Dog Lovers - Need Your Comments (residents & visitors)

Six years ago my wife, myself and our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel moved from San Miguel de Allende to Zihuatanejo because we ALL fell in love with La Ropa Beach. We bought an expensive condo behind the Tides (now Viceroy Hotel)because we loved walking and playing in our front yard - La Ropa Beach. The last two years have been very unpleasant for us, having to deal with rude and officious people trying to enforce on us this new and unnecessary change of local regulation introduced by the previous administration. Whilst it is accepted that regulation regarding dog control and hygiene are acceptable, banning family members outright is draconian in the extreme. As I often, as a fulltime resident, meet with many visitors to La Ropa and the Viceroy Hotel, I can assure you that many regular visitors to this town have stopped coming as a direct result of no longer being able to bring their companion pets with them. My wife is now quite frightened to go with our dog to the beach, but I will continue to walk my dog in the morning and evening until I am either arrested, fined or succumb to the pressures of officialdom and place my Residence on the market and look for another beach to go and live on.
