I liked the earlier idea to just mention you have rat poison out (even if you really don't), and say you saw her sniffing around it, and would hate for her to accidentally get sick from being where she shouldn't be next timeI live on a lake, out in the country, and there is no animal control to call. I'm sure the family cares about their dog, but so far, they have not shown much responsibility for her by letting her run free and going on to other people's property. I'm a little frustrated with the owners, in this situation, but they are good people too.
