I have a weekly visitor who loves my front yard. Sure, the grass is green and lush. It's quite the expanse of yard. It's on the corner, one of the bigger lots in the neighborhood.
But it is not a toilet.
Apparently this dog doesn't know that. And apparently the dog's owner doesn't respect big, green lawns like we do.
Well, my kids don't like playing in a minefield. My dog doesn't like smelling other dogs' shit. (Actually, he probably does, so you can nix that as a persuasion tactic). I don't like cleaning up after other people.
I have two kids of my own, dammit. I have cleaned up my own share of poop.
Plus, I'm a life coach for moms. On my website, MakeYourPerfect.com, I'm all about helping women have LESS on their to-do list. And scooping some other dog's massive poop is not something I want on mine.
So my family and I created a persuasive sign.
The kids crack up when cars pass it, back up, and take pics. Let's hope it works.

My kids really liked it. Probably because it gave them free rein to say "shit."
They thought it was hilarious.
And they wanted to demonstrate what the sign meant. In case it was unclear.
