Don't get used to it, I wouldn't want your head to swell:1rotfl::beer3:

No, the rotf wasn't there because I seriously meant it. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while:1rotfl:

That's better. Now I can understand you.

Let me compliment you, that is seriously funny. That expression could join "Boy Howdy" as a TOTV favorite! :thumbup:

The one I like is:

Even a blind raccoon bumps into a dumpster once in a while. :ho:

Squirrels are cuter---oops , an unintentional 3 word sentence

Poop
 

I love dogies too but hate the poop and pee smell on my lawn - it would be great if folks would keep off - but then that would be the perfect world and we know that's not happening 😊

Everybody leases
 

Actually, everybody leases their property from the Government. If you don't pay your lease (taxes) it goes back to the Government for someone else to lease. Isn't this a great country or what!

OP, if you just always pick up your dog's "mess", 99% of TV residents could care less where your dog goes----with one exception-----On a hot crowded day at the Squares, many apparently would like for you to leave Fido home in the air conditioned house. There are at least a hundred Threads on this subject if you would like further details (just use the search engine) ---they are especially useful to read if you have trouble sleeping some night. Welcome to TOTV. :ho:

Clean after your dog, that is rule number one and try to keep your pets of others lawn. Not a pleasant feeling to step on pile of you know what.

Translation: Ir whem uyo thaceter thw rokcs ofr yht bekt.

To the OP. We do have guidelines here and rules and several laws. Most of us respect them and some NEVER, EVER, EVER, think about anyone but themselves. Now this could be a narcissistic personality and we should feel sorry for them, or it could be they were just not raised by my family.


It is all debatable. If you are a snowbird and your neighbor allows his dog to go in your yard, don't quarrel with him. Who knows what the SOB will do when you are gone? Most, I say most of the folks who own dogs are just like the folks who raised kids back when most of us were raising kids. Most of them feel a source of pride in their family and expect them to behave in a manner that makes others like them too, in fact they insist on it.


. AND some don't care at all.

100% accurate assessment.

And, my usual commentary.....it is unfortunate so much time and energy are devoted to discussing the "few" as though they were the general condition.
It isn't fair to the other 98% of us!

If you sincerely want to know the rules [so many would rather ask forgiveness that ask for permission, you know], you can start with reading your deed restrictions that you were given at closing. And when ready for more rules, you can always reference Village Community Development Districts for the rest of the rules in the Villages. HTH

This reminds me of a funny jersey shore story. [only meant to be funny--we had the same pride as you did,,Gracie]
When my boys were little and another teachers boys were little we were all invited to spend the day at a Jersey shore house. The department chairman that invited us was our age but he married into wealth including an Avalon shore house a block from the beach.
So little boys being little boys a little while after lunch came running to the moms in the beach chairs and said they have to pee. Well, our hosts did not have kids and the chairman's wife said to go pee in the ocean. She was very classy and could not predict what would happen. The boys protested and the moms said it's fine, go do it, everyone does. They didn't wade into the water. They didn't know any better. They ran down to where the water meets the sand, dropped their trunks and followed orders.
Just the moms laughed.

Also 100% accurate.
