Ok…this has gone way too far!

I have noticed dog poop on my driveway a couple times now and I have carefully avoided it and kept my swearing at under breath level but I am so livid right now I will curse sombory out in my egba dialect! I mean WTF? As if my daily frustrations are not enough for me to deal with, I now need to add dog crap to the lengthy list!
I woke up early Saturday morning to take Oyin to work, I was planning on coming back home and catching a couple hours more sleep. As I opened my car door I noticed a smeared pile of dog shit! Smeared meaning that somebody had stepped in it! I look down at my feet and it totally explained the foul smell on my 30-minute journey. I had stepped in a pile of shit! What bothers me is the fact that it was inches away from the grass! And it was in the same exact spot it had been the other three times I had seen it! Only at those times I was careful not to step in it.
Fortunately I saw a lady walking her dog and I asked if she had seen the culprit (she was definitely a suspect)
“I don’t mean to rat but look over there at the first house on that street there is an older gentleman with a small white dog, that is the person you are looking for but don’t say I told you” I thanked her for the info and I marched to dudes door. To my annoyance he did not open the door. I needed to vent (note to self: take anger management classes). I went home and composed this friendly note;

‘Dear Neighbor,
I have been advised that your dog prefers my driveway for his toilet. I am offended that you do not feel obligated to pick up after him; I am even more offended that this is becoming a daily routine. I understand that you must walk you dog but I would appreciate it if you re-route your walks so as to exclude my assigned space and if it absolutely must then I suggest you pick up his droppings behind him. If this continues I will be forced to bring my 5-year-old daughter, who is my pet, to crap at your front door.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Your friendly neighbor from 4613,
Bola’

I saw the old fart earlier this morning and he glared at me, I smiled in return, I doubt he or his ill mannered stray with be walking in my path in the near future!
