I think you can move with 3

Doesn't anyone else find it strange that anyone would report about a sighting that was seen...(IN SOMEONE'S BIRD CAGE)........I think I might report him or her as a peeping Tom.

is there a pet police that checks to see how many are moving in???

When I play golf I have a hard enough time concentrating on my ball let alone do a pet count along the way. I guess this also means I need to start wearing clothes out in the bird cage!!!

Leave a pet behind? Never! Bring your beloved dog and your two kitties. As long as your cats are kept indoors, which is a must because of predators, no-one will call the Cat Police. I know many people with multiple (invisible) cats. We've had three pets in our household since 2007. Sadly, this year we lost our 20 year old Himalayan. Now we have two very visible dogs.

From everything I've heard, that's unofficially true or even a few more. But you can't obtain a new pet until you're under the two limit.

Actually, I think there aughta be a rule that you can't bring a dog into TV until you get FUMAR to allow your dog to lick his face!

Bring all three.

Who is checking all homes for the number of pets?? I have yet to read here or anywhere else of someone having to get rid of a pet. Are we making a mountain out of a molehill????

Common Bogie, no ones making a mountain out of a mole hill. An honest questions was asked and unless I missed something sincere opinions are being given!

Addition: Well, after going back and checking again, perhaps there was one post that could be interpeted as making a mountain out of a mole hill. To me it wasn't enough of an issue for me to even noticed when I first read it! Anyway, bottom line is I agree with you about the original question about number of pets.

So, If I say that you can have 6 dogs and two cats......that would be accepted. Oh wait, I think it really is 4 cats and two dogs.
My point is all of these "opinions" are just that, someone's guess as to what the rules really are.
The deed restrictions say two pets.................when did you see that enforced??

[gerryann]

You're making a huge mountain out of a very small molehill.

[duffysmom]

DayZee there is absolutely no reason to leave a pet behind. Two cats and a dog are perfectably acceptable. As mentioned I have never heard of anyone challenging a pet owner about having too many pets; there are so many other more important issues to deal with here in TV. An elderly dog would fit in perfectly. In my neighborhood I've seen some very old dogs being loveingly walked by their people and I've seen some very old people being walked by their dogs as well, so come on down and enjoy paradise.

Yes, but can you have three moles as pets if you have a big enough molehill?
Does anyone know how big the molehill needs to be?

[mulligan]

mountainous

[jimbo2012]

I really can't see how it can be enforced what so ever,
no one has the right to come into your home and count?

Can you be stopped walking your dogs asking for ID,
no way enjoy your pets all of them, they enrich our lives.

I got a question, if I had a fish tank am I only allowed 2 fish.

OMG, Dayz,,,, don't even think about leaving anyone behind. OMG, my heart is breaking.... you will be grandfathered in with all your animals. Believe me, I came with 3 very bad little schnauzers, and was welcomed with all 3. I was told though as one passes, you can't replace it. I knew 2 were old already, 15 and 16, and that they didn't have much more to go and when they did pass, I replaced them with another schnauzer. So now I'm in compliance. Please do not think of leaving your wonderful pets behind. Looking forward to meeting your WHOLE family.... Kath
