This week's gone to the dogs

A surprising number of news stories this week centered around community associations and pets. Remember "pets" is the first of the three "p's" of association problems - pets, parking and people. Some of the stories were just sad - a blind woman cited by here association because she can't always "see" where to clean up after her guide dog - certainly shows associations in a good light. Another association is fining a woman $25 every time she walks her dog through the condo lobby rather than carrying it. The lady is 61, has a back injury and walks with a cane. You can guess how that story went. And, we have another story about "companion" pets.

Richard Ekimoto, in his Hawaii Condo Law blog, wrote two articles about companion pets that are worth reading. Here's the links:
