When we moved here in 03 , we bought a new cyv .........the book of restrictions stated no dogs over knee high,,,,,,,,,:spoken:

When we were trying to insure our home we were asked what type of dog we had. She is a Brooklyn Pedgree. We had to discribe her and I mentioned her size (over 100 lbs) and general appearance. I was informed we could not get insurance on our home if our baby ever came down with us. We have never brought her down with us but I have since seen many big dogs. Maybe it's her pedgree they did not like.

So sorry for your loss. We also recently lost our toy poodle. A great dog and great friend. Ours was so smart that I often thought she was telepathic.

Mine is a Border Collie/Collie Mix . She is a rescue baby from North Carolina. Now 10 years old.

Two domestic pets per household, any size. Cats are invisible so they don't count. That is my understanding!

Our rescue dog LolliPop is the greatest dog ever. A 70 lb Portugese Water Dog (see avatar). She had three homes before us, but now she has found her forever home. Our 10 lb Biggins is also very special. They light up our lives!

:doggie: :doggie:

Cannot wait until you all meet Minnie and Gracie, our Cavachons. Still waiting for the right family to come along and buy our house! We have enjoyed our home and location for many years, but are ready to meet all the dogs and owners in TV !!!

The Village dog
 

I have a white fluffy Peke a poo, she is around 13 pounds and almost 8 years old. I think it would be great fun to have all the small white dogs in the villages at one of the dog parks for a group picture. Also, it's really nice of our furry friends to let us use their golf carts.:a040:

I have Labradoodles
 

So much fun and so kind. They think the side of my cyv is a dog run...and
they run and race and play. Lost my 17 year old GD to the Rainbow Bridge
about a month before my move to The Villages. He would have been the
TV mayor!

Reggie rides on our motorcycle with us. He always wears his goggles.:wave:

We have two silly Yorkies, total weight 10 pounds. But they think they weigh 100 pounds. Sammy is 13 years old and Lilly is 4. We are looking forward to golf cart rides in TV with these characters, they have been in the city way too long, me too!

My joy is to see my manly man talk baby talk to the Yorkies or try to crawl in their bed. These dogs brings the love out of a person, especially my manly man and me too.

See yea all soon.

I can just picture that! It's so true about pets and unconditional love.

Yes, I feel the same way. I love to see Fireboy (a "manly" fire captain) nurturing my 19 year old cat and my little 10 lb Biggins. He plays silly games on the floor with all the animals. He cleans Lollipop's ears every few days. Dogs sure do inspire unconditional love!

Our sweet Emma is a 6 pound shih tzu that is pure love. I can't imagine our life without her.

Sam, please post a picture of Emma. She is a little doll, just adorable.

We will be down to stay with Clare and Chloe, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, on Oct.1.
