    "What I don’t particularly like is that some homeowners stand in front of their house door and watch you the ENTIRE time you’re walking your dog as if they believe you won’t pick up after yourself which is the furthest from the truth as I always pick up after my dog. Other than that it’s a dog friendly neighborhood. "
