And if a banning were to be posted, but not enforced, couldn't that drag TV into the liability line-up if an incident occurred that resulted in a lawsuit? (I don't know the legal answer to that one, but I would think it would put TV on the legal responsibility radar. Maybe not. Don't know. Just a thought.)

When I am there, my dog will not be at the square. But that does not mean that I would run around trying to make everybody else's dog go home.

I think maybe when the tale starts wagging the dog on this subject, it is possible that the rumors could go out there about an impending banning and that could result in a little discussion, at least, and maybe a couple of people might get a clue to shorten the leash. Not everybody, of course. That never happens. But a banning? That would just cause a bigger problem.

Now, what I really need to know is whether or not dogs are allowed to use floats in the pools.

I am sooooooooo with you on this one! I love seeing the dogs in the square! Yes, of course, some people really don't know how to act with them... but, boy, seeing a happy, tail-waggin' pup, sure makes me smile!
