We Love Our Dog

We love our dog. He is small, yet whenever we come home he greets us with wagging tail, leaps of excitement, and all is right with his world, and ours too. Since our children live quite a distance away, all of our affection is lavished on him. Call us "over the edge", but he is now very much a part of our family. He has his own place to sleep, his own dishes, a sweater or two, and of course, lots of toys. We worry about his health, as well. For instance, he has vet appointments for all his shots, medication to keep parasites away, and Benedryl for allergies. His vet bills are probably more than our doctor bills.

Dogs are especially a good thing to have if you want to get some exercise, or meet some neighbors, or if you need a little company, there's Fido, right by your side. I sure wish the author(s) of the VNA One covenant rewrite felt the same way.

Personally i feel at this stage of the game from all that i have seen with the actions taken by the so called members of ( Our Gang ) the Dogs would perform a better job on the board than the latter.

From the tally the Association has put on its website, it appears a majority of our dear neighbors agree with the strict anti-dog restrictions of the rewrite. I will keep that warm sentiment in mind when I walk Dixie in this friendly neighborhood. I don't know much about our Board members, but I bet very few, if any, of them have a dog (thank goodness for the dogs). If you want to regain your basic civil rights and live like a free American Citizen again ... get out of Venetia.
