Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Enclosed yards

[Linda Hobbet (coho]

Hi,

At Village Hearth Cohousing we allow members to fence our very small 
back yards. I'm surprised you don't have back doors. I think most areas 
require two entrances/exits by code for safety reasons. Do you have some 
space that is allotted for private front yards? If not, would it be 
possible to let your dogs out on a short tether for the morning pee? 
Mine will always poop on their morning walks and I imagine your 
community won't be happy if it isn't picked up immediately.

We are also planning a small dog park, but that won't help with your 
issue. I would say that in community it's not a problem to go out in a 
bathrobe for that morning dog walk.
