Allow fences

Every day every day!
 

Fence would be nice. We do have the dog run but fleas are a problem when you bring the dog there. I really don't mind people walking there dogs but when the owners will not pick up after them I think there should be a fine. Most of the time you know who they are. We pay to have our yard mowed and sprayed I want it to look nice...this is getting hard when all you do is pick up pooo.

:sigh: Ah, for the love of cats....I just don't think I could handle the whole dog issue...the walking of the dog outside and then cleaning up the poop all the time. Atleast with a cat....there is only one place they go and it can be scooped up once daily....

I know there are some serious dog lovers on here and I am not saying anything "bad" about dogs...I am just grateful that I prefer cats!
:beer3: Cheers!

Doggie Doo Run Run has never presented the problem of fleas and/or any...
 

...other kind of bug during the 27 months or so we have been taking our dog there.

The dog run seems to either board or have regular canine clients numbering around 200 or so per week. At least while the snow birds and their dogs are stilll here in TV the numbers at the DDRR are pretty good.

DDRR is only open though from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. so there are other times of the day when a pooch needs to pee and/or poo.

There must be about 10,000 dogs in the TV and the surrounding area that could use the DDRR but do not. Some of the regular clients at the DDRR even come from the Dell Webb communities or from other nearby communities to the Villages.

Some dogs are too aggressive or submissive to come to DDRR but fleas and/or other bugs should not be a problem. The management of DDRR require that the dogs be kept current on shots and other medical treatment.

Allow fences, goood fences make better niebhors

And responsible smokers should pick up their cigarette butts!

And cigar butts littering championship courses.............

Will more dog parks keep Minnie, who lives down the street, from allowing her dog to squat in the neighbors yard? I wonder.

Fences would keep Minnie down the street from peeing on yards, but nothing can done about the butts on the ground.

I'm sorry I thought Minnie was the dog, I hope minnie isn't peeing on your yard. That would be a whole different discusion!

Fences
 

I agree with the idea of fences :coolsmiley:. It sure would make my search for a home alot easier, as I find myself looking at the homes that have fences because I have two doggies and it would make life so much easier etc. However, I dont need a big expensive home, I would rather a smaller home, so I will have more money leftover in my retirement to play! :pepper2:. Do you thin TV will ever allow fences in the future? :shrug:

Back yard fences have never stopped dogs peeing and pooping in front yards...
 

...anywhere else I have lived in the US. If you have an inconsiderate neighbor, he or she will probably keep doing whatever it is that annoys you.
