I don't think I would be "approved"...

I'm not one to leave my dogs out to bark at everything that moves. They are indoor dogs and I don't want to hear my dogs outside barking any more than somebody elses dogs. That said, I just take issue with the HOA acting as if they or animal control has the legal jurisdiction to enter my property and take my dogs for barking in my back yard. If they're out roaming the neighborhood, I have no grounds to complain. But I will tell the HOA board they have no grounds to demand that my dogs be impounded.
