I had thought about a driving school. The truth is if they had a driving school ONLY GOOD DRIVERS WOULD GO.

That should be common sense

You are new on here but dog poop threads are probably the most common posts on TOTV. They have been rehashed over-and-over again since TOTV started around 2005.

My dad had a simple answer for most important complex issues.

Your rights end where the other persons rights begin.

My reply was to the original post of a person objecting to people walking their dogs on her property.

OH AND AS I SAID AT THE START..................

It was also about peeing on columns. Dogs often poop on our lawn as well as pee. Most of the time the poop is scooped up but once in a while it is not.

The Postal Centers are there for people to collect their mail for the most part. People do visit there once in a while but it is often while sitting in their golf carts. Especially when it is really hot like May through September in the Villages.

Your spot on! One of the things about getting older, some of us learn not to sweat the small stuff.

Dog parks are for dogs to be unleashed. There is no law prevents dog owners to walk there dogs on leashes anywhere on public property or streets unless there a city ordinance with signs. . You have the right to keep them off your property, but you have no control anywhere else. End of story. I sorry you have few LAZY DS in your neighborhood. I guess I am lucky, my neighbors are great.

TOTV members can surely be inconsiderate at times. Why shoot the messenger??? The OP has stated his experiences and the attacks begin, including “sell baby sell” from Topspinmo. TOTV is also a place to vent ones frustrations with TV and it’s residents. Allow your fellow villagers to express their concerns without resorting to “sell baby sell.”

The OP never said EVERY dog owner in EVERY village within the boundaries of The Villages, FL are bad owners. If you are a responsible owner, good for you and God bless you for respecting your neighbor. But we all know TV is not made up of 150,000 saints.

I have been taking a dog to Lynnhaven Postal Center since January 2007 and I have NEVER heard any complaints about some dog peeing on a column. Uncleaned dog poop or poop in the trash cans yes but not pee on columns.

little dog pee smells just as bad a big dog pee!

Also pick up after your dogs its not a hard thing to do.You flush after you go its the same thing.There is nothing more disgusting than stepping in dog poop.Dog ownership in the villages is a privilege not a right so stop abusing it just like the buffalo dog ownership in the villages can disappear.

Let's get back the first post. Dogs and cats will never disappear from the Villages. They are an integral part of recreation and life in the Villages. You just have to deal with the fact that dogs poop and many of the homes in the Villages have no fenced in yards. A lot easier to take care of a pet when you have a doggie door and a back yard to use.
