My point of view is supported by the fact that the private dog park on CR 101 has thousands of members that pay for the pleasure of using the park. It makes me believe that most owners are responsible, and that we should be optimistically searching for credible options for dog walkers.
Or we can just keep complaining. After 90 posts on this thread, and umteen threads on the topics of dogs, why don't we try to find some solutions?  |
Good post, barefoot.
The people who are so adamant about dogs not peeing on their lawns would probably be better suited to a community that allowed fences on the front yards.
My dog took off a few evening ago chasing one of the three or four feral cats we have in out immediate neighborhood. We also have a family of rabbits, ducks that hatch their young in the neighbors bushes each year, and a family of opossum. Have not seen the opossum for a good time.
Unless my dog is always on the leash in our background I cannot control him from not chasing the various critters.
I try to keep him on the leash more often because of all the local wildlife.
This local wildlife also pees and poops in various lawns including our own.
