Are you an animal lover? Some of us are not. Be kind. Walk your dog on a lease, and do not curb your dog in the neighbor's yard. Cats? What can I say?
You love your pets, others may not share your passion, so clean up behind your pet(s) and keep them in your yard.

Have the same problem with people walking their dogs on Astoria Blvd.  One house down the street I have called in about 4 times now with their 3 dogs running loose and doing their thing on the neighbors lawns.
