No point in the doggie discussion. Just wanted to make it clear that the irrigation water is not reclaimed from household waste water. The water is still treated, just not to the same level as potable water, but only slightly less.

I think you should turn ON your sprinkler system. Get the offender wet. They won't be back. LOL

Keep them off of private lawns, period. Do it for the sake of the animal if not for respecting property owner's rights. You never know what may have been put on a private lawn that could be injurious or even fatal to the dog. Could happen either intentionally or by ignorance. The issue is so important that some homeowners could resort to that. Why make your dog suffer / die because you are inconsiderate? If you love them so much, keep them off other's private property, plain and simple.

There is a man at the mailing station in duval that walks his dogs right up to the mailboxes and he gets his mail on top and 3x now we have seen his 1 dog lift his leg and urinate all over the bottom mailboxes. This is disgusting and makes me very happy that my mailbox is on top. I made a comment to him and he pretended he did not hear me. Also we have seen the bags full of waste in the trash by the mailboxes. I do not have to tell you what that smells like in august. Unfortunately the slobs ruin it for the people that do it right.
I believe this type of dog owner is more prevalent than any of you will admit. The idea that someone would allow their dog's excrement to go all over mailboxes that we touch is beyond my comprehension. It is possible dog owners are going to lose more and more "privileges" due to their abuse of every day considerations? PRIVATE PROPERTY IS PRIVATE PROPERTY! I just don't know or understand why dog owners don't get it. KEEP YOUR DOG IN YOUR OWN YARD! PERIOD! Then there would be no need for more poop threads.

Their polluting the air that you and I have to breath. Of course they say breathing second hand smoke causes cancer if anyone cares about their health.

To poop or not to poop. I find these poop threads endlessly entertaining.

(Don't flame me, I am aware that sometimes I have no life.)

I am not aware of any law that defines exhaled tobacco smoke as a pollutant which would make same against the law. Please cite the law to which your post refers - would like to carry a copy around with me. Thanks.

It is a ridiculous pastime.
I guess that complaining endlessly about dogs is a pleasurable pastime for some. Unfortunately there will always be a few rotten apples in the dog-owners' barrel. I doubt the rotten apples read TOTV or care a hoot about people in general.

Unfortunately the 99% of dog owners who are responsible and respectful residents, get lumped in with the bad apples. Sadly, some good people (who always pick up after their dogs) end up being afraid to even take their dogs for a pleasant walk.

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.
