Joe in Berkeley doesn’t know who this note was intended for, but it showed up on his porch sometime after Thanksgiving dinner.
![Mr. Cranky - While I understand that dog[s] shit on your lawn frequently...don't EVER come at me, my girlfriend, or Dog in such an ignorant, aggressive and childish fashion. You are not the dog-shit sheriff of Berkeley. If you ever speak to me in that manner again I will be sure to send a pack of Huskies who've recently eaten pounds of broccoli and chill to shit all over your lawn. If you see me again on the street an apology might make you feel like a BIG responsible boy. Otherwise, don't speak to me, Brroo, Your Neighbor](http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6052/6402484737_36ff9de11f_b.jpg "Mr. Cranky - While I understand that dog[s] shit on your lawn frequently...don't EVER come at me, my girlfriend, or Dog in such an ignorant, aggressive and childish fashion.

That’s a real threat there – a pack of Huskies that have eaten chili and broccoli? Good Lord….

I really thought that this was going to come to an”or I’ll kick your ass” ending.

I wonder if those were indoor or outdoor dogs?

Brroo? Even Google doesn’t know what that is! And it sounds like someone might have a legit complaint if you are feeding your dog broccoli and chili. Why? Because you know it causes terrible… um… dumping problems and that knowledge can only be obtained one way. Oh, and if it’s his yard, it’s his castle. So he might not be the sheriff, but he is the king. Just be grateful he didn’t have you drawn and quartered.

I hate Dog Shit Sheriffs. I used to live in Astoria, Queens and got that shit all the time. I’d be walking my dog, by the CURB not on people’s lawns and old ladies and men would yell at me from their windows or come running out. It was virtually always old people. I get that there are irresponsible people out there, I see the dog shit on the ground too but don’t yell at me, I’m curbing my dog and I ALWAYS pick it up.

What with software tycoons and all, I thought the Univ. of Washington athletic department alumni contributions were doing well.
Now varsity squads have to hire out as transport muscle (muscularis externa) to safeguard vigilante victims as far South as the SF Bay Area ?
Well, at least when the inevitable topical Law & Order episode dealing with these incidents shows up on your tube, the detectives recycling the
phrase “dump job” will be re-purposing it too.

Baroo?
The “brroo” or “baroo” only makes sense if you replace “Dog” with “Human”.

I think what happened here is the notes got mixed up. This note-receiver’s wife had yelled at him for picking her flowers and was meant to receive a similarly crafted note threatening to send cats with pruning sheers over. I think everyone who writes all their threatening notes on the same day of the week has run into this problem at least once. Amiright or amiright?

The really petty part of me thinks this guy needs my toddler’s potty emptied on his lawn. Not that I would ever do such a thing, but I would really want to.

Does the note writer have split personalities? It looks like the note is in at least 2 different handwritings.

Yeah, next time you scold me for letting my dog crap on your lawn you’re going to feel my wrath.
This time you’ll feel the force of my angry letter.
“Don’t make me angry, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.” only works if you’ve been exposed to gamma rays.

No evidence the note writer lets his dog shit everywhere. He may have been wrongfully accused by the sheriff.
That being said, his response in the way of that letter is shitty. He should have had the balls to settle his beef with the neighbour face to face, man to man. To write such a letter does not seem manly to me.
What a tit.

What a big tough guy, writing a strongly-worded letter in defense of his imaginary girlfriend, all because he’s too lazy to take five seconds and pick up his own dog’s crap.

I hope Joe finds this guy and lets him know that his aggression is misplaced. I’d hate to have the broccoli/chili poop lawn when it wasn’t even my fault.

If I see your dog pooping in my yard again, throwing the crap at you may might make me feel like a Big Responsible Boy.

Well, it takes a strong person who can be confronted, go home and then pen such a letter. Where were the balls to say any of this DURING the initial confrontation? And then leaving the note, rather than knocking on the door? Broo indeed, tough guy.

Clearly the dog to go on the chilli and broccoli binge would be a Saint Bernard, ever see how fast they eat? How much bigger than a baggie one would need to pick that load up? Think coal shovel and appliance plastic. Or perhaps a Great Pyrenees….6 coal shovels to one, 6 coal shovels worth to the other.
(p.s. I grew up with St. B’s, I speak the trooth (sic) brroooo)

I think the note writer is guilty of not picking up his dog’s poop, because he doesn’t *deny* doing anything wrong in his note.

BBQ sauce mixed with Xylitol-sweetened syrup poured on the craps will take care of the problem.
