If you really wanted to prepare yourselves, you would've asked these questions the first day you decided to even WONDER about the Villages as an option for your next move. What would've happened if you found out - three weeks before move-in day - that the only option for your two medium sized dogs was to keep them penned up in your courtyard for the rest of their lives? What kind of "preparation" would you be making?
SMH - what kind of dog-lovers would move in to a place that they believe bans their pets, and then wait til three weeks before move-in day to ask for confirmation.

There you go!
Harsh, but everything a dog owner should consider and Forbes magazine should know, if they want to be credible. Forbes apparently neglected to survey OBB's entire street when they did their survey.
Sounds a little self-centric, but what do I know?
