Wait .... people just give you shit?!?!?
Around here, they're always stealing shit.
Seems like I've seen more deer around this year than normal, but it also seems like more random assholes driving around this year than usual as well. They circle my neighborhood and I'd be surprised if they weren't heading up Basin's way as well. My guess is someone is getting Basin's roses for mother's day. People suck.
Had the dogs out briefly in our fenced front yard the other day. The new puppy is a barker (at everything) and one of our older dogs will chime in for moral support, even if he doesn't know why we're barking in the first place. Thing 3 has health issues, and rarely barks anymore, but will if the thing 1 and 2 get him going. I'm keeping an eye through the storm door when a county co-worker walks by and tells all 3 of them to shut up. The dogs are typically never in the yard more than 5 min, so don't just stay out there barking for hours on end, but I too get annoyed by yapping dogs in fenced yards, so I guess neither of us are amused?
The puppy trying to chase cars from inside the fence though is pure hilarity!
Vineyards plant rose's at the end of rows to distract the deer from the grapes.
Deer like bright flowers. I used to love to plant geraniums in pots all around my patio and walk but the deer love them too and all I ended up with were stems and leaves. Then I switched to all petunias because they had left those alone. Now without the geraniums they've decided thre petunias are tasty.
One night our cocker and cockapoo chased a bear back up the hill. An aggressive attitude can make up for a lack of size and strength. Except when it doesn't.Quote:

One day I went in there to toss one and there was a handwritten note on the wall that said "Please don't throw your dog shit bags in here it clogs the pump". So that was the end of that.

Can relate. It keeps the hounds from getting into it.Quote:

I'm not sure on the specifics but around these parts people who want to protect plants from deer use sprinklers on motion sensors. Put them around your plants like it is a steel mill in Ukraine. Deer come by and get pelted, yard gets watered, plants thrive, everybody wins. I don't know details on how to set this up but here is an option. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Orbit-Yard-...ler/1000661635
I bag my dogs ass and put it in my pocket. If I leave a bag anywhere there is a 100% chance I will forget to pick it up. I know because I tried doing that...once. Just don't buy the cheap ass bags, search for the good ones that actually contain the smell and are strong enough to make it home in a pocket.
Double bag it.Quote:

I live on the edge of downtown. Apartment dwellers drive into the neighborhood
to walk their dogs. Occasionally I have to remind some of them that my yard is not
a dog park.
If it's garbage day and the truck hasn't come yet, I'll leave a tied up dog poop bag in someone else's can if it's out on the curb/street. Don't see why that's a big deal. I'd never do it if the truck has already come, that's a dick head move.Quote:

I would also occasionally do what I call "poop penance", picking up other dog's poop to make up for the times I forgot the bag I left.
I stopped leaving poop bags because I realized that it didn't matter if I NEVER forgot to pick up the bag. People go on hikes (including me) to experience nature, to relax in that environment, and plastic bags of poop degrade that experience for anyone who sees it, regardless of whether it gets picked up an hour later. And I live in a place where there are a lot of poop bags on the trail, and it's pretty gross. Not wanting to be the guy who contributes to someone else's hike being crappy (pun intended), I started carrying them with me, it's not that hard.
Bravo, reallyQuote:

Speaking of bears, I was amused by this bear in Connecticut that managed to lock itself inside a car: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2071068.html
Pretty soon it might not dog shit in that bag left by the trail.

Is putting your shit in a landfill really the best possible solution?
Not really, it needs to go to a treatment facility.Quote:

The idea of the WAG bags is that the chemicals in them make the shit no worse than other garbage. Nonetheless the ideal solution would be to compost it.
I rarely need to dispose of dog poop but when I do I move it to where it won't get stepped on and let Mother Nature handle it. Am I a bad person?
Yes. But not for that alone.Quote:

Dog poop pales in comparison.
I don't mind that, nor would I probably even notice it since I've already put out the bin. Unfortunately the ONLY time they do it to mine is after the bin's been emptied and I don't bring it in from the curb fast enough. It is indeed a dickhead move.Quote:

Your garbage collection is the guy reaching in and grabbing a bag? Holy shit, I haven't seen that type of collection in decades. It's been automated "grab the entire can and dump it into the truck" for as long as I can remember.Quote:
