Fur baby = derogatory term for child with hypertrichosis, aka: werewolf syndrome. Demeaning to both humans and dogs. Usually used to try and sound cute, or to anthropomorphize something not human.

While I like dogs, I hate it when people try to make their animal sound like something it isn't.

I wuv my widdle 14-year-old fur-baby puppy-wuppy.

I yelled at the owner who was on her phone, she softly called them back, they finally went to her. I like dogs, but you cannot predict how an animal will respond to a stranger. Keep your dog on a leash even in your yard, it is just a courteous thing to do with houses so close together. Even though your neighbors seem to not care when your dog runs to them, not everyone wants to pet your animal every time they walk outside.
From deed restrictions:
Birds, fish, dogs and cats shall be permitted, with a maximum of two (2) pets per Homesite. Each Owner shall be personally responsible for any damage caused to dedicated or reserved areas by any such pet and shall be responsible to immediately remove and dispose of any excrement of such pet and shall be responsible to keep
such pet on a leash. No other animals, livestock, or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred, or kept on any Hornesite or on dedicated or reserved areas.

So do the deed restrictions say to you that your dog needs to be on a leash indoors as well? Or, are they referring to "dedicated or reserved areas?"

Not my question, not my problem, not my phone call to make.

My statement was that I did not see a reference to a leash law in the ordinance. I do not see a reference to a leash law on the animal control site either.d

I'm not a lawyer so saying, "this guy on ToTV told me..." won't help much in court. But if a poster is going claim that something is law then they sure ought to be able to point to some official source to back them up.

You're asking questions: Can you show an ordinance that states that? Yes, the definition of Direct Control includes those words but I could not find where the ordinance required a dog on it's owner's property to be under direct control.

That question and statement were for TravelHunter who made the assertion. I was not asking the general board and I was not asking Animal Control, though if someone had an applicable link it would be helpful. TravelHunter made the assertion several times so they must have authoritative info to back it up. Their contact info might be useful but I'm sure he/she will see my post and reply (or not).

The Animal Control contact info is great for the OP.

An incident where someone has their dog loose on their own property- if you are not 100% sure that your “friendly” dog will never leave your property then your dog should be tethered. Many dogs are fear reactive to strange dogs coming up to them and will be aggressive and it doesn’t matter how friendly your dog is. There are also people who are afraid of dogs.

If your dog is on your property then you shouldn’t have to worry about a strange dog coming up to them. Once again, the problem is not with the dogs, it’s irresponsible owners not properly controlling their dogs.

Righto.

A key word here is "shouldn't". This indicates that you do have to worry about strange dogs, leashed or running loose.
Also correct about irresponsible owners. Amazing how many seem not to recognise their own irresponsible behavior and try to defend or deflect when it is pointed out.

i agree with you, i'd be scared to death to keep 1 of these guys off leash due to the wild animal issue. even if it's your property, i've seen some of the critters wandering around here
