SD1492 "-make copies and plaster them on every telephone poll in the neighborhood with the owners name and home number stating they lost their dog and they will get a lot of calls and piss them off for letting their phone ring off the hook."
I would love to do this, particularly because she indicated that it was my fault cause I had a female dog.
I will take the advice of at least telling her that the next time I see him running loose that I will call the pound. I'm sure the only neighbor who will be upset is them.
Thank you all for the support. I really hate to do it...

Well I wouldn't go so far as to shoot the neighbor, but I would take the dog in. Seems to like your home better any way, why not keep him.

Hey, it worked for me. My ex neighbor's boxers would come over and poop in my yard all the time. One day while we were talking I looked over and from about 3 feet away I said, "Your dog just left me a present". She scolded the dog but didn't move a muscle to clean up after it. After she went in the house I realized she was never gonna pick it up so I got the poopy scoopy and chucked it back into her yard. It never cured the dogs from crapping in my yard, but she never said anything about me flinging the poopy back into hers.julz20684 said:

I'd aim for cars, windows, doors...If dog is free roaming, he can be spreading disease..dog crap has worms in it that your dog can get.
Also how do you know dog is up to date on shots and heartworm treeatment?
One bite from dog and someone can get hurt or sick.
For safety of neighorhood (no idea your county) call Animal Control.
Keep calling until they pick up dog and they will talk to neighbor.
A free roaming dog is an unsafe dog.
Your dog spayed?

I don't know what county you're in, but I'd send them a certified letter with a copy of the county code that sets out remedies for animals at large. In the letter, I'd inform them that you intend to call the animal control authorities if you find their dog running lose in the neighborhood. (I'd bet it is unlicensed as well, given that they don't seem to care for it). I'd also set out that your previous verbal requests for them to control their dog have gone unheeded, thus your need to send the letter. I'd keep a copy of the letter for your records that you can show the animal control people when you call them. This gives your neighbors clear notice that you will no longer tolerate their behavior and a -last- chance for them to modify their behavior before you call animal control.

D.All dogs and cats seized and impounded shall be held for the owner for a period of 72 hours, unless determined by the Animal Control Officer that it is unsafe for the animal to be held.

I wouldn't really have pepper sprayed him, I know it's not his fault 
All my pets are fixed. I have thought about taking my dog down to their yard and letting her deposit gifts to them, but then I'd be tresspassing, also wouldn't solve anything, just make me feel better....
