We are happy to hear from all of you who expressed interest in our coming Cooper Chapel dog run. We have hit some roadblocks along the way, but we are moving forward. We will report specific updates when we have definite news. Let us know if you would like to help us get this new dog park open as soon as possible.

 

We understand everyone's frustration with the muddy, swampy areas at some of our parks. It's a recurring issue for which we have tried various solutions over the years. Unfortunately, nothing is permanent. Some are sinkholes, which cannot just be filled in. We are also limited in what we are allowed to do, by the requirements of each park in which our dog runs are located. We plan to pump out water that is deep enough and then treat what is left with a pet-safe, environmentally-safe, plant-safe product, which is used in kennels, shelters, doggie daycares, etc. It kills everything from Giardia to Parvo to E. Coli, and much more. Now, if it would just quit raining and give us a break for more than a couple of days, we can do it. Again, we are all volunteers, most of whom have jobs, families, and personal schedules to work around.

 

 

We have repeatedly warned everyone about car break-ins. The saying goes that common sense cannot be taught. However, we do learn from experience. Each person must take some personal responsibility for their personal property and their own actions. A purse in plain sight is an invitation. Even hiding it or putting it in your trunk does not deter many thieves, especially when they see you hide it and then go inside the park. It takes a little more effort, but if they know it's in there, they will even break into your trunk. Just visit our Facebook pages for example. Leave your valuables at home or carry them with you inside the dog park. It may be inconvenient, but not nearly as inconvenient as reporting it, getting your car repaired, stopping purchases on your credit cards, getting them replaced, not to mention the loss.

 

See you at the park!
