Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday! I wanted to give you all an update regarding my neighbors & the dog crap situation that I blogged about last week.

After getting FIRMER with our verbal language to them regarding the dogs coming over and crapping in our yard daily, they are making more of an effort to keep the dogs in their own yard. We caught the dogs over here a few times and chased them back & we have seen/heard them yelling at the dogs to stay in the yard. It has gotten somewhat better…but not good enough. We are going to keep the pressure up (on them) to keep their dogs in their own dang yard!

We had a giveaway close late last night so we do have a winner to announce this morning. As always, we spend time every morning validating entries, trashing out the cheater entries and then randomly select a winner using random.org. We then double check that persons entry to make sure it’s legit and then finalize it.

Winner for the Best Mini Pies Cookbook is…Heather S.

Congrats Heather! I will be emailing you shortly, so that you can claim your prize. I am really loving that cookbook and I think you will love it too! Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Good morning everyone! How are all of you this morning? Before I get to the winner’s announcement…I have a neighbors problem and need some advice!!!

We moved into our house back on Jan. 4th and before we even moved in we talked to our neighbors about their 3 big labs (dogs) coming over and crapping in our yard. We don’t have dogs and felt that their dogs should stay in their yard and do their business over there. Well….their dogs are still making daily (sometimes twice daily) trips into our yard and taking their craps!

Since we have moved in here…we have talked to them at least 10 times about the dogs crapping in our yard and have been FIRM about them not letting their dogs over here to do that. On Saturday we walked around our yard and documented over 60+ piles of dog crap and I took photos of 5 piles of it for documentation. Hubby then mowed the grass and our lawn looked nice again.

Well…since Sunday…they dogs have been over numerous times and have taken their craps in our yard. As of last night, 14 new piles of dog crap are in our back yard! OH MY GOSH….I am freaking furious about this!!!

We have talked to them repeatedly about it and get excuses each and every time. This is so dang disrespectful and we have avoided calling the police as we didn’t want to cause hard feelings & neighbor problems but now…we are FED UP!

Do any of you have any suggestions for us on how to get this issue to stop? How can we get them to take this problem seriously?

Anyway, We had a few new giveaways end late last night so we do have new winners to announce this morning. We used Random.org to select the winner once we verified all entries into the giveaway. We will email the winner and they will have 48 hours to respond to that email to claim their prize. Once 48 hours have passed, we reserve the right to select a new winner.

The 2 winners for the Soft Scrub Giveaway are: Anne B. and Dawn K.

The 3 winners for the MensGroom Shaving Products are: Karen B., Allison B., and Ashley S.

Congrats to our winners! Emails will be sent shortly so that you can claim your prizes. Thanks for any advice you can give and have a great Thursday!
