Dog' in strollers!
 

Are you kidding me? I though you were supposed to walk dogs on a leash. Do the people know how stupid they look? When I do see a stroller with a baby in it I'm shocked! I have even seen people drive their golf cart with their dog running on the leash along side it. Unbelievable! Or how about going to the functions at the squares and having to watch your every step for fear of stepping on a dog. People, leave them home!!!!

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

and one tiny wicked boy howdy too.

To each his own - unless they're tripping you up at the square!

I'm getting the feeling that it's Groundhog Day! Oh wait a sec... maybe it is! I think I see Bill Murray walking by our place pushing a pooch in a stroller! I think I saw him yesterday, same time too! :shocked:

You will lots of stuff like that here. Very interesting place to live. My favorite. At LSL square having a beer in my cart. Gal,few feet down eating a ice cream cone,one lick for her,one lick for her dog. One lick for her and one lick for her dog.Then it was a gone. Never could understand that one. Strange.

:welcome:Welcome to life in TV................very dog friendly place. Live and let live, so go enjoy life in TV and stop complaining because the only other alternative is to move.

As you probably know, The Villages is a pet-friendly community. Most Villages allow two dogs per household. Dogs are permitted at The Town Squares. Why do you care if people push strollers with their dogs inside? You say you're concerned about stepping on dogs. I would think you'd be happy with this solution?

WHATEVER :thumbup:

No,what I wrote is not complaining.However I beleive you are doing so.Talking about strange,do you think?Do not think I ever considered moving because of a person and a dog eating from the same cone. Talk about unsanitary. Have you considered moving since you brought that subject up.

We walked our pug in a stroller for years because he could not walk himself. Ever think of that? He could not use a dog hind legs wheel chair either. Your post certainly does sound like a complaint.

I don't get it, why does the stroller thing bother people so much?

You are only trying to stir the pot. If the person sharing ice cream with their dog truly bothered you than just look away.

Dogs get old or have back injuries and can not walk. If you have a problem with that as well, don't look.

Dear Crummy, sorry that dogs press your buttons but in order to have a peaceful life here in TV I suggest you get over it because they are here to stay whether in a stroller on on a leash. Viva doggies.:thumbup:

First disclosure...I am not fond of any kind of critters. I also try really really hard not to judge anyone or any one thing. However, sharing an ice cream cone with a dog about makes me want to barf. I never wanted sloppy wet kisses from girls and I sure don't want a dog licking my face.:yuck: And the thought of wheeling a dog in a carriage makes me want to :1rotfl: boy The Villages is certainly entertaining. And finally I hope I haven't hurt anyones feelings. I am just so uninformed about so much

Good for U, And I love u for it.
If someone does not like it they can kiss your K9's @$$

Ut-oh! I saw a bunch of dogs at Walmarts earlier today and I think they were buying squirt guns. I think they might be forming a Poochie Posse!

Next thing you know someone will put a Bulldog on a skateboard then post it on youtube.

Oh No, Poor dogs, I would NEVER take my dogs to Walmart, you never know what they might catch sitting in the shopping cart.

Thank You very much. But its hard to turn away when someone with their dog are eating a ice cream cone together.Germs,germs,germs.To me it was a sight to see. Wonder if they was their hands for dinner.

I don't like to see dogs in strollers either, it just looks funny to me. But....what I saw in Walmart one day was even sillier. A woman pushed her cart into the Subway there with a baby in the seat part. She took her purse and went to order leaving the baby in the seat of the stroller. Another couple and I looked shocked and we all moved toward the stroller to make sure the baby was safe. The baby was safe, it was a life size dead ringer for a real baby, but was rubber and plastic ! Now I do understand that it fills a void for some people and that's ok, but it was scary at first to think someone left their real baby in a stroller unattended. Then we all had a good laugh!

My wife and I had several dogs during our marriage. I agree it is a bit "unusual" to share the same ice cream cone with your dog. That's a line that I wouldn't cross---and we loved our dogs. Also, I never saw the stroller "thing" until I moved to TV six years ago. :1rotfl: The first one I saw from a distance six years ago----I thought it was somebody's baby in a stroller and I was thinking really that was sure an "ugly" one----it was a small bull dog! Nearly wrecked! Since that time, gotten use to it and don't pay attention. OP, trust me, you will soon get use to seeing dogs in a stroller.

Well if a don't care for a puppy in stroller
 

What do you think of a elephant going for a ride.

That's OK so long as they don't also bring them the squares for dancing at night! :1rotfl:

Do you notice the ads for strollers above Skyguy's post? Coincidence?????

I was responding to Crummybuttons the OP, not yours. The OP sure sounds like a complaint to me. You are quite sensitive................sorry.

Geeezzzz Louise! Is everyone bored today with nothing better to do?
I want to address the "dog running along side golf cart" that was mentioned in the original post. My husband does this nightly with our Goldendoodle. Why you would ask ... for exercise. He's a runner, he loves to run, the dog that is, not my husband. Hubby used to ride his bike with our dog running along side of him but has been pulled over several times so, we thought it was a good idea to run alongside a slow moving cart instead. He doesn't do this on the cart path, just in our neighborhood, on the street where there is no traffic. We're not fond of the dog parks as you never know what you will encounter there so if you would like to come up with a better idea for exercise for a large dog, I would love to hear it.

My Poochiewoochie needums wuv and confection. I have a leopard pattern stroller for my cuddly wudldly. We take our babykins everywhere . Anybody want to come to my furry friend birthday party? Heeeeeez sooo cute.

OK OK I just had to do it :D

ENJOY :)

I heard from a very unreliable source that Tillman was moving to TV along with sister Tilly who rides around in a stroller.:angel:

To dog lovers everywhere, here's a video from your next door neighbor.

OH BOY!!! Or as you would say Gracie, "Boy Howdy"!!!

Now we will have posts on TOTV of Villagers complaining about bulldogs speeding on their skateboards, making illegal turns, not knowing how to drive in roundabouts, driving with their left blinkers on, shopping at Publix, etc etc etc
:1rotfl: :D :thumbup:

Yeah and probably saying that they are REALLY OLD and deaf too.

sigh.

And he may bring his float......I love that doggy.....:D

Not so nice of a comment
 

Calling people stupid is rather a harsh comment, don't you think. Many dogs don't do well on a lease, may be one reason they are being pushed around in a stroller...another reason could be medical...why do you care! Just be nice!

Do you think Cesar Milan can do for our complainers what he does for dogs?

Cesar would put a collar around your neck, strap on his funny-looking in-line skates, and make you go running, pulling him behind. No strollers for him!

However... these strollers are nothing new. Been around for over a decade up north. Some little dogs can't walk as far as their owners, who want to walk for their own exercise as well as their pooches'. It's an option, along with putting them in a backpack.

Can't do that with some dogs (see avatar...)

Most people who walk their dogs in a stroller is to get them out in the fresh air when they are physically unable to walk due to arthritis or injury. I have two dogs, one wants to walk miles, my other old girl can only go a short way, so when she is spent, in the stroller she goes. Both dogs get to go on the outing and have fun. I don't think a dog stroller is anyone's first choice but rather a necessity for an aging dog.

Crummybuttons: After 38 posts, I'm wondering if you still think strollers are stupid.

I really believe strollers are more for the human then the adult. I think many just want the attention of pushing around a stroller at the square and have people coming up to talk to them.Watch couple of them last couple of years and their behavior. Seems more of wanting to talk and show off their dogs.
