This is a field without any real fencing around it to speak of and people have been taking their dogs there for probably the last 20 years if not more.

And most of the Villages' area dog parks leave a lot to be desired.

20 years or more???

Sounds like squatters' rights should prevail

They might have an argument but it probably would be a weak one.

One take away from this is that the Villages needs better and more dog parks. Bigger areas for them to really run.

Another takeaway from this is that dog-owners need to be more responsible for the waste of their dogs. But if they don't care that they're using someone else's property for their dog's toilet, they probably aren't going to care about cleaning up after them either.

This is why sometimes you can't have nice things.

Most are responsible. Dogs are not always in control of their bowel movements either. Sometimes they just have to go.

This has been probably the hottest topic on TOTV-- dog poop on people's lawns.

There would be less of it with more dog parks in the Villages.

And trees . . . . Trees! . . . . TREES!

Not for the dogs to necessarily pee on but for much-needed shade!

True. One thing about the Rio Grande field was that there were some nice trees at the far south side even if there would sometimes be things in them that might snatch a smaller pooch.
