I'm setting my alarm...

I posted a comment in the 'unhappy' thread earlier about dogs pooping in my new, little garden.

I am a late bloomer in a lot of areas, only just recently have I discovered a love of gardening. And when I start loving something, I'm all in. So, I had this spot in my yard that went neglected for years. The whole yard was neglected for years. But very slowly, we got the trees removed. After 6 years the lawn has finally filled in and it's really starting to look pretty. When work begins to pay off, I think it's only natural to take more of an interest. I'm ADHD as well as Asperger's, so there's very little in between with me. I either don't care, or I can think of nothing else.

So, this past Spring I cleaned out this spot and decided to try my hand at planting some Azaleas, there were a few plants already there, that somehow survived from whomever had lived here before. I made a little space and it's really begun to take shape. It looks so pretty and I'm proud of my yard for maybe the first time ever.

I have no proof, but I suspect my neighbor of either deliberately allowing his dogs to poop in my pretty spot. Or worse, deliberately tossing the dog turds into my spot. They have two dogs and have had to put up a chain link fence that encloses a portion of their driveway. Every morning I hear a shovel scraping against pavement, my husband told me to wait to be sure before accusing anyone. Yesterday, I put down pine bark chips. And sure enough, a giant turd! It's not a turd that just drops straight down out of a dog's rear end. This is slung, like the islands of Hawaii and flattened out! It's always in the same spot, just beyond the point of our shared privacy fence.

Today, I go to spread more Pine Bark and what do I find!? Turds, strung out over my brand new Pine Bark that I spread the night before! So, I get a spade and fling it out of my garden. I'm livid! These a**holes can see that I'm busting my tail, trying to make my yard pretty. I fly down to the garden center and buy a little garden fence, 28 inches high and set to work. It's up.

I am setting my alarm for 4:30am and I already have my chair set up. I'm going to sit out there and find out who is behind this. If I find out that what I think is happening, is happening, the s**t is going to fly. If y'all don't hear from me for a few days, I'm in jail.

THRILLING! EXCITING! THIS SUMMER'S ACTION SPECTACLE.

Or,

S--T GOES DOWN.

Sorry but I couldn't resist picturing a movie poster of your exploits. I hope you catch this poop-slinging human baboon.

I'm waiting for an update here! Persephone, did you catch the guy?

We need answers!!

Give us the straight poop! (Pun intended!)

I remember long ago when I was in the front yard gardening with my mom. I planted my hand square in cat poop. Gross, but kind of funny, too.

As long as there's a sink nearby, it's cool......just wash it off!
