I need to do this somewhere on Stonecrest Property, indeed I was mistaken.

If you have never been to a dog park and seen the interaction between the dogs and owners you would think walking them in someone's yard might be feasible. A dog park is a wonderful experience for the pets and their owners and really can't be beat if done correctly.

I am totally confused by this thread. We have a group of Stonecrest folks using an electric company right away as a place for their dogs to play, pee and poop. And then to add fuel to the fire we have a 3 year old (still in diapers)? living in The Villages and playing in dog poop. You can't make this stuff up!!!! Oh yeah, and some Villager hosing down the dog owners in a mad rage!

I agree, this may be just a troll having fun as nothing tracks as being sensible.

The story has more twists than a Chubby Checker convention.

Sorry you feel that way.

I like Chubby.

The way to get Stonecrest to move on this is for all the dog owners to move to The Villages.

I was thinking Winter Park, a great place for dog owners.

Does Stonecrest have a Blog?
Where is EDV on this one?

Admin there may be an opportunity there for a new TOSC.

This has got to be the strangest thread I've ever seen.

We pay $30 a month and take our dog to Doggie Doo Run on County Road 101. My husband gets up and out by 7 am, loads the two dogs, they run and run and run in a secure acreage private dog park, and then he brings them home and they sleep all day. A perfect solution, take the dogs for a ride, pay your dues, and watch your dogs have a great time. A dog park for dogs, a separate area for small dogs, a dog bath available. And you put flags where they poop and the staff clean up throughout the day. What could be better?

Wonder if you could put up some sort of a barrier at least along the bottom of the fence. It would prevent a visiting grandchild from (1) petting dogs and risking getting bit and (2) putting hands where they didn't belong. It would also keep urine and defecation on the other side of the fence. Your TV neighbors might appreciate it.

Another thing you might want to consider is asking this group of homeowners to talk to your POA about their issues with the dogs being walked there, including the risk of some major lawsuits because of personal injury or property damage. Seems like maybe a reasonable discussion might help sway your POA.

Another slightly (?) nasty suggestion -- collect the dog poop that your neighbors aren't collecting and take it to a meeting. Let the POA see what kind of liability they are risking if a child gets ill because of this behavior (called an attractive nuisance in most courts). A dog park could have volunteer monitors that would require owners pick up after their dog.

And I did watch it. I saw where when your folks were asked if the police had been contacted, the question was avoided. When the man insisted on an answer, he as told yes, but not officially, but someone talked to someone that new a police officer.

This is too bazaar for me. I am done with this thread.

Wow! The Stonegates Homeowners Assoc seems to be having a lot of problems with Stonegates builders, besides the dog park (which I can't believe is being ignored) there seems to be an ongoing back gate and pond issue with litigation.

we bring our dog to Doggie Run Run on CR101. Acres of land and room to run run run.
