I mowed my lawn in my red Jimmy Choos Now there’s dog poop on my new shoes My lazy neighbor's got an untrained pup It poops on MY lawn - they don’t clean it up! The lawn’s dotted with piles of dog muck I’m gobsmacked in fact I’m dumbstruck So I’ve ordered them a pooper scooper I hope they’ll use it on their pesky pooper Fiction poem - but dog mess is a pet hate of mine!

Congrats on your win, Jan. when we were buying our house, the previous owner had one, yes, ONE Labrador. He had clearly de-pooped his lawn for our visit, which he clearly didn’t do often. We arrived slightly early, to find a wheelbarrow all but full of Labrador doo doo in the middle of his back lawn. Terry

Congratulations on your win. A cute write and picture. Shovel it back on their yard. Years ago I had a neighbor with a pretty yard. They would get out of the car and put trash on my yard never taking it into their house. After years, I got mad, put it All Over Their Yard. That ended it. Blessings.............

Love this, Jan. It's so annoying that we must have to pick up someone else's pets muck. You have the right idea though (lol). Congratulations on your win! Hugs // Charlie

I agree with you, Jan. There are many inconsiderate persons who do not care to clean after their dogs. Hugs xx

I've put a container of poop bags by my yard in case somebody 'forgets' to bring a bag, but they still don't use them, so I get it!

Plenty of dog poop in Hawai'i as senior citizens claim they are too old/disabled to clean up after their "service" dog, so you have certainly entered the best-named contest! Winner for sure!

(chuckle) This is a good one, Jan, but when it's NOT fiction, it's really aggravating. I loved the picture!

I agree with you Jan, they should be heavily fined, most dog owners I see clean up its just that minority that give responsible owners a bad name. Tom

they do have notices in public areas, but the signs on the lamp posts must be too high for the dogs to read lol:-( hugs Jan xx

It's disgusting, isn't it? Loads of poop allowed to sit on someone else's lawn, yet they'd probably complain if someone else's dog crapped on theirs.

Thankfully its a fiction poem for me and it's not a problem i have at my garden but i do find dog mess in the street totally unacceptable, it really is my 'pet hate' hugs Jan xx
