TV is very pet friendly. There is only one person in TV who doesn't like dogs and that is Fumar. Avoid him at all costs. The other 79,999 love dogs.

We have an invisible fence for our dogs which works beautifully. (We used to own a Courtyard Villa but we wanted more space and a larger garage.)

Every day I take my 70 lb dog and my 10 lb dog to a huge private dog park called Doggie Doo Run Run. It only takes me 5 minutes to drive there. They get a chance to run and play off leash for an hour. It's a wonderful place. $25 per month for one dog, $30 per month for two dogs. A real bargain.

There are also a couple of Village-owned dog parks which are smaller, but golf cart accessible. I don't use them, only because I love DDRR so much!

Good luck with your basset hounds.
