By the way, please let me know when you start training your cats to walk on a leash with you at Market Square (or, anywhere else, for that matter). I want to come laugh!

I did train my pair, long ago in St. Louis, to go out in the back yard while my wife and I were working there. They learned quickly that having the leash on was the signal that they'd go out. But, then they'd go sit under the forsythia bush and never come out until we dragged them out to go back in! Typical of the feline mind, though!

My Omega would love to get out, but I think she'd absolutely freak out at a leash!

Now, this is not a good idea for the Villages squares.

Not a buffalo thread but...

the buffalo were living on land - land can be used to put up homes - homes can be used to bring cash - cash is king!

My dog is loved by us and all of our family and friends, she is our responsibility, and because we love her, we do not, I repeat, do not, bring her to the square's where she might annoy or be annoyed by folks that go to the squares for their enjoyment, other then the dog show. By the way, we never fed the Buffalo either but, we sure miss them.

Hey, folks get to show off their cars once a month at " A Cruise In " How about a " BARK IN " once a month, so we can show off our dogs?

Amen

Why is it when someone suggests a change in TV people start screaming "you knew the rules when you bought here!!!!", BUT
When someone talks about bringing their best friend (doggie) to the square, people scream, CHANGE the rules.. no dogs at the Square!!
So which is it?

Isn't that what the dog runs are for......"Bark In"? You can show off and not bother anybody.

We take our two Yorkies to the square, park, watch people and sit in our golf cart with them. We do not take them out of the cart. I would be a most unhappy owner if that privilege was to change.

And amenities should be used for bowling alleys, not golf courses
and car repairs in the driveway should be ok
and modifications to any home should be allowed
and and and and
dogs should be welcome in the villages!!

This is kinda like gas carts vs electric carts . . .

On many occasions, I've seen well-mannered dogs at the Town Squares with people lined up to admire and pet them. Such a relaxed and friendly environment. And people walk away with a big smile on their face after petting a dog.

Dogs bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. As long as people and dogs are well mannered they should be welcome at the Squares. Both people and dogs without manners should be banned.

I'm hiding under the bed now.

Are dogs animals?

Can we always trust what an animal will do?

I was looking at a picture of my class reunion (tintype) and I noticed that there were three people in the picture that had little plastic bags on their right hands and leashes in their left, their scholastic standing was at the bottom of the class.....the fact that their were only nine in the class is of little consequence...To be fair I should point out that five are fishermen...
let me say that I don't partake of either side , Thats why I was president of the class....Not because I was smarter , Its because I was different ,,
I remain so to this day.
NO DOGS IN THE TOWN SQUARES........

I thank you...... Fumar the magnificent

Boy Howdy. I can see a huge uprising about to happen. I am joining Barefoot under the bed.

After careful consideration , I believe people who would take a dog to the SQUARE should be banned ......
Stand back , This should be good......
