He has to be on a leash and I don't think he will ever be any different, so it does create a hassle to take them out. You can work with though. Set your schedule, take them for walks, carry your baggie. It is pretty friendly dog wise.
I've owned in Bonnybrook for 3 years but lived permanently for 8 months. It is very friendly and established. I have a friend that lives in one of the newer villages and the difference I see is that everyone is new moving in and getting to know each other. If I was single, I would probably move to a new area where everyone is new. But in Bonnybrook everyone I have met are very friendly and several have made it a point to get you going into the driveway parties or golf and the pool is the place to meet many. It's an awesome group at all hours.
I love the location of Bonnybrook, but I haven't seen an area in TV that I couldn't live in. Even at the north end, it really doesn't seem that far to Spanish Springs and the trees are more mature.
Have you considered renting. There are alot of rentals for months or a year to do more complete research. I have also heard that alot of people buy 2-3 different homes in TV to go bigger or smaller at a later date.
You can't beat this place anywhere, I don't think. Feel free to email if you have any specific questions. Good luck on your hunt. You're going to love it.

Thanks! I think I did read somewhere that it is a little easier to bond with your neighbors when you all move into a new area together - each starting out new, fresh and exciting. Sounds good to me.
I do have concerns about starting off with a new puppy and not having a fenced in area - I REALLY want this option. I did think about renting, but after reading posts to this list and checking it out for myself - I haven't been able to find anyone who rents with pets. I believe Jeannie Beannie is going through the same thing and facing the same issue.
Two of the homes I had right up there on my list are already sold - just in the last two weeks, since I have returned. It does make me nervous - I Just found out I will be closing much sooner than I had thougt and I don't have a house yet! I am not complaining mind you - better to have my house sold & wanting to find the right place in TV than to be waiting/wanting to sell and not having a buyer!
Thanks again - would love to meet you and your little Doxie after I move down!
