Which is precisely why, when the hubby and I were hunting houses last year,
we wouldn't even LOOK at a house with a "HA" fee.  I thought that was
appropirate - HA fee.  Yeah, like we're gonna pay a homeowner's association
fee so they can run me out of the neighborhood when my kids are too loud, or
my dogs don't look like everyone else's dogs, or I decide to get a fence put
up so the neighbor's cats don't crap in my tomato plants.  Doubt it.

Sheesh - you really don't get it, do you?  You're only allowed to have
*plastic* dog poop.  That way you can have just the one pile, it doesn't
stink or draw flies, and it's really easy to pick up.
 
But try telling *that* to the dogs.
