[nagdu] Question about disgusting dog behavior and how to stopit

[solsticesinger]

I did explain the problem. They seemed sort of mystified. I asked them if 
they were concerned about health risks to their own dogs of the fecal matter 
lying around, and they just basically shrugged it off.

Tomorrow is the usual day of clean-up, so I'll let her free-run after they 
leave.
