Neighbors dogs?

Question

I like my neighbors and their dogs but my house is pretty close to theirs(no fence) and they have two large inside dogs that come outside to poop quite often. In the warm weather my three kids like to be outside playing and we don't like to smell the poop which they hardly ever clean up. How do I nicely tell them they need to change this?? I am getting sick of smelling this everyday Please help me!!!

Answer 1

Wow, I really feel sorry for you!!!
I would take pictures of the yard with all of the "deposits" and take it to the animal shelter and see if they can do anything about forcing these otherwise "nice" neighbors to clean up thie yard. You might talk to the police about the problem, as well as the Health Department. Hopefully this will lead you in the right direction and you can get one of the other agencies to run interferience with these "nice neighbors.
Or, you might approach them - saying that the "deposits" attract flies, and are unhealthy for your children. Hopefully this approach will work.
The only other thing is to suggest that they hire someone to do the cleaning up for them. Sometimes when a person has to pay for a service, they will do something as simple as this themselves.
GOOL LUCK WITH THIS!!!!!!
