After a wonderful day trip to Lincoln (Lincoln was OK, the company was wonderful) I got back home and unloaded my spoils. There was shit all over the hardstanding. Suspecting the neighbour-but-one’s Jack Russell Terrier, I asked my neighbour if she’d seen the dog out and about that day. She said no but that it had been in her garden as there was poop all over her lawn, patio furniture, and even on her windscreen.
Well, I knocked at the nneighbour’s door, got no answer, went indoors to write them a letter, then went to his neighbour on the far side to see whether he’d had any trouble (he hadn’t) had a good old chinwag about the state of the neighborhood (pretty good actually, but blighted by shared driveways and unclear rights of access), knocked again at the nneighbour’s, and went home and cooked dinner.
Thinking about it today, how did the JRT get on the bonnet of my neighbour’s car?
So now we’re hypothesizing that the nneighbour asked his kid to clear the poop from their back garden, and the kid decided “out of sight, out of mind” and slung it over the fence.
At least that’s given me an inroad into discussing the matter with him…

I reckon you’re right with your hypothesis. How much shit can a JRT produce on one outing anyway?
Well, they have a Spaniel and a JRT and a cat. The Spaniel is generally anxious and terrified of everything. We figured it was the JRT cos it was small enough to get through the get into the patio-furniture victim’s garden. But with the new Spade-Induced-Aerial-Trajectory-Hypothesis, the poop could have been the sum of all three beasties’ movements. There were about 8 bits on my patch.
Shjt happens. Try having kjds. :-)
They’re all b*stards
