Nobody wants dogs running loose, it's apparent to me that fences would help elemate that problem as well as dog dropping in public. We haven't decided and are looking at other retirement locations. I know that this doesn't mean anything to other people but I think it's a shame .

Buc please don't feel you have to have a villa or get rid of your dog! We live in an Amarillo ranch and we just adopted a dog from the Sumter Humane Society. TV is a great place to live and your dog will love it too. Lots and lots of people own dogs and don't all live in a villa. The villa is great if that is what you like but personally I feel claustrophobic being walled in and also I prefer to see more activity and see my neighbors. I take my dog outside on the leash to do his business on our property. I also walk her near the rec center or near where the mail boxes are located. I always pick up after her immediately! Dogs are one of God's creations and I cannot understand how someone can dislike an innocent animal. I live on a corner lot and it seems to be the perfect area for dogs to want to do their business. I think people should first try to get their pet to do their business on their own lawn and then walk but if they pick up the droppings I don't say anything. If I see them and they don't pick it up I will offer them a disposal bag for their use! As for the bass boat I know they have an area that you can keep the boat but it will be an added monthly expense. Also keep in mind there are currently around 60,000 residents in TV and how many have you actually heard from on this site so far. Keep TV at the top of your retirement places to visit before you decide for or against living here.
