This morning while cleaning my garage a nice young lady who appeared to be in her mid 30's walked by with her dog and no leash. I asked "where is your leash" her response was to flip me off. I guess she is one of the privileged people here in TV that don't have to be concerned about deed restrictions. My dog would like to walk without a leash also but never has since moving here.

I am one of those people, maybe the only one, that believes in following the rules, rules and regulations that we all agreed to when we signed our deeds. I don't feel privileged or special enough to not follow the rules. If all of us chose to not follow the rules we would be overrun with dogs going where they want and doing what they want. Our dog while on his leash was attacked by a larger dog not on a leash, he suffered with his injuries for 6 weeks, the owner paid the vet bills but she did not have to watch him suffer and try to get him up to walk so he could do his business. That is why I care. By asking for the third time "where is your leash" does not deserve getting a finger thrown at you but at least I now know her true personality. There are dog parks where you can allow your dog to run free that is why they built them. I was hoping that she would soon start to obey the rules but I guess she chooses not to so now I'll go the other route and hopefully that will work.

She should care, because it's against the law. She might actually be saving the dog's life someday and saving that woman a ticket and a trip to court. In this mornings online Villages News;
A Village of Silver Lake resident was cited for allowing his large labrador dog to run free. A jogger reported that the dog chased after him and animal control responded and gave the owner a ticket.

Maybe you need to carry a weapon when you go for a walk.
At our golf course in Virginia, an unleashed dog came charging at me, so I took out a golf club and swung at him. The horrified owner quickly pulled their dog away.
When houses were being built in our neighborhood of Osceola Hills, I was harassed by unleashed dogs on more than one occasion. I started carrying a hiking stick with a sharp metal point when I walked, and it was useful.

You probably would have had better results calling the sheriff or animal control. Would be fun watching what happens if she flips off the sheriff.

Entitled residents (they think) abound.
I have a reasonable accomodation pass for golf. This morning at Yankee Clipper, we were advised that ALL HOLES WERE CART PATH due to extreme wet conditions.
So like a conscientious resident that I am, I played toward the cart paths on the longer holes. Walking as much as I was able.
On most every complimentary fairway there were any number of folks driving on the course/fairways. When I hollered over the usual response wave a wave off (mind your own business).
Once again the majority were following as directed. The other 10% were doing as they damn well pleased.
Most likely the same who do not rake, fill divots or fix ball marks.
Thumbs down on the entitled!!!

Maybe she was just mugged . And someone stole her leach. Let’s not jump to conclusions. That is why she flipped you off. She was probably still upset.
Next time offer her a leach and a hug.
There would be less shooting in this world if you did.

Actually I am with you. The entitled who walk their dogs off lead, or let them go on other peoples yards, are one subset. The other subsets include, but are not limited to: golf cart drivers who ignore stop signs, people who walk where they please regardless of safety or the law (think walking in the street next to the sidewalk), people who make changes to their property that should have gotten approval from ARC-then complain about "trolls" turning them in.
We read the deed restrictions before we signed. Yes, I read every document that requires my signature-the parties interested in getting me to sign those documents can either sit there and wait until I am done, or they can send them to me in advance of our meeting. This may shock some, but there was not one person who coerced us in any way to buy our home in The Villages, forcing us to accept the restrictions.
I feel no sympathy to those turned in for deed violations, by people nameless or otherwise. Should they not like being turned in? They can sell their home and move out.
The rest of the behavior shows a general lack of courtesy at the least. Great role models for the younger generation (please read the latter as extreme sarcasm).

I had an Old English that was never on a lead (mainly because he ran beside my bike). He was completely hand and voice trained and always under my control. The first stop I would make when visiting a new town with Sleeper was to the police department. I would put him through his paces and undergo any tests they wanted to try (including a police dog threatening him). Only one town (Berzerkley) insisted he still be on a lead. I sort of complied. Sleeper would have the lead on and carry it in his mouth. Worked for us. Have had many other dogs but they were always on a lead when not in fenced back yard. Just were not as able to control themselves when excited.
Does this make me entitled? I don’t think so. Most leash ordinances are phrased that dog must be on a leash or under the complete control of the handler. He was gutter trained so there never was an issue of messes on private property and even gutter messes were picked up. Would I flip someone off who commented he wasn’t on a leash? Maybe. Depends how it was said and my mood. I never did, though. Usually I stopped, show PD certificate/note showing it was okay.

I am so sorry about your dog being bitten. Naturally you would be angry to see another person not leashing their dog.
It doesn't do a danged bit of good to call out to others about dangers and our beliefs, they just think we are gooney old people.
I admit I did just the same a couple of weeks ago when I was watering my roses and saw an unknown person in our neighborhood sitting next to a very small person of about six years of age allowing them to drive a golf cart.
I called out to them.
Something. I don't know what I said, but I shouldn't have. It was useless and not my business.

For most of my adult life I have been in positions of authority in which I could give correction to people misbehaving, usually by arresting them. :)
That having been said, having left those positions I studiously avoid confrontations, including both minor incidents and poor driving by others. The reason is that in my law enforcement career there were times when I saw such arguments escalate to the point that people were seriously injured.
A friend has joked that he wouldn't yell or gesture at someone who offended him in traffic in Tampa because he estimates that 80% of Tampa drivers have a pistol in their glove box.
Around the country people do get shot in incidents that began as simply yelling at each other.
Do I avoid confrontations out of fear? No, in my case my great concern is that I might have some irrational person attack me and that I might have to use deadly force in my defense. I don't need that kind of trauma during my "Golden Years."
But, I would counsel others, who have neither the background nor the experience to defend themselves in a real physical fight, or even skilled combatants, to abstain from giving verbal admonishment to people over minor issues. To do so always has the potential for disastrous consequences, and the person who initiates the conversation might be found to be the guilty party charged with the consequences in a court of law.
It's not always sufficient to be "morally right." :police:

I'm surprised that idea hasn't been implemented somewhere in TV already.
Even recognizing that the idea is to sell houses to whomever qualifies is the only goal, setting aside even a few cul-de-sac's for it...could be a good marketing strategy.
One issue I can see however, could be a resident losing their dog and choosing not to replace them...so a 'caveat' needs to be in place to protect them. :shrug:
In regards to men never wearing mittens, that someone in a post above mentioned should never be done...that simply means they've obviously never spent any length of time in actual cold weather.

These dog parks harbor who knows what parasites fleas ect ect
again you see it everyday someone going down the cart path Fido on a leash running along side while owner sits in cart
..No potty bag in hand
Pushing the poor thing around in a carriage just to show off at the square is laughable, feel sorry for the poor thing

My dogs are not unhappy. We have a yard, bird cage and pool for them to exercise. They are taken on 3 long walks per day. Most of the dogs here are very small and do not need that much exercise. As far as the heat and humidity they stay in the air conditioning.

Yes, that is the county law. However, if you are fortunate enough to live in The Villages, our law says that dogs must be ON A LEASH!!!
Check your deed restrictions.
This is very true but people tend to believe that if the county says "control" that supersedes the deed restrictions, "IT DOES NOT" All dogs are to be on leashes when outside of the home including dogs owned by the privileged.

These dog parks harbor who knows what parishes fleas ect ect
I'm not sure what parishes are, however most responsible dog owners have their dogs on flea, heartworm and tick prevention. Our dogs are safe and happy, socializing at DDRR on ten fenced acres.

And dog parks are full of them as not all park users have their dogs on prevention.

I solved my situation for the moment and met some really nice people. The two mistakes that a dog owner let their precious pet or pet's leave on our lawn were mysteriously gone after I had a very nice talk with some of the walkers. We did not pick it up! Its something, the same people and dogs every day on our side of the road, when they see us having coffee and talking with neighbors they go to the other side of the street as if that would stop me from having a civility class with these inconsiderate idiots. Suddenly they have taken another route. I don't miss them a lot, not yet.
I think the thing that sealed the deal was when I pointed out on a scale of 1 to 10 ten being no good, how would you rate your feeling if I did that on your lawn tonight under the cover of darkness and left the gift for you like you did for me. Each one of them were stunned but you could see them conjuring a mental image that once you have it you can't unsee it. Case Closed. Pool Time. Wake up Johnny its your dog not mine.
For the #1 problem bring a Straw cause we don't want that gift either.

People walk dogs in the darkness of night also, you can't be out there 24 hours a day. Lots of dogs pee on our grass but so far no damage, haven't found any poop yet, most people pick it up as they don't know who is looking.

Given enough time, every thread ends up being about dog poop.
That's about when the moderators end it.

While most dog owners treat their neighbors with respect, apparently there are a few bad apples who ruin it for everyone.
Into all lives, a little rain must fall.
