Now really, I do not think this place would empty out right away as you said.I see that you do not agree with the villages looking into this matter.Seems like the villlages could come up with a good solution,sorry that you believe they could.

You're right, it wouldn't empty out right away, say only 10,000 people felt that strongly, it would take a while to sell that many homes, there would be a glut in the market and the ones who reacted first would get their money back. Everyone else would take a beating.

I don't see TV looking into this, why would they?

"YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID" gets my vote.

Personally, I ALWAYS take my dog out in OUR yard to do her business then take her for a walk.

Do accidents happen even after that? Once in a great while, which is why I always have "poop bags" with me.

I'm not a genius - just trying to be considerate.

JUST SAYING !

I agree all feces should be picked up. As far as walking dogs in the neighborhood , I would welcome such. As a pet owner myself, I have encountered an elderly woman who fell on her driveway and injured severely while she was trying to pick up her newspaper and had to summon a ambulance, all this took place while walking my dog. I now move her morning paper near her door every morning while walking my dog. I also keep watch on several of my neighbors homes because they are snowbirds while walking my dog. I have also noticed malfunctioning water sprinklers losing lots of water and have woke my neighbors up and notified them while walking my dog. I would hope I don't live in a neighborhood where confrontation is going to take place. I really like my neighbors and enjoy walking my dog. Some of the remarks in here are scary and sad but if it would help maybe placing a doggy bag container in certain areas might help. I would think it would be very beneficial and life saving to have such people who walk their pets in our neighborhoods as long as they clean up after them.

Well the no dog policy isn't going to happen, but it would be an issue TV"s could take up....A dog walking area in each village is something to look at, but with the price of property what it is that probably won't happen either..The major problem is there are areas where the property owner has very little yard and dogs have to walk for awhile before they go and when they go is up to the dog...Somebody always has something to say no matter where you go...Patio villas has very little yard, and condo's have none so the dog owner takes a walk...It never should be in anyones yard and when the dog go's whereever they go the owner should pick it up, but some won't...So, NOW WHAT ? Get your cell phone out and take a picture and warn them next time I will call the police...Take Action and do something,,,complaining does nothing ...

Well shouldn't she be aware of the nature of our existence here.
All dog owners should be shocked and distressed by this woman's actions.
No excuse for this kind of behavior.

Aside from being a MENTAL MIDGET, this woman has a sense of entitlement. Did she move the innocent dog OFF OF YOUR PROPERTY? I own 2 dogs... one is a puppy... and NEVER would I allow them on another persons property to relieve themselves. I also carry bags galore and clean up as we GO along... those of other inconsiderate people as well.The dog was likely uncomfortable and embarrassed and poor thing had to go home with this idiot.
woof;(. sorry.
