I've never written that column, because I've never had that thought, because my lawn is a piebald nightmare and a few dozen spots of dog pee would never be noticed. Memory is faulty. If you find it, I'll stand corrected. But I looked and found nothing.

Now you see, as a dogowner, you can't only keep dogs just on their own grass, they must walk. I thought you were a bit fussy and said if that were me I'd say okay, but I recognize you and like your columns. Now those who leave poop on lawn piss me off. I even bought one of those signs from the pet store about curbing their dog.

Essential, I should think, in your line of work. All the same, you may enjoy a word of consolation the playwright ("The Country Wife") William Wycherley received from his young friend Alexander Pope after trying his hand at poetry and having his efforts savaged in the press. "Sir," Pope wrote, "just as no beggar is too poor to keep a cur no author is too fine to have a critic."<br /><br />Tom EvansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-5683934048998383582015-04-09T08:19:41.624-05:002015-04-09T08:19:41.624-05:00Agreed.
