As if my family hasn't been through enough...my mom calls me upset. She was walking my 8lb yorkie and the dog was peeing and the next door neighbor came out and started yelling at my mother telling her, she doesn't want my dog on her grass anymore, and why doesn't my mother pick up after her and she was going to report her because she's supposed to be on a leash. She made it seem like the dog was on her lawn...well no..she peed and has peed plenty of times on a strip of grass that is 2ft wide...near the CURB!!!!
Ok little history here girls... 1st - We have lived on what is now coming to be a 'racist' block for over a year already and this SAME woman has pet my dog a MILLION and one times...and even knows her name!!! The reason I say racist is because just last week someone from put a sign up saying 'please pick up after your dog..this is not the SOUTH BRONX!!!'. I live in a predominantly mixed area of Throggs Neck..alot of white, black and spanish people and ALL of the sudden this 'sign' went up...it's just unreal!! For those of you unfamiliar with the South Bronx...it tends to be known as a 'low class' area to others..when it mainly ranges from low to middle class families who just HAPPEN to be of the minority race...including white people as well!
2nd - we ALWAYS picks up after our dog. And I mean ALWAYS!!! Mind you there is a boy who walks a dog on a leash w/out picking up after it..and NOTHING was told to him.
3rd- while she should be on a leash...we have walked her this way for over a year...and have NEVER had any problems. It's not like she's a rottweiler or pitbull.
All of this is stemming from what took place last week...just as I figured. People are looking at us like we are such bad people...I can't believe that people can be so effin petty. My mom was SO upset...what the hell is wrong w/people???/
Just to be clear....I am NO racist..but I am SO tired of the stereotyping and comments from certain people....and tired of this b.s already...how much more can we possibly take? it's just one thing after another..and this is SO unimportant. I can't even believe that people would feel the need to call the police for something SO petty..when there is/are REAL crimes happening out there.
I'm going to let FH handle this..because I've just about had it w/this damn block!!!

Thats terrible what happened to you!!! People are SO rude!!
I wish I could walk my dog without a lease and have him follow me..but his nose is too curious and he might just wonder off and never come back! hehe...
He he!! My dog is such a punk...she stays 1 step in front of me.

IT WASN'T EVEN HIS DOODY!!
'It wasn't even his doody.' I've been there and I need a T-shirt saying that!
Everyone in my neighborhood knows me and my dachshund. I use a very short lease with an attached poop bag dispenser. We have one neighbor who has asked me not to walk my dog past her house--whether he poops or not. Are you kidding? Her dog sees mine walking past the house and goes crazy. The only time my dog ever pooped by her house it was on the 2 ft strip THAT IS OWNED BY THE TOWN, NOT BY HER and I picked it up. She proceeds to show me another poop in the middle of her lawn. It was a mountain that was obviously not done by a dachshund! As stated above, it was not even his doody!!!!! And one time her kid said something to me when I walked by.
Some people are very territorial. It sounds like your neighbor is one of them. She wants to control exactly who moves into her neighborhood and where they, and their ancestors came from.
