PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Readers Sound O on Dogs’ Front Yard “Gi s”

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have so many thoughts a er reading the letter from the woman with the shared driveway whose neighbor leaves her dog’s poop on her side.

I’m of the opinion that life would be more enjoyable if people learned to meet others where they are. e dog owner clearly doesn’t want to pick up her dog’s poop, and I don’t think checking with an HOA or municipal ordinance will change that. Maybe she has mobility issues. e writer says she and her neighbor “get along ne,” and there’s a LOT to be said for that. If I were her, I would simply buy poop bags and clean up a er the dog. If the neighbor sees her and says something, I would say: “I’ve asked that you pick up a er your dog, but I don’t want that to become a big issue between us because we get along so well. Your friendship means more to me than my taking a few minutes to clean up the driveway.” -- Susan W., via email another reader shares their advice:

I have had this issue several times in the past. I have successfully resolved this issue every time it has come up.

I used a new tool to solve it -- the power of social media. My solution was simple: When I observed an individual allowing their canine to defecate on my property, I announced loudly from my front door that if they did not clean it up, I would locate their property and defecate on theirs as well. I made the same announcement on the neighborhood’s Facebook page.

Aside from the occasional beer can thrown out of a vehicle full of teenagers, we have been at peace.

-- Zack in Murieta North

NOW HERE’S A TIP! By

Joann Derson

• Store kitchen matches wrapped in tin foil to keep them dry when on camping or shing trips. You can also store them in an empty pill bottle if they are the short kind. If you ll paper egg carton cups with dryer lint and drizzle it with wax, you can cut the cups apart and you’ll have small restarters for your camp res. My family does a lot of camping in the summer, and we use these every time. K.R. in Missouri

• To get scorched pan bottoms clean, scrub with sudsy ammonia and rinse well.

• Baby food jars make wonderful organizer containers; most people know that. But you can make a great rst cup from a baby food jar. Screw on the lid tightly and poke holes along one side. Baby can tip and sip, but not much will come out. ey are just the right size for small hands. M.W. in Alabama

• Baby oil can loosen soap scum from shower doors. Apply and bu lightly with a so washcloth. Follow with a shampoo cleaning or just leave as is. It will repel water and smells nice, too.

• To keep shirt collars from absorbing oil and grime, sprinkle with talcum powder while ironing.
