There are residents in our neighborhood who are walking their dogs to fun free without leashes, allowing the dogs to go into yards and up to the home doors. I did not mind this happening in my yard until I ruined a pair of sandals in a large mound of dog poop in my front yard. I also ruined a pair of tennis shoes when stepping onto a mound in my grass near our alley in the back.
I am asking that the next newsletter remind homeowners about picking up your dog's/pet's poop and that dogs, particularly large dogs, always be on a leash when walking in the neighborhood. Please be kind to your neighbors---as kind as you are to your beloved pets.
