Of course, it goes wiithout saying, that all responsible pet owners in The Villages pick up after their dogs. Except for a few creeps. Probably the same yahoos that leave cigarette butts everywhere they go. Probably the same yahoos that throw coffee cups out the windows of their cars.

Hmm. I read a lot of posts from people who seem to think their neighbors' yards are ok to pee and ok to poop if you pick it up...
Today I walked my dog past other dog-walking neighbors. They walked on the edge of the street with a 8 foot lead and let the dog walk in every single yard. They even walked their dog through yards located right across the street from an unbuilt lot where the dog could have gone...and where mine did go. It looked to me like they were walking carefully along the edge to allow the dog every possible yard to choose wherever it wanted to go. I'm gonna get a couple of "please keep off grass" signs.
I'm not trying to start a riot, but after researching laws, it looks like it is a first degree misdemeanor with a penalty of $1000 for trespass that leaves waste on homeowner yards. Please, no attacks. It's information, or how I read the statute anyway...
