The Privileged.

This morning while cleaning my garage a nice young lady who appeared to be in her mid 30's walked by with her dog and no leash. I asked "where is your leash" her response was to flip me off. I guess she is one of the privileged people here in TV that don't have to be concerned about deed restrictions. My dog would like to walk without a leash also but never has since moving here.

My wife was pleased to hear...that someone thinks she's that young.

Is this the dog with a Frisbee in it's mouth? I love that dog.

Just curious; was the dog in your yard (or someone else) or threatening you? Why do you care if not?

Sometimes people try to help people. Not your thing, keep you head down and your mouth closed.

I am one of those people, maybe the only one, that believes in following the rules, rules and regulations that we all agreed to when we signed our deeds. I don't feel privileged or special enough to not follow the rules. If all of us chose to not follow the rules we would be overrun with dogs going where they want and doing what they want. Our dog while on his leash was attacked by a larger dog not on a leash, he suffered with his injuries for 6 weeks, the owner paid the vet bills but she did not have to watch him suffer and try to get him up to walk so he could do his business. That is why I care. By asking for the third time "where is your leash" does not deserve getting a finger thrown at you but at least I now know her true personality. There are dog parks where you can allow your dog to run free that is why they built them. I was hoping that she would soon start to obey the rules but I guess she chooses not to so now I'll go the other route and hopefully that will work.

She should care, because it's against the law. She might actually be saving the dog's life someday and saving that woman a ticket and a trip to court. In this mornings online Villages News;
A Village of Silver Lake resident was cited for allowing his large labrador dog to run free. A jogger reported that the dog chased after him and animal control responded and gave the owner a ticket.

Maybe you need to carry a weapon when you go for a walk.

At our golf course in Virginia, an unleashed dog came charging at me, so I took out a golf club and swung at him. The horrified owner quickly pulled their dog away.

When houses were being built in our neighborhood of Osceola Hills, I was harassed by unleashed dogs on more than one occasion. I started carrying a hiking stick with a sharp metal point when I walked, and it was useful.

The "Family" should build a Village strictly for those Privileged individuals, a Village with no rules or regulations. They can all live together and enjoy life the way they choose.

******** live everywhere, not just the Villages

You probably would have had better results calling the sheriff or animal control. Would be fun watching what happens if she flips off the sheriff.

I understand your point of view. I'm very sorry your dog was injured.
