Hey Coach, you sound like a male chauvinist pig. Your wife needs your permission to stand up for you? You don't deserve a wife, Coach. You sound a little creepy actually.

We have no problem with dogs wandering around, but we do get cats leaving feces in the back yard. I'd like to see them all tagged so I can call the owner to come pick up after their cat.

Mr. Perez can't tell if your cat never gets out, so they all have to be licensed.

I understand why outdoor animals require licenses. Why do cats that don't leave the house require licensing? I have some mice living here, also — I should pay a fee for them, too?

Sara:

Did you mention anything to your husband (a public employee) before posting that silliness?

I too am a public employee. If my wife posted something like that without my knowledge (not that I would allow any such thing) she'd have an excellent understanding of "budgeting" after I lost my job.

So does mean that the eateries in town will be required to license all the roaches and mice I see crawling around in their restaurants ?

I find it curious that people think this guy is "big brother." He's trying to do his job which is take inventory of the pets we are supposed to license. If the town council didn't use this info last year or the year before when it was gathered, I'm guessing they aren't going to use it this year for anything other than what it's intended to do. Of course, I just moved to New Jersey from Oregon and you guys could be totally right.
And by the way, where are the off leash pet areas? The closest one is 20 minutes away! There's the crime.

1. Of course the town is going to use this info to generate more $$$ from us pet lovers and cleaner-upers. I am waiting for my letter anxiously to see how much Pat & Co are going to whack us.

2. Sara, I am sure you hubby is a great guy. I actually had a nice little chat w/ him when he came through my hood. But I found it offensive that he asked me about my neighbors (and posed the same question to them) about what types of pets they have and other animals in the 'hood. That is just a little to "big brother" for most of us and a little unsettling.

3. Can this guy stake out my 'hood for the horse/dog that is crapping all over Garfield & Grant?

We'll see new rules requiring registration of ferrets, with a hefty fee.

Except maybe the ferrets will get a free pass from the weasels on the town council.
