Wow...it has grass in the birdcage, looks like real grass. Go to Villages site and type in San Pedro on the line for the street. It is the first one.

Great price too.

This is not true. Your dog must only be on a leash if they are on "common property". Their are NO TV covenants or city / county laws that require you to have your dog on a leash on your property.

I suggest you hit the Search button on the blue line above, and type in "invisible fencing". You will find a ton of information.

Please provide actually covenants or city / county law that prevents your dog from "running free" on your property ... tks.

Gosh it seems like we have alot of dog owners on this site but I feel we are restricted with regards to the dog's waste! Good Lord, the dogs need to relieve themselves, weather they do it in the yard, in the birdcage or the lani. Why does it have to be so hard. Dogs are wonderful companions. I would not have made it thus far without the assistance of a cannine buddy. If I have to fight to allow my dog to pee and poop on my property I will do it. Restrictions? Give me a break, look at the big picture, cannines keep us on this side of the looney bin. :-)

The following is what the Sumter County Code says on leash laws:

County Code 4-10 states that all dogs must be confined on owners property at all times or under direct control or on a leash when off the owners property.

Otherwise a citation will be issued for the animal running free.

Wording up for interpretation as usual with legislation. Confined and Under Direct Control can mean many things to include NOT being on a leash. My dogs are trained and respond to my voice commands, i.e., Under Direct Control and won't leave the yard unless I tell them too, even to chase a squirrel. But "a leash when off the owners property" is black and white.

Bottom line...you're responsible for your dogs actions! So, if in doubt what your dog will do when your neighbor or neighbors dog is outside, contain them one way or another.

LndLocked .... You are absolutely correct. Dogs don't have to be leashed on your property, but they do need to be under your control and "confined". For a lot of people, this means leashes or invisible fencing. Dogs need to be well trained not to leave your property, or be supervised, but not necessarily tied. Sorry, I mispoke.

If you get your birdcage built along with your house, it must be done by T&D and they have specific rules about the (very small) amount of the surface that can be dirt instead of concrete.

However, if you build your birdcage AFTER YOU OWN the house, you can use any contractor and can design the interior any way you want. The contractor takes your design through the Architectural Review Committee process, where they look at the exterior only. They do not care what you do inside as long as it is structurally sound (i.e, you need a concrete footer under the base of the cage.)

We built a large birdcage with a beautiful garden inside, along with paving. Our dogs love it and so do we.
