I simply said well my dog is on his leash, here is his poop in my little bag, and I do believe this is Villages property not private property. I said I don't understand how TV being taunted as pet friendly will allow me to walk my dog on any town square or inside any of the sales centers (we actually have dog treats in the sales centers to give to dogs who come in) and you say this is the only private property where dogs aren't allowed.
I must say there were a few very hot tempered dog walkers there who got very argumentative.
I came home and called the district office (was told they knew nothing) they passed me on to community watch who passed me to their supervisor, who passed me to their supervisor and no one could tell me anything. All I got from the last lady was..give me your # and we will have someone who is aware of the situation call you back. Haven't heard back.
I will just say, whether it be dogs or any other countless rules, there will always be those who don't believe rules apply to them or choose only to follow a select few. I don't think dogs should be hanging around the postal stations themselves, but in the grassy areas that surround them, I don't see a problem. Just gives some people something else to complain about.

Why was this policy change not publicized before implementation? People are now told something they have been doing for five, ten, twenty years is now illegal, without any advance warning. Signs could have been posted, flyers posted at the mailbox, or an article in the Daily Sun would have gotten the word out.
This is so typical of the way things are done here. Drop the hammer with no notice then deny that anyone knows anything about the matter...think 'Berlin wall'. Changes were made under cover of darkness, then nobody would take responsibility for the action.
BTW: I feel sorry for the neighborhood watch fellows who have the job of informing residents they are breaking the law that nobody knew existed.
