If you have the energy to take your dog out early in the AM, you have the energy to clean up after it.

It's a never ending problem in The Villages. Exists in all communities I'm sure, but never lived in any state or city where it's this common for people to intentionally take their dogs to the lawns of others, often several blocks away. Sometimes it helps if you wait for them (that's annoying, feels like the responsibility is on the innocent) and snap a picture, they will avoid your block or street. But, that does not mean they learn to walk their dog around their home until they get the results they want, and then take the dog on a walk if not yet tired out. Usually, it only means they will simply take their dog to the lawn of another, so your gain is probably someone else's misfortune. How simple it would be to end all "dog poop" threads year after year, just keep your dog and it's deposits in your own yard. YOU can decide if and when you want to pick it up. Don't bring it to neighborhood pools to "deposit" (Oh, in this hot weather the odor from the waste receptacle is overwhelming, happens every year, yet, clearly posted to NOT put dog feces in waste receptacle) , and when walking your dog have a leash you can control to keep it out of the lawns of others. I "could be so simple, simple RESPECT, but not going to happen. This should be among the most simple things to solve. The "developer" (that mystical creature referred to on here so often), is not going to be interested in this problem and the police have much better things to do than talk to trespassers, so grow up people, be kind, be respectful to each other and to all our community. It could end forever this week, IF YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN.
