Crazy story- Sorry I am long winded but I cannot get it off my mind. Last night on my way to bed while carrying my 3y/o I noticed a lady and her young daughter walking a yellow lab- which I love so I was admiring the dog for a moment- then the dog decides to download on my front yard- a lot- well, I do not have a dog for this is one reason. I would rather clean my cats litter box!! Well, she watches the dog do this then walks on by. I live in the city in a nice neighborhood where you would think people would pick up after their dogs!! Anyway, out of anger, I knocked on the window- I was thinking it wasn't that loud but evidently she heard me and kept on walking. She never turned around. So I explained to my 6y/o why I was upset- because her brother always ends up stepping in it- and always while he is barefoot playing in the sprinkler. So my kids and I got in my bed to watch tv for a while and I was on the phone. we heard a knock at the door- I peeked out the window (mind you this is about 15 minutes later) and it was her!!! So, I didn't answer it- it was more important for me to be talking to my grandmother on the phone than listen to the dog do lady. And ten minutes later the phone rings- so I answer and hear this in a stern voice "Is this Jessica" yes, I say hesitantly, "this is carol from down the street(she knew my name!), and I just wanted to let you know that I heard you knocking on the window when my dog pooped- I forgot my bags and I wanted to let you know that I did come back and pick it up" I think I was in shock!! I told her thank you and that I apprecitated it due to the kid thing.. anyway, she would have never come back to pick that up if I wouldn't have knocked on the window!! So we hung up and she called me back 10 minutes later and asked if our kids could ride to school together- it freaked me out b/c she knew who I was and I had no idea who she was she knew my kids!! Come to find out she goes to my church and her son and my daughter go to the same school- just weird- so I feel like a total heel but at the same time I don't want to be the lady that tolerates other dogs' do- I find it all the time in my flower garden- so I guess I just want to know if that was totally rude or isn't it just an understanding that you clean up after your dog???
