This cracks me up. This type of comment is why these threads are worth a good laugh. Does anyone really believe that dogs pee on the mail boxes.....good grief. Show me a picture. I think some folks need to get out and get a little fresh air......Oh no wait...they can't...the air is polluted from all the smoke :laugh: Try to smile all you unhappy people...its really not worth all this stress that you are creating for yourselves.

I don't believe that is an accurate statement. There are thousands of dogs in The Villages and if what you expect the case to be were true this place would be a pig sty (sp?). :doggie:

I know there must be a good reason but why do people who own dogs walk their dogs everywhere but their back yard to poop or pea.

They don't "walk" in their backyard. There dog does their "business" in the backyard. When the dog has done his "business" in the backyard.......they take a walk around the neighborhood....maybe to a mail station....maybe to a park.....wherever they want.....it's their daily walk. Sometimes the dog decides that the "business" that was deposited earlier in his own yard just wasn't enough and lo and behold...he's gotta do it again. So.....the owner has a bag...picks it up...and takes it home. Nobody WANTED the pup to make another daily deposit.....nature just called. NOBODY was harmed in this transaction.

Dogs need exercise and have every right to be walked on the road or sidewalks.

Gerryann, dog execrement is dog poop. This poster seems to believe that dog owners are backing their dogs up to the mail boxes so the dogs can poop on the mail boxes. :ohdear: Now that's a feat I'd like to see.
