My Pet Hate - Dk

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!

Terry Flood Date: 8/30/2021 3:04:00 PM 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.

Paula Goldsmith Date: 8/29/2021 8:26:00 AM 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............. Login to Reply

Charles Messina Date: 8/29/2021 5:44:00 AM 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 Login to Reply

Victor Buhagiar Date: 8/15/2021 1:43:00 AM I agree with you, Jan. There are many inconsiderate persons who do not care to clean after their dogs. Hugs xx Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/15/2021 11:27:00 AM horrid isnt it Victor:-( hugs Jan xx

Michelle Faulkner Date: 8/14/2021 8:13:00 PM 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!

Rico Leffanta Date: 8/14/2021 11:46:00 AM 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! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/15/2021 11:25:00 AM thanks Rico:) hugs Jan xx

L Milton Hankins Date: 8/14/2021 9:13:00 AM (chuckle) This is a good one, Jan, but when it's NOT fiction, it's really aggravating. I loved the picture! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/15/2021 11:22:00 AM thankfully our neighbours dont have pets so its fiction but dog poop really is one of my pet hates:-( hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/14/2021 9:01:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/15/2021 11:19:00 AM 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

Jenna Logan Date: 8/14/2021 8:50:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/14/2021 8:54:00 AM 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
