Headline:

A Couple of Pups Keep Leaving a Nasty Surprise. One Clever Mailman Decides to Take His Revenge on the Poop-pretuators.

Summary:

Residents of a town in Colorado have had it. They have been fighting a smelly, obnoxious battle with pet owners. As people walk their dogs, they have let their pets poop next to the mailboxes along the street. One poor postman is forced to dodge smelly piles as he tries to deliver the mail. For the residents and the postman, the situation has become unbearable.

Introduction:

In a small town, little problems can quickly spiral out of control. For neighbors like Toni Hazlip, dog poop has become the bane of her existence. Each day, pet owners walk their dogs next to the mailboxes on

Finally, some of the residents gave up and started to clean the dog poop on their own. Even with the clean up efforts, checking the mail has remained a smelly experience. Every time the neighbors go to get the mail, the entire street smells like dog poop. New piles are constantly discovered by accidentally stepping in the excrement. As the least observant residents, the children have fallen in dog poop on more than one …show more content…
The generous mailman decided that his winnings would be put to good use. Instead of going on a vacation, he paid for a dog-friendly park to be built in the neighborhood. It would have special doggie toilers as well as pathways for pet owners to walk. Instead of wandering along the streets, pet owners would have a comfortable park to wander around.

One of the things Mark loved about being a mailman was seeing the surprise on someone's face as they received a package. He loved when children ran out to meet him and check the mail. He did not need a vacation to be fulfilled. Now that the poop problem was solved, Mark could return to being a mailman again. He decided to keep his job and continue beautifying his neighborhood. As a gesture of gratitude, the neighborhood decided to name the dog park after Mark.

Conclusion:

Mark was certainly a big winner, but he was not the only person to win. More than 1,531 players have won since the promotion started a month ago. Since the casino has already paid out more than $2,191,843 from free spins, the promotion is expected to end

    I have been living here at 100 Oakway dr. Richmond, VA for over a year now. As you know, I am in apartment number 2b with apartment number 32c above me. For 3 months now, I have been experiencing loud barking and banging from above. I know already that there should be no animals here in Oakway, but it seems to me that apartment number 32c is not aware, or are not concerned with the rules. I have made several attempts to speak to Ms. Dale about the dog and how loud they are, but she always tells me they are her kids and “kids will be kids.” I am outraged and will be forced to move out if this continues. I am asking for you to take action and speak to Ms. Dale, as she won’t listen to me. Thank you for your…

    It was a balmy ten o’clock on a Saturday morning in June; the thick air around the Humane Society smelled vaguely of livestock. Stepping into the air-conditioned chill of the shelter, I took a breath, signed in to the volunteer portal, and took my place at the front desk. On this particular day the first people waiting were an older couple, and my heart sank when I saw them. The husband had a bundle in his arms, something wrapped in an old comforter, and I had worked the front desk long enough to know what that meant. Sure enough, as they approached, the blanket shifted and I saw, as I knew I would, the white muzzle and emaciated face of a dog in the decrepit last stages of old age. Her name was Daisy, the wife told me in a tight voice, and…
