your wife.

If you are sending this text invest in a white picket fence

So what would your response be if you're the neighbor?

Shoot the dog.

LO Cougar

Appreciate the serious reply. & I get "feeling" abit eye-rollish if I was owner

wickedgame71

Jun 21, 1:25pm

First response: I'd be annoyed about the text and find specific things about it

RoboKayne

Jun 21, 11:10am

I can kind of picture your neighbor thinking, "I don't want to sound too harsh

RoboKayne

Jun 21, 11:14am

Agreed. That is very likely exactly what the neighbor was aiming for...

wickedgame71

Jun 21, 11:43am

This is an honest/real response-As the dog owner, being abit irritated is normal

wickedgame71

Jun 21, 11:36am

I would imagine a text like this comes because of repeated offenses too.

ochobeeguy

Jun 21, 11:41am

Why is this even hard?

Traveling Coug

Jun 21, 11:12am

Person who sent is is 100% justified if it is your dog. If not…oops.

Dogs should not be running free. The text is justified and appropriate.
