I usually don’t mind dogs running around on the ice, unless they get obnoxious knocking things over and getting into things. But I wonder how anyone can let them roam outside where the master is fishing.

Not to sound like an idiot but how does one go all Agamemnon on someone? It sounds like a handy ability to have.
Of course that is a joke. One of my dogs does her business in the high-grass/field. The other one does it where ever smells best. I am assuming it must be the smell because he will sniff around for 10 minutes before finding the right spot!
Winter time, however, sucks. If I haven’t had time to plow/shovel yet.. especially early morning.. they will do their business right on the front walk. Once I shovel/plow.. they find better places.

He’s the King that conquered Troy.
so the way you “go Agamemnon on someone”
is to hide in a hollow wooden horse statue and then jump out when they show up with their dog

I had a huge long haired German Shepard come tearing across the ice to get at my little gal one day. Luckily I carry bear spray, he got the full benefit. Owner was NOT happy, but I explained that I still had some left in the can. At $40 a can I really hate to use it 
jerr
I live next to a walking path with a park not too far way. Evidently about 12-14 times a year the person walking their dog thinks I enjoy cleaning up after them or rolling over the poop with my lawn mower…
Last year someone saw me chucking the poop into some tall grass behind my house and said that is not ” proper “. I replied that ” I do not own a dog ”
I am still waiting for a reply from them… 
I knew who Agamenmon was but forgot about the Trojan horse deal. I was picturing a person wielding a rake or weed whip around. So far the people in my neighborhood walking dogs haven’t used it as a pit stop. I guess I’ll have to keep the Trojan horse idea in mind. Maybe a ghille suit would work too. “Hey look they planted a big bush in the yard. OMG!”
I lived on a busy street and had MANY people let their dog poop on my yard….I never gave it much thought, as I had two dogs at the time and they pooped in the same area. I guess I never thought to get upset over it, as it was just an extra shovel full a week…… I do see the headaches it would cause for people that don’t have dogs, but for me, it was really a non-issue.

My vision is going with my case of spring fever. Didn’t notice the jester.

I dont know but maybe you could help me access a nearby lake since Im a little afraid of the ice?
Couldn’t agree more. I coach football and we have a field turf game field surrounded by a track. People will take their dogs with them while they walk on the track and let them crap on the field turf. I know a lot of dumb people,but that is as dumb as it gets.

BK told me to say that. Inside joke I assumed?
I’m not skeered of no stinking ice. 
If you have any familiarity at all with the concept of pucker factor,
You would’ve been scared of the first ice I ever took BK out onto
(but for some reason he’s hooked on the “extreme adventure” and wants to try it again and again; kinda like after you get off from a scary roller coaster ride I guess)
Here is my rant for the day. People that are not capable of fixing their own plumbing or hiring someone out at a prompt time to get it done to the point they are pooping in the bushes along side the sidewalk to their own home. What the *uck is wrong with some people! Your neighbors must just love you watching you take your morning squat in the bushes. This is just messed up.
1st house today I think the lady was pissing in the corner of her kitchen. To dam lazy to walk to the bathroom. Throw in 5 dogs, atleast 3 cats, birds, lizards, rabbit and a furnace cranked up. After a hour of being in this home this morning I wanted to burn my clothes and peal my skin off.
Sad thing is this didnt even come close to some of the homes I refuse to work in. If the service people you hire are bringing puke buckets with them into your home, wearing face masks and full suits get a fricking clue. Yes you are living in a crap hole.
Screw whats on your side walk just be happy you dont have to see how they treat their homes. I come across crap like this 2 to 3 times a month. How in the hell does a family live in conditions like that? There are a lot of very *ucked up people in this world. Very, very messed up. Good thing is they are living right along side of all of us.
If you want to hear the unedited version of this just by me a beer sometime.
Had a neighbor whose dog started to crap consistently right in front of our attached garage door. Did the neighborly thing and pointed it out but nothing was done. One day I took the pile and transplanted it near the rear drivers side door of their station wagon. I happened to be in my garage when they went to leave…open rear door, dog jumps in the car and all over the interior, bloody murder screams that their dog was getting poop all over the interior. I popped a cold one…
Funny thing with me is my current Dog and my last Dog both like my own yard as their Toilet!
Take Poo Bags that we bought and go for a walk since I fertilized (Keep off for 48 hours) the yard. I walk and walk and plead with the mutt to do his Crap so we can go home. A ½ – 45 minutes later, still no Poo. I’m now tired and take dog home. As soon as we reach my driveway the flood gates of Poo open and leave a stinking mess in the driveway. Ya know how tough it is to pick up ultra soft dog crap from warm concrete?
I end up letting dog in the house and then get broom and the hose out to clean it up. Water a small section of the yard and next morning take him out and Poo away.
Why me???
Another Dog ranting, this happened 9 years ago:
I live in the City of Limits of a Suburb with a fairly secluded backyard with many trees offering privacy, but also home to many critters. Neighbors know I live trap and dispatch (Pellet Gun) Coons, Possums, Squirrels and Rabbits from my garden. At this time, we did not have a dog.
Got up on a Friday morning (Day off work) in the morning and after breakfast headed out to do some quick gardening. Open my backdoor on the garage to sit down and put yard shoes on and there’s my neighbor’s taking a crap at the bottom of my deck stairs. I picked a rock and tossed in his direction to scare him. Aim was Off (ha ha) and hit him dead center in the back of the head. He Yelps and runs home. I grabbed a shovel, scooped it up and let it fly into their yard, unseen by anybody. I never thought anymore of it.
Later after lunch I was out again, just finished mowing and talking to the neighbor about the weather and fishing and he says nothing about it.
My wife gets home a little after 2, then was packing for a weekend away and sees a Police car next door. Kind wondered what that was about and then the knock. Officer is at our door and starts asking some odd questions and then asks if I shot the neighbors dog? I look at him and ask if he thinks I’m nuts as I would never shoot a neighbors pet. (Really wanted to tell him, If I would have shot the dog, he would not have ran home, he’d be DEAD!, but to avoid further complications, I kept my mouth shut on that) Officer proceeds to tell me the neighbor heard his dog yelp and his dog came running home from my direction. Said the neighbor says I shoot animals and thought I shot his dog and asked if that’s true? I said, Yes, Sir, I trap and dispatch animals damaging my garden. Then I get the rundown about it being illegal to discharge a gun in the city. I told him, I do this inside my garage with a pellet gun. Again, more about I shouldn’t be doing that.
My wife is getting pissed, thinking I actually did shoot the dam dog. I said, No, I did not shoot their dog, I explained what happened and how I just tried to scare the dog away and to stop crapping on my walk and accidentally hit the dog. Then the dog yelped and ran home. I didn’t think much more of it as I barely hit him with a little 1-inch rock thrown under handed. Wife was more satisfied and wondering why the neighbor didn’t just say something earlier? (I’m thinking well, now she’s pissed at the neighbor for calling the police).
The officer then tells me that’s not how we handle things around here and I should have just asked the neighbor to keep their dog in their own yard. Wife laughed and I looked at him like I have and there dog is deaf and half blind. I’m not going to go over there every time he craps in my yard. That dog sits and craps in the street and on other neighbor’s yards too, the only time he’s on a leash is when they talk him for a walk. Why don’t you enforce that law. Officer said I’ll talk to them about that and you can always call us and we’ll handle it. I said we’re neighbor’s, we talk all the time, so why didn’t he just ask me about it? Well, I’ll go talk to him and then if its ok ask him to come over so you can talk.
In the mean time I see neighbor’s wife gets home. Officer went and talked to them and he left as they came over.
They come over and he said he is sorry for calling the Police, but really thought I shot his dog (meanwhile his wife chews him out for not being neighborly and just asking me about it). They say they’ll try to keep an eye on the dog and keep him their yard. All is back to Kosher.
I did however notice the Police would drive by quite often especially early mornings and evenings after this, I am sure looking to see if I have a gun outside. On a few occasions’, chasing the neighbors dog out of the street and talking to them about keeping the dog tied up as they agreed.
Some so called 
neighbors walk their dog so it intentionally craps on my yard. I don’t care whether it’s picked up or not IT’s FLIPPIN RUDE. I ask them if I can deficate on their yard and if they ever heard of scrupples a.k.a. BRAINS! Rant 1008 done.

Like I said, its the opposite with me. Dogs crap 1 block into the walk,. I think they feel special seeing me carry it, maybe a dominance thing.
The only thing worse then letting the dog crap and leaving it behind is the neighbors dogs running laps around the trees in your yard like it is a racetrack and destroying the grass and leaving a big muddy rut and then saying ” my dogs didn’t do that” even though they are standing there watching it happen. Oh and then complaining when the dog runs into a conviently placed trailer in the dark.
