Each of the personalities at this weblog sends his sincere thanks to Judges Sam Sparks and Lee Yeakel of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, for cracking down on irresponsible dog owners who “failed to live up to their representations and legal obligation to remove their pets’ deposits.”  (<\/FONT>law.com<\/FONT><\/A>, “Judges fed up with dogs that violate courthouse lawn,” 04-17-04, and <\/FONT>AP\/Houston Chronicle,<\/FONT><\/A> 04-16-04).  And, we don’t care if “the courthouse grounds has one of the few patches of grass anywhere in the downtown area.” (<\/FONT><\/FONT>Fox7<\/FONT><\/A>, Austin, TX)<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
