Dear lady who walks her dog while she smokes,  
 
Please pick up your dogs poop when he relieves himself. It seems all week he''s had to go right on my lawn. Today I watched you let him poop on my yard and you kept on smoking, then walked away. Surely you are not oblivious. I don''t feel like I should have to come out and say something to you given the fact that you are a grown woman, but the next time this happens please know I will.  
Thank you.

When we lived in the city we would never dream of not cleaning up after our dog, and it disgusts me to see other owners not doing the same.

Yeah I really don't get it. As a dog owner myself I always have extra bags with me. I would feel so embarrassed if I walked away not picking up a mess left by my dog.  
Some people simply have no respect for others. I would confront that lady quietly but firmly and hand her a bag.

Our neighbours do it everyday, they have a perfectly good yard, but let her use ours. They know full well it's wrong, whenever we come outside, they hastily call her over, and wait until we are sleeping, they don't care. I have no idea why people can be lazy like this!

bag the poop and put in on her front step, or her mailbox, she'll soon get the message!!

If you have a dog be responsible enough not to let them crap in somebody's else property. You don't even have to buy the poop bags, they are available throughout the city. If the roles were reversed these irresponsible pet owners would not be happy with other dogs crapping in their yard.

People are asses and that's the world right now,so just walk out when the dogs their and use ur cell to record the whole thing tell them I will do this every time. If they don't stop give the footage to the police there's by laws in place.

next time instead of being a nimble scared person peaking out of your window watching the defacation act - walk out there with a plastic baggie and TELL that person that you do not need that "Donation" and it is her responsiblity to take care of it. Stop hiding, and go out there -

This is the reason that I agree with the few from the discussion a few days back. Please don't walk your dog on my lawn.. I don't have one, I don't want one. If I wanted a dog pooping on my lawn I would get my own. Please people be respectful, pick up your dog's sh*t and keep them on the boulevard.  
 
Also please enlighten me as to what smoking has to do with not picking up the dog poop?

most people mind their manners too much... it comes down to getting fed up with people's behaviour. when we have had enough idiocy then we speak up!  
 
by all means offer the lady a bag for poop disposal.

Perhaps smoking was mentioned to identify the individual or to suggest she didn't have a free hand to pick up the "deposit".  
 
Still no excuse for not picking up after the dog though.

so it won't let me edit my own post. So it is pretty clear - there are bylaws.  
 
Take a picture, phone / message by-law enforcement, print this off and hand it to the offender. Nothing will happen if you just come here to complain about it.

start with the most obvious thing to do .  
Go outside and have a talk like normal people .  
 
If that doesn't work then go with the more drastic options that have been stated above .

I have to agree with SummerBaby. Unless this person reads everything on eBrandon, how is she going to be "outed", unless you speak to her.
