Ginger is always very attentive in posting to the list all upcoming changes to laws affecting us. I wonder how many of us really realize how widespread the trend is becoming. My husband and I have been looking for land to purchase. Don't care where. The only criteria we have is that it's in a dog friendly area. Our intention is to be able to have enough land to be able to condition our animals without having to pack them up and drive somewhere, to be able to have more than the city limit of 4 over 4 months if we choose, and for them to have ample room to run and play without disturbing anyone or endangering themselves. What we have come to learn is that it is darn hard and becoming harder every day. We have found some very nice pieces of property only to discover that they were either in an area or close to an area that had laws or were passing laws that are detrimental. Until we started looking we had no idea how widespread this problem is becoming. I suggest we all read Gingers posts and attempt to help whenever we can. We also need to be right on top of things in our own areas and work hard to oppose some of the legislation that is being passed. Or we ALL might be looking to for somewhere to move!!
