We have never heard of dog urine ruining a complete lawn (hedges-yes) as has been mentioned here. We will take Mulligan to Doggie Doo Run Run but would also like to walk him on a leash at times. Am I reading complaints from just a few people or have dogs become undesireable in TV? Thanks for any response and Merry Christmas. Can't wait to get back down there.

In my humble opinion, you are reading complaints from a very small segment of residents. Have no fear, Mulligan will be welcome. As dog owners we respect the property of others, and I'm sure that you will also.

Dogs are an integral part of Village life. It seems that at least 20% of residents have dogs, and many have more than one! When we take our dogs anywhere in TV, we are constantly stopped by people who want to pat them. Most of them have dogs themselves, or have stories about how they used to have dogs, and miss them so much.
