Default The Villages should remain friendly to dog walkers/owners/lovers...

...and get something like these for places where dog owners take their pets. Pet waste stations and dog waste stations for municipalities, property managers, parks, dog parks, apartments, condos and more!

And they love to stick there cute little nose right down in the grass to get a better smell of what was deposited there!Then when the little darling is done doing his business, he jumps into the cart/car without cleaning his feet! Sometimes he even gets to sit on the owners lap for the drive home and gives his kind master a nice lick and nuzzle for being so kind! And to think I use a germicide to wipe down a grocery cart handle!
This is exactly what I think. The dog can walk worms and other parasites, not to mention e. coli from the dog manure they walk in and sniff, into the house. Then you go barefoot in the house and can get worms and parasites thru the skin on the soles of your feet. Worse yet, dumb people let the dog lick their ice cream cone or their face (and then take pride in eating only "organic" or vegan diet). Totally brainless.

This is why we don't walk our dog to the postal station, where there are 5,000 pee spots to sniff and doodoo on. There are miles of other places to walk the dog....AFTER it's done most of its dooooty in your OWN yard.

There is a solution that is absolutely free of cost and does not inconvenience non-pet owners. Bag the stuff and take it home for disposal.

I have to agree.

I don't have a dog of my own but.......

I love a lot of doggies who belong to my friends and neighbors and they do just that. And I would do just that if I had a dog. My kids and my pets are NOT the responsibility of others. I take care of my own and I try to not let my kids and my pets bother other people so that my kids and my pets grew up being liked by others.

Is that political?

My dogs mess is no ones responsibility but mine. I am really tired of all these supposed "dog lovers" carping about their rights to allow their pets to do their business when ever and where ever they please. Provide pails, provide bags and then leave it at the postal station ??? Give me a break. First off, no one is supposed to walk their dog on postal station property. It is not anyones job to help you walk your dog and then ask everyone else to pay for supplies and endure the stink. I am a true dog lover, heres how I treat my good friend. I walk her on my property, I pick up, then I put her in my golf cart and take her to our favorite spot where she can run and get all the exercise she needs. She knows if she does her business, then its time to go play. Because I love that dog, I do my best to see that she is not a problem for others. Maybe that is why so many of our neighbors stop at our driveway just to play with her. Good dog, no problem.

I know THIS will cause more commotion! So what do you do when you SEE a dog and it's owner walking on mailbox, or other public property and doing it's business? Goodness knows we see it every day. They drive to the mail stations and use the grass behind the station by the courts. Do you:
1) Stop them and ask them politely to pick up the dog poop and carry it home
2) Remind them of the clean up and watch
3) Call CW and turn them in with their golf cart/car description.
Get the DNA of the dog so they know it was theirs
4) Do nothing, knowing it won't make a difference. ok, ok.. hit me now
5) Walk away in disgust. Again knowing people

Also incur the wrath of those you do say something to, or the ignoring of those people when you tell them, or the "what's the big deal attitude" if everyone else does it!

Ewwww, some people still lick their golf balls to clean them, or their fingers and rub the ball clean. Just think if that ball landed in or rolled though a dog log. But, maybe you could use it to tee the ball up for a better shot!

I can't believe it is another dog poop thread. I really can't. Is there any aspect of dog poop that has not been thoroughly debated?

there are lots of other critters that roam the courses after the ones with clubs golf balls and tees roam them - who knows what those golf balls hare encountered and/or rolled thru!

such a simple solution to dog poop at the mail stations - place signs at each station that state "no dogs allowed" and remove the trash cans! your dog's poop and your junk mail can all be deposited in the same trash can at home!

what could be easier?

I would only agree to that if they also fine the folks that allow their kids to poop in the pool and don't clean it up. Yep, happened last week at O'dell.

Geez. THAT'S another reason for one's own pool. I was talking to a worker who had just come from the theme parks and he said the neices/nephews and his kids were "bragging" on how many times they PEED in the pools/slides!
