We also have this problem, as well as some residents with restricted
agility. Dogs have used the cork walkway through the commonhouse but are not
allowed to  linger so no one complains. This area is easy to clean. A really
frisky pet would not be allowed. And cats are not allowed, even carried,
because the allergies to them are just too great.

I must say we do have fairly compliant residents. Once people understand
_why_ someone objects to such and so, it stops. Or sometimes what people are
afraid _might_ happen never does so they relax.
