To the neighbor who left my dog’s p**p on my doorstep…
I’m honestly still upset about what happened this morning. I woke up to find a pile of my dog’s waste sitting right on my welcome mat. What makes it even more frustrating is that my porch camera clearly shows you picking it up from your yard, carrying it onto my property, and intentionally leaving it at my front door.
I understand that finding dog p**p in your yard is annoying. I really do. But there’s a mature way to handle a neighborhood problem, and leaving the waste on someone’s doorstep is not it. You could have simply knocked on my door or spoken to me about it.
I always try to clean up after my dog, but sometimes accidents happen. Dogs go outside, they sniff around, and they do their business. That’s part of having a dog in the neighborhood.
What happened today felt unnecessary, disrespectful, and honestly pretty hostile. If you have an issue with my dog, talk to me directly. Don’t come onto my property and leave something disgusting at my front door.
So I’m asking you clearly: please do not come onto my property again to leave anything or retaliate in this way. I have the video footage, and if it happens again, I will have no choice but to contact the police.
We’re neighbors. There are better ways to handle disagreements than this.
Please just stop.
