When I was walking down our street the other day, I noticed the sign that my neighbors had posted next to their driveway . . . Dogs welcomed, people tolerated. Their sign made me feel bad about the sign I had posted . . . Pick up your dog’s poop. This is my front yard.

It also got me thinking about the fact that some people like dogs better than other people. We could psychoanalyze that situation, but since my mother-in-law is one of those people who likes dogs better, we won’t go there.
