As I have mentioned before, our family (both human and dogs) recently moved to the suburbs of lower Antipolo in an executive village. We’ve been here for about three months only, and yet, we’ve gotten quite used to having neighboring houses that aren’t separated from us by tall firewalls. Even our dogs are getting acquainted with the neighborhood pets. Our neighbors are very nice, and probably each and every house on our street has at least one pet (mostly dogs).
This subdivision we transferred to has quite stringent “laws.” They’re pretty strict with security (no one without a village sticker may enter the gates without surrendering an ID no matter how expensive that person’s car is), and cleanliness (you get a fine if you or your household help got caught dumping garbage on places where you shouldn’t). Even owning dogs here have “guidelines”—you can’t let your pet out wandering in the streets. If you bring out your dog, he/she has to have a leash. If not, and unsupervised “wanderer” can be impounded by the village security—you will need to pay a fine to claim your wandering pet.
