Sorry, but I cannot resist reminiscing just a little!
Some 40+ years ago, when I was a Trustee of my neighborhood, on a private (that is, "gated") street in St. Louis, the principal topic of each Trustee's meeting (quarterly) and Resident's meeting (annual, first Monday of December) was controlling the dogs and their business. This was before "leash laws," but there were acrimonious exchanges every quarter/year.
Just before I came down to TV in 2005, I served once more as a Trustee of the very same private street. Surprise, surprise: the major topic of each meeting was controlling the dogs and their business!
Some things never change!
