Ever since our rear neighbor cleared his back lot of 95% of the trees, which is now wide open, his dog, as well as several others have uninhibited access to our back yard and lawn. So far they've not fussed with or bothered with the chickens but what's happening is they're pissing and shitting in our lawn, UGH!! Franklin has a leash law, however, like most things these day the law clearly doesn't apply to them, GRRR!
Our dog is a Chihuahua dog, so all things considered relatively small poop but NOT so much with the neighbors dog! Sweet Baby Jesus, I'd swear a cow had been through and dropped a cow patty, that BIG! Although, I've not yet stepped in, I have squashed a patty or two with the ride mower tires, which is disgusting! It's just so hard to spot with all the leaves.
So there's that issue AND the fact that the piss is killing the grass. The first picture below shows just two of the 5 dead grass spot!
I decided to take the high road, at least for now, and not call the animal control officer...yet. Instead I had a couple rolls of 5' tall wire (thank you Randy and Deb) that I strung almost half way across the back property line. Of course this will not prevent them from being able to get over if they want but it does prevent them from ambling over like they used to.
We'll see how this works. If the problem persists, fuck the neighbors, I'm calling animal control!
