Dogs Stay Home!

By Anonymous (not verified), 16 March, 2026
Dogs Stay Home! I want my neighbors to stop bringing their dogs to my house. Sometimes the dogs leave a mess, and I have to clean up after them. They also step in my garden and smoosh my plants and flowers. I’m hoping all the neighbors will cooperate. I like the dogs, but they should stay out of my yard.
