Dog waste is more than a pet peeve

I pick up after my dog. I also pick up after the other two dogs that live in my house. Twice a week I go through my yard and clean waste. I get angry at my inconsiderate neighbors who not only allow their dogs to run loose, but let them poop in my yard and don't pick it up. It angers me that people can be so irresponsible. I clean up after Buzz when we walk or go anywhere outside my yard.
So this column, in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune really caught my eye. I had never even though about the runoff from rain and the environmental impact this could have. So now I will be even more vigilant in keeping the yard clean. Can I drop off a copy of this to my neighbors or do you think it will start a neighborhood war?
