To the editor:

Lawrence is a great place to live. I just moved into a great neighborhood. The people seem nice, but it seems that everyone that has dogs allows their dog to “get rid of waste” in my yard as well as my neighbor’s yard without cleaning up afterwards.

I don’t understand how people can be so rude. My children cannot even run out in the yard to get in the car without the fear of getting dog feces on their shoes. I just think it is rude and inconsiderate for people to allow their dog to poop in someone else’s yard. Why not let them poop in their own yard? Because then they will have to clean it up like I have to do every day when I get home. I can’t believe the rudeness of some people. I guess since there is no law against it, people will do it.
