Our neighborhood has a huge pet problem! We have dogs and cats running all over the place. Our next door neighbor has one of them. They have a mutt named Shelby and I swear, she is never inside! She always comes over and does her “thing” on our lawn, and other people’s as well. We’ve talked to them about their dog and asked them to keep her off our lawn but it never happens.

I think that people should pay more attention to their pets and what they are doing and not let them run around all the time, I mean, you wouldn’t do that with your kids would you? If you can’t be responsible enough to keep your own animals in your own yard maybe you should consider giving it to someone who would. I know accidents happen and the door or the gate is left open and an animal escapes, I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about the animals that practically live on our lawn.

Be a responsible pet owner and put your dog on a leash when it’s not in your yard, and if she must be outside put her on a chain!
