Our neighborhood is the best! As far as disposal, most bought small stainless step trash cans they hide next to the garage behind a bush outside and you empty it on trash days. No big deal. I wouldn't expect dogs to walk on hot streets most of the year, they walk on the grass edge. Most of the dogs here are very little. In our case we have a full-size collie who only likes to go in her own yard so no problem. She goes first or waits til she gets back from her walk. As long as you carry a poop bag and clean it up right away, that's all we expect and have been happy with the result.

When we move down in late April, we will be on the lookout for all the types of dogs we love. We had 3 collies (2 sable and white and 1 tri-color). All have past and now we have a Bichon (Amy). Whenever we pass someone up here in PA, I ask my wife who is that and she responds "Miki" (or Czar or Bailey, Jackson, Phil, Ike, Jenna, Gibson, Sammy, Tiger, Andre the Giant [toy poodle], Chadwick, etc.). No mention of the humans! We're glad Amy is allowing us to come with her to live in the Villages! She can't wait to meet all her new friends.
