The CC&Rs are ignored, the officers are non-responsive and no one wants confrontation. Some of us fight to keep the CC&Rs in what is probably a futile attempt to maintain our property values. Other than that it's only words on paper, unenforceable without lawyers and no one would spend the money. Plus, the homeowners are well aware of the dogs running loose and complain to me because they see me with Bacchus rather than track down the owners who are rarely around.Mari Meehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322012728807169863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-8387732247005432642008-01-09T14:54:00.000-08:002008-01-09T14:54:00.000-08:00How about writing to all the members of the homeow...How about writing to all the members of the homeowners association?PinkAcornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890046314872288607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-3731822237643593802008-01-08T13:19:00.000-08:002008-01-08T13:19:00.000-08:00oops ...as in NOT happen.oops ...as in NOT happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-60707829327618647502008-01-08T13:17:00.000-08:002008-01-08T13:17:00.000-08:00Appear to me that is going to happen.Looks like it...Appear to me that is going to happen.<BR/><BR/>Looks like it's going to take a 'village' so to speak to raise the dog. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-86703056996629849862008-01-08T10:30:00.000-08:002008-01-08T10:30:00.000-08:00How about the owners abiding by the law?How about the owners abiding by the law?Mari Meehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322012728807169863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-48873157388405818862008-01-08T06:37:00.000-08:002008-01-08T06:37:00.000-08:00How about a pop gun - one that stings with corks?How about a pop gun - one that stings with corks?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-18019485013536480022008-01-07T19:26:00.000-08:002008-01-07T19:26:00.000-08:00Steb, We haven't gone to pepper spray because we d...Steb, We haven't gone to pepper spray because we don't want to inadvertently hurt the dogs, ie: burn their eyes. <BR/><BR/>Stickman, I don't want a full scale confrontation while Bacchus is leashed and the other two are not. I also don't want the ensuing vet bills! Bacchus would probably get the worst of it even considering his size - he doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body. Rambunctious, yes. Aggressive, no. So that forces me to keep my distance.<BR/><BR/>I don't need a tumble either! These old bones, don't you know!<BR/><BR/>Thanks you guys.Mari Meehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322012728807169863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-83534561475129950992008-01-07T19:25:00.000-08:002008-01-07T19:25:00.000-08:00Bless the 'pooh fairy' some people just should not...Bless the 'pooh fairy' <BR/>some people just should not have pets... and the shame of it all is as you said, it isn't the dogs fault, it is the owners.Word Tosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519547102435672497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-7109084231270189012008-01-07T18:51:00.000-08:002008-01-07T18:51:00.000-08:00Pepper spray could be an answer, but not something...Pepper spray could be an answer, but not something you would do. I am married to the 'pooh fairy' as you know, she walks almost ten miles every day around Tubbs Hill and beyond. She runs into many people who care not what their dogs do, but has to live with it if she is to continue on her walks. She picks up at least ten bags of pooh each day, others of course, and runs into many people who allow their dogs to run free, they see nothing wrong with that. She does, as most dogs are friendly but Charlie is defensive and will always protect her. She will mention things sometimes, like please put your dog on a leash, and she will give you the evil eye if you don't pick up the poop that your dog just left, so I call her the 'pooh fairy' and she is content with that. But, everyday, she runs into people that haven't a clue how to handle their dogs or why they should pick up after them. It's our society I think, and she has a very good attitude about it. If they haven't a clue, then she will clean up after them and try to hold her tongue. It's hard sometimes, but I guess my advice to you is that everyone isn't as concerned as you are with animal things. Enjoy your walks, and don't let the ones that haven't a clue bother you. They will anyway, but please don't let it destroy your day. Nothing is worth that.
