I would like to call all dog owners to look at their deeds and restrictions that they agreed to and signed when they bought their homes. At least in Santo Domingo, but probably throughout The Villages, you are only allowed to have one dog per household. In the Santo Domingo 'Declarations of Restrictions' it is item 2.23. I can't tell you how many dog walkers I see with more than one dog. Where do you go to complain about this and make these people follow the restrictions?

[dillywho]

If they are not bothering you, why do you care? Maybe some are dog sitters and prefer to walk more than one at a time. BTW, my papers don't say how many.....just that they are not to be a nuisance and does not say anything about dogs....just pets. I don't think just being seen can be classified as a nuisance. (Hope I spelled that right.) IMHO

The overall Deed Restriction document for The Villages does not mention a number, but at the end of that document there is a sentence that states that it is a summary and please take the time to read your Declaration of Restrictions for complete details of your responsibilities.

So - where I live it reads (in part) like this:

Section 6. Birds, fish, dogs and cats shall be permitted, with a maximum of two (2) pets per Homesite.

So you better not put two fish in that fish tank if you have a dog.

Well, my Santo Doming restrictions specifically say dogs are limited to one per household. And they do bother me because these 'peopel' let their dogs pee in my grass. How obnoxious can you be. And don't tell me it doesn't hurt the grass. I've owned dogs and the grass turns brown where they pee. Also it's illegal to have the retractable leashes. They are limited to a certain length, I think 7 feet and are not to be retractable.

Are you located in Santo Domingo S2-604? If so I see 2 (two) dogs in the deed restrictions. (Located at http://www.districtgov.org/slcdd/dee...mterCounty.asp)

I'd like to place my vote in the poll survey under Section B part A:

Section B ....... Get a Life
part A ...... who cares?


World global warming, Middle East castastrophe, unemployent at an all time high, economic meltdown and now we got to worry about how many dogs and where they pee. Write a letter to Al-Quaida and the Taliban. Ask them what they would do.


Geeeeeesh!

Back to the original question -

Try calling Community Watch at 753-0550 and see what they have to say.

Or try Sumter County Animal Control at 352-793-1470. (Our Covenants and Restrictions states, "All city and county pet ordinances should be adhered to." Ask them about the specific pet ordinances and hopefully they can explain to you exactly what your neighbor's dog can legally do/not do on your yard.)

Or call an attorney - wait - that's will keep the attorney's wallet green, not your lawn.

I think that dogs should be allowed to run free and grandchildren should be leashed...

In your first post you advocated for dogs to run free and to leash the grandchildren. I think that you and Michtofla might be the same person.

You don't have to take behavior like that nor must you restrict your reaction to coming onto forums like this and carping. If, indeed, 'peopel' allow or, even worse, encourage their dog(s) to pee on your lawn, then by all mean, follow those individuals home and pee on their lawn. There is a symmetry to that response that will bring justice to the world.

I agree, as I usually do, with Barefoot.

I am puzzled when I read things like this and wonder where so much animosity comes from toward dogs and dog owners. I don't have a dog, we have cats, but I so enjoy seeing dogs taking their owners for a walk and I love to visit my friends who have dogs so I can pet them and play with them.

I have to think that people who feel like this are afraid of dogs. I am almost 70 and I have never had a dog behave aggressively toward me. Perhaps I am just lucky that I have never had one scare me.
