They just plain don't want to see dogs in restaurants that allow pets on patios, in the squares, on the streets, at the farmers markets, Anywhere. It's really too bad, because the dogs aren't going anywhere. Those that moved here really should have done their research. I did....which is why I'm here. In my neighborhood, most folks have dogs. We all walk our dogs. If an accident happens, it is picked up immediately. ALWAYS! Everyone picks up. Guess I just got lucky......

We also researched only pet-friendly communities.
We moved to The Villages because there are two dogs allowed per household with no size restrictions.
I wish there were more dog parks - I think that would solve a lot of the angst about dogs.
Our solution is to visit the private dog park daily. We don't mind paying to use DDRR.
