Did someone ask for popcorn?

Any community that allows two dogs per household will have some uncivilized dog owners. We all knew when we purchased in The Villages that there are a huge number of dogs walking around. As a matter of fact, some of us purchased in TV because it's such a dog-friendly community. Obviously this was part of The Developer's vision.

Should everyone be civil and respectful and never speed in their golf cart or make rude finger motions in a roundabout or walk their dogs on someone else's lawn? Absolutely. Will that ever happen? Absolutely not. As with the other myriad of dog poop threads, all this thread will do is allow some frustrated residents to vent their frustration. And it obviously makes them feel better to vent, so I guess it's a good thing to have regular poop threads.

But please don't lose sight of the fact that most dog owners are civilized and charming and respectful of others' property. Unfortunately there are always some bad apples, that's life.
