Attention all dog owners! If you walk your dog in Brookhaven, please be a good neighbor and keep your dog out of your neighbor’s yard and pick up after your dog. When dogs do their business, it is the owner’s duty to clean up. Edmond also has a leash law for dogs.

Please don’t use your neighbor’s trash to dispose of your dog’s droppings. That is considered “theft of services”, so take it home. It can also stink up someone’s garage.

Believe it or not, I have better things to do than to write about dog poop, so try to be a good neighbor.

The Webmaster.
