I am dumbfounded.

Yesterday I was out walking the dog and I came to a more stone than gravel area that had a small rock placed there. Written on the rock "dear dog, please do not water the weeds" ? Honestly are people that petty, it was not even a nice tended area, small stones and yes, there were weeds. Other gardens feature the dog in the poo position that says no, what am I to do pull him away?
No wonder I love my dog, I do not understand people any more, they are becoming very mean.

You should worry. Back in the day of my youth, it would be: pay day, that meant night out. Not many of us could afford a car so it was public transport. The last bus to every destination was packed with drunken revellers. If your home was near one of the bus stops on the route home, let me tell you that, there was no need to water your plants the next day!
 
Robin: I don't know where in BC you live, but in Vancouver BC, dog owners/dog walkers are required to "pick up" after their dogs in the public areas (ie sidewalks/parks/dog parks). Most dog owners are considerate - I seldom see dog "excretion" on our walks.

Obviously, the message is from someone who is NOT A DOG LOVER!!

I'm on the island and yes we are also required to pick up after our dogs but many do not. Even in the dog park I am astonished at how much waste? I see left on the ground. I will approach someone if I see them not picking up in the park, there is no need for that. Being a dog owner means picking up after your dog, some people have still not got the message.

Well you can't pick up a wee, and no one should expect you to hold a cup between your dog's legs, so that's a sign to ignore. Plus, it wasn't on private property, right?

Dog pee wouldn't bother me. Poop not picked up would of coarse. Not everyone is conscientious. People throw trash, hate it so much. I've even picked up trash. My work place is almost beyond hope.

It actually was private property but there is no fence and the driveway is a mess.
 
Sorry, but I'm of the opinion that people should not be required to allow someone else's pet to eliminate on their property. It doesn't have anything to do with them being "mean". It doesn't matter that their property is well maintained or not. The point is that it IS their property. And being critical of them for not appreciating these "donations" is just wrong.

It has nothing to do with being a dog lover or not; it has to do with how they would like their own property to be treated. And, frankly, dog urine does not smell good. Why should they have to put up with it?

And if it does smell good, the dog needs to see a Vet.

A neighbor's dog once pooped on my front lawn. She did not pick up after her dog. I did. Put the poop on her doorstep, directly on her welcome mat.

After a snowstorm, this neighbor cleaned off her car, blocking me in. Air head.
 
While I was waiting for the property owner to decide which way he was going to drive off his property, yes he had several egress points, my dog decided to take a dump in the weedy ditch in front of his property. He yelled at me for letting my dog do that. I didn't let him. I was watching what dum-dum was going to do. By the time I looked, my dog was squatting down and going to town. I didn't have a poo bag because we live out in the country and I avoid stupid people's property usually. I thought the guy was being a jerk, but I found a bag along the road and on the way back, tried to find the poo in the weeds. I couldn't find it but noticed his dog's poo all up and down that side of the road. So what the heck? His dog's poo is better than my dog's or what? Now he throws an empty beer can in front of my fence once a week. I think it's illegal to drink and drive but I don't mind picking it up and putting it in the trash. This is the kind of idiotic stuff I've dealt with as long as I've lived here.
