Well, I thought I'd weigh in on this one. I do a lot of traveling and showing with my dogs, and it's getting harder and harder to find places that accept dogs because of people not cleaning up after them. We are seeing more and more cities enacting anti-dog legislation and when I recently was buying a home, I found it really hard to find a development that allowed more than 2 pets (not just dogs) and/or have strict requirements about building fences. So I am a big believer that if you have a pet, you must do everything you can to see that they are good citizens and not a nuisance, or it's just going to keep getting harder on all of us to enjoy our animals. That means not allowing them to bark and disturb people for extended amounts of time, keeping them confined to your yard, not allowing them to scare people walking by, etc. And certainly cleaning up after them. I'm not excusing your neighbor's behavior in any way. But just because your dog is sick and/or let his business somewhere it might not be seen doesn't mean it can't be *smelt* from above. If it's not possible to scoop it up, you should use some paper towels, and a liberal amount of water to wash it away as best you can. Obviously what he did was visible and noticeable enough for the neighbors to complain so it should not have been left. Sorry, but that's how I feel.
