He is not a walker, and I don't really know how to handle his exercise outdoors, if a fence is not allowed. I would appreciate any suggestion you could offer. Are "bird cages" the answer. Where can I go to have one constructed as an extension to my lanai? Thanks for your help.

Welcome to TV and TOTV! I know you will love it here. An electric fence is probably your best bet. You might also be interested to know that there is a free dog park in TV in the Village of Springdale where you can bring your dog off leash for exercize and socializing. It has separate areas for large and small dogs. It's a great place to meet other dog owners. There's also a popular commercial dog park nearby called Doggie Do Run Run.

Congratulations on your new home and life in TV. All best wishes!
