My first response to this post is to refute the first sentence. I don’t believe this is “one of the biggest issues Villagers face.” I admit it is an unpleasant situation, but, seriously, there are bigger problems in the world. I try very hard to control where my dog goes, but occasionally she does go somewhere she shouldn’t. I hope my neighbors do not see this as a sign of aggression on my part. It is just an accident. And I will always pick up after her. Also, this not a situation limited to The Villages. It is an issue anywhere dogs live. At our home in Michigan, I have to clean up a lot of rabbit poop in my fenced back yard so my dog doesn’t eat it. And birds make a pretty big mess on our cars, we don’t go trying to get dna samples from them. Animals don’t really understand how their elimination habits offend us humans so much.yes, dog owners should be responsible for cleaning up after their pets, but I think this issue is a little over blown. Bigger problems do exist in the world.
