Just dogs because I've never seen anyone here complain about off-leash parrots, goldfish, or house cats.

Actually I’ve seen lots of negative posts about cats wandering free.
You're right about goldfish and parrots, although parrots can be noisy, and some parrots love to say bad words.
I think a Village without dogs would be a sterile and unhappy village.

If we ever met there would be no doubt. I'll have to check with Dear Abby (not our Abby) and see if two fingers at once is verboten. Men wear gloves usually not mittens. Try this on Google, you pointed out Google is your friend. (10 items of clothing that no man should be seen dead in - Telegraph) I would gratefully remove the GLOVES to salute you.

Makes me wonder, I don't think I ever had a cross word on TOTV'S for a woman. You would be the first. Anything you want to get off your chest? Your post popped up Mrs. Robinson, this is not meant for you.

Agree. In fact, there should be a village selling ONLY to dog owners.


I don't trust people who don't like pets.

I agree with you on people who don't like pets.

I'm surprised that idea hasn't been implemented somewhere in TV already.

Even recognizing that the idea is to sell houses to whomever qualifies is the only goal, setting aside even a few cul-de-sac's for it...could be a good marketing strategy.

One issue I can see however, could be a resident losing their dog and choosing not to replace them...so a 'caveat' needs to be in place to protect them.




In regards to men never wearing mittens, that someone in a post above mentioned should never be done...that simply means they've obviously never spent any length of time in actual cold weather.

The rest of the post was pretty unintelligible to me though...so no comment.

I think that might be the same girl who complemented me on my alligator slippers when I went out to pick up the paper this morning. I was barefooted.

How about draining the dog before the walk on their own property otherwise carry a straw because we don't deserve that part of someones dog either. Whatever it takes keep it where it belongs not on my property. I Love, Love, Love animals. Especially dogs.

Sorry, Nucky. You lost me as well as some others on this one, I'm afraid.
Can you be more explicit so we understand?

This works for me. A small sign "Please no pets" btw, love dogs, own one, and confession, took Moses to soccer field at a quiet time, got lazy, no lead, followed him with bag, low and behold, golf cart arrives with a dog and my alpha 13# dog charged, my bad, I'm the one with bigger brain (sometimes debateable), I apologized, lady was polite but I'm sure not happy with me, and who can blame her, learned my lesson now behaving myself.

I don't know which county you are in but in Sumter it appears that voice control is acceptable.

Yes, that is the county law. However, if you are fortunate enough to live in The Villages, our law says that dogs must be ON A LEASH!!!

Check your deed restrictions.

[billethkid]

I would like to hear from dog owners on TOTV who do walk their dogs and let them pee and poop on other peoples lawns....walking right past or out of their own property.

Can we please from you why YOU think this is OK?

As a dog owner who uses his own yard and do vociferously object to those who use my front lawn and not theirs....I should say used to....after turning on the sprinkler system when I see them out there.....not so much anymore!!

I think the Villages rules do not allow signs like that in our yards.

Some of our neighbors had signs like that and they have since been removed.

Owning a dog in the Villages,Other than a verified papered service dog amounts to animal cruelty
There no room to properly let you pet run and safely exercise do it business and follow community standards.
These dog parks harbor who knows what parasites fleas ect ect
again you see it everyday someone going down the cart path Fido on a leash running along side while owner sits in cart
..No potty bag in hand

Pushing the poor thing around in a carriage just to show off at the square is laughable, feel sorry for the poor thing

I have been a pet owner my whole life till coming here..
I could never subject a dog to such limited space heat it's the humane thing to do
