I appreciated the history of the city and state laws on this matter. I walk about 16 miles a week in my neighborhood in Des Moines. I carry plastic bags with me, picking up trash in the street and on the curb as I walk. I pick up two bags of dog poop per week, on average, that people leave in the street or on the curb, and place them in my barrel when I return home. I am puzzled by those who bag the poop, but then leave it.
Ha! Never thought about when poop-scooping started. As a former dog owner, the only thing I can think that they might be doing is protecting a plant from the effects of urine?
Perhaps your neighbor has identified a habitual offender but is not comfortable confronting them directly.
Good point! Benefit of the doubt.

Agreed! Thanks for being a good neighbor and for commenting!

Yes, because pee is full of nitrogen and it can make a yellow spot. But still.
Very nice! Glad we live in the country with only farm fields and timber around us!
Exactly!
