I was taking Keegan out for a walk a bit ago and as I was crossing a busy street, there was a car full of little old ladies stopped at the stop sign and the driver rolled down her window and was saying "oh my what a gorgeous, precious doggie" "what is her name" "she is so precious" "she is so gorgeous". Keegan wagged at them and gave them her Golden smile and I said Thank you. Then I went on about 10 yards and the lady in the house on the corner came FLYING out of her house with her arms crossed - scowling and yelling "don't let your dog poop in my yard" I just looked at her with my mouth open and all I said was "I wasn't going to" and she stood and scowled at me the whole way down her yard, so I didn't even let Keegan sniff I pulled her all the way by this woman's property. I seriously wasn't going to let Keegan poop in her yard. I know what she thinks, we have some people in the neighborhood that let their dogs run loose or get loose, and they poop in people's yards and they have probably pooped in her yard and she thinks it is anyone who might be walking by with a dog. Heck yesterday I was leaving to go out to supper and there was a strange dog in my yard sniffing around. Then yesterday morning, Keegan was sniffing a pile of poop and I know it wasn't her's, b/c it was in a spot she rarely goes in.
I guess it would be just as rude to let your dog poop in her yard but sheesh. I try to take a bag with me on her walks - we don't walk often, I usually just hit the ball to her, but its been so nice I wanted to walk. I guess I just won't go by this lady's house again!
