I love dogs but I cannot go through losing another one.

Has there ever been a poll or survey of what percentage of Villager’s homes have a canine?
Feline?
Either?

Just curious.
When I chose my home, my realtor told me the best way to make friends was to get a dog and walk her around the neighborhood. I had a little dog who was quite old and died a few months after I moved here. My heart was broken again. And as I have said many times before, I swore this was the last time I was going to go through the hurt. Two months later I got the 13th dog of my life. If you are a dog person you understand, if you’re not, you think I’m crazy. I don’t know how I would have gotten through this pandemic without her and the unconditional love is something I cherish…and unlike kids they don’t talk back!

As for percentages I cannot give you an accurate number but i can tell you that the majority villas have at least one dog. So if you don’t like dogs, don’t buy a villa.
