Just a Prejudiced Opinion -- Nothing More.

You are so wrong and soooo off base with your percentage, it isn't even funny.
You obviously do not own a dog which indicates how wrong you really are. You haven't a clue.

MOST people DO pick up after their dog.
If those who don't are in a public situation, trust me . . . someone is going to tell them to pick it up!

Your opinion is very sad and that's what it is -- an "opinion" which is based on nothing factual.

You are both correct!

I am a believer that most of the negative and hateful comments from posters are from people who don't have any experience with what their comments say or reflect, and on top of that, they are magnified to grandiose proportions.

Two Confusing Posts

In my opinion, I have seen far too many village dog owners that are inconsiderate to non-animal aficionados.

Based upon my aforementioned experience any," friendly" dog that advances to someone, albeit a sniff or soliciting a pet is an invasion of personal space. That has occurred to me on many occasions as I frequent the squares.
I was commenting on the OP's inconsiderateness of some dog owners irregardless of whether it is poo, ****, or leashing.

I believe you are confused. No. You do not agree with the O.P. (that's me!).
You seem to agree with the entire comment which is quoted and contained "get rid of your dog." !!!

YOU stepped on a dog's foot and was bittten? THAT has nothing to do with whether or not a dog is friendly!
Uhhh . . . excuse me, but whose fault was that? You were a child? And where was your mother?

"Non-animal aficionados" ???

One suggestion I can make to you is to not go to any of the squares.
I do not believe there is any such thing as "personal space" in a public area as large as one of the squares.
You have the ability to walk where no one else is sitting, standing or walking. Your choice.

And in your last sentence you referred to my inconsiderateness? What did I do or say to deserve that?
And BTW, there is no such word as irregardless, and poo, ****, or leashing. ???

What I can't understand is dog owners who don't let their dog go on their yards, but it is ok to walk up and down the street and go on the neighbors yards.

devohna 06-10-2018 09:31 AM

I agree let your dog do his business in your yard if I wanted dog crap in my yard I would get a dog.. especially you with long leashes and yes YOUR dog did go after me when i came out of my garage with a broom and when I held it like a baseball bat you got upset... really???

Gerald 06-10-2018 09:40 AM

I agree. Keep off private property.
I have two dogs. They are not allowed to go on any ones property. Only my lawn and I pick up after them.
However I am sure people that walk their dog will still keep letting them go on other people’s lawn. Yes they mostly pick up . But pee still kills the lawn.

Cedwards38 06-10-2018 11:47 AM

I love dogs. I have two. I take care of them and clean up after them. Having said that, I have found dog poop all too often on the golf courses lately. Why does anyone think that is OK?

This is called trespassing...……………….

I don't have a dog because of allergies so I too get tired of finding feces in my yard or seeing people let their dog come up almost to my front door to do their business.

Barefoot 06-10-2018 03:03 PM

It shouldn't be necessary, but why not talk to the people that let their dogs pee on your lawn?.
If you say in a very nice way: "I'd appreciate it if you don't walk your dog on my property",
you might be surprised at the reaction.

It's possible that some dog walkers are off in dreamland and have never considered that they are trespassing.
It's worth a try, rather than posting on TOTV!

IMHO, people that allow their dogs to defecate on private or public property,
including golf courses, are extremely rude and beyond help.

If you catch someone in the act, I suggest you take their picture.
And forward it to the online newspaper.
They seem to like bad parking, they'll love rude dog owners.

Vito and Rocco are unemployed as of today. They are available to deliver the inspirational speech for the property owner. Will work for Spaghetti & Meatballs and Tilapia. :swear:

Most of the time it’s a futile conversation. The I’d appreciate conversation is met with rude remarks, the finger, and my dog does not do damage to our yard, why is it problem. On average per day we have no less than 11 dogs per day using our facilities. We actually have a dog owner who raises their garage door half way, stoops underneath, drags the dog down the drive, away from their lawn, walks across the street to our lawn so the dog can use our facilities.

Response is I did know you were home. It’s a multi daily thing. But I will say they have the perfect lawn, and ours well it has gone to the dogs, so to speak.

We are on the corner, we get lots of puppy traffic. Our fur baby does not live here yet, so rude awakening for her when she gets to move in. She is very territorial and is not going to be happy when she comes here to live full-time.

Just curious . . . what do you think of this comment???


Interesting replies, most of whom don't get it. I am not attempting to make new friends with this post, and your welcome to the villages comment is late because I have now been here 17 years. My purpose is to point out leash laws, using common areas that are NOT dog parks, ENTITLED dog owners that think my yard is THEIR personal dog park. I will never understand the hubris and temerity of dog owners ASSUMING the right to walk their dogs on private property. If you are a dog owner, use YOUR yard. I respect YOUR property and would never enter uninvited. Cant use your yard? Get rid of your dog, you get all the enjoyment at home, I get your crap. THINK ABOUT IT!

I agree 100 percent!

NotGolfer 06-11-2018 07:14 AM

First of all I agree with the OP 100%

Then read in today's Daily Sun in the advice column that someone had a solution to dogs doing their "thing" in other people's yards. It has to do with Jars Full of Water...I'm skeptical but maybe it would work. Anyone want to try it and get back here with their opinion??

lorilorilori 06-11-2018 07:43 AM

I have rental units with 250 tenants and this is a constant complaint.
I am a true dog lover and agree completely - keep off of other peoples property
Take care of your dog like you take care of your children (which is why we have problems!!)
Now we can start a thread about unruly kids.

Here it is Bare.

Ironic that it is answering a previous letter from...'Can't Go Barefoot....' :D

mollyb 06-11-2018 05:30 PM

It's rude, crude & unacceptable

Thanks for posting the letter CNM.
That is a fascinating theory.
If it works in Hawaii, it may work in The Villages.
Worth a try anyway.
