Since it is Survey Time, it's a good time to talk about the need for additional dog parks in The Villages. We love the fact that TV allows two dogs per household without size restrictions. BUT, when large numbers of dogs are allowed in a community, there will be trouble if Dog Parks are not provided. In a Dog Park, where people are required to pick up after their pets, there are bins provided for the refuse.

If Dog Parks are not provided, people will make postal stations into a substitute. Or they will walk the dogs in their local neighborhood which has led to many threads about pee stains on lawns.

I suggest we ask for more Dog Parks on the new Survey. It will give dog owners a convenient place to walk their dogs. For non owners, there is also a benefit, pristine lawns with no stress.

We don't have a dog in this fight. We will continue to take our dogs daily to a private non-Village Dog Park. We pay a monthly fee for this amenity and we are happy to do so.
