We just prefer not to own a dog now in our life because we are just so busy in the villages!! we don't have time and really don't want the responsibility of a dog. But i do have many opinions on dogs. If you own a dog, keep the dog on your property not ours!! pick up of course thats a no-brainer. and when we come to visit you PLEASE put your dog away. you may love your dog but i've gotten jumped on by dogs, scratched by dogs and hair all over my new clothes. we love to visit friends, but sometimes it's hard when they dont' know to put their animals away. We owned dogs in the past and of course we all had fences so we kept our dogs in our own yards or walked to woods. The dog park is a great place for you to take your dog or a courtyard villa as others mentioned is a great idea. Consideraton of others is really the key. we always put our dog away when we had company as we understood others may not want a dog jumping up on them or be a dog lover. We were always considerate. we're glad we did not buy an end piece of property as we know quite a few people who have problems with dog walkers letting the dogs use their property as their personal bathrooms. It's just this simple - you may love your dog but don't infringe on others who don't own a dog or want one. If we all respect each other, we can get along and live peacefully.

Rod Serling did a great Twilight Zone episode based on this.... anyone remember it?
