>Just a thought, if dogs are considered property, then how can the >"powers that be" come in and tell you what to do with your dog and/or >take away from you? >Anne, TN The same way they tell you how many cars you can park in your yard. Whether and what type of fence you can have. Same way they can tell you that you are going to sell your home so a new mall can come in. Your property may be yours to do with as you please, but only as long as it conforms to locally established guidelines (laws). Why we need to stick our heads out from the kennel occasionally and pay attention to what our neighbors are passing.
