gooeydog Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 We went to the park we volunteer at yesterday to drop some things off, and since it was such a nice day, took Annie along for the ride. We did some running, then when we got to the park, we ended up standing around talking (during this, Annie was in the car, we'd figured we'd just dump the stuff off and leave), so I went and got Annie out of the car and walked her over to where we were talking. The conversation turned to dogs in the park, and apparently there's going to be a new rule in place that does not allow dogs into any of the "developed" areas of the park; the wading beach, piers, trails in that area, etc. From what was said, there were a few problems with off leash dogs, and some complaints about dogs being there in general, so they'll be restricted to the trails at the entrance of the park. While it's not too big of a deal, it is kinda annoying that because of a few people, everyone is going to be punished. A lot of people walk their dogs down there because the park does pretty well making people keep dogs on leash, so I'd imagine there will be a lot of disappointed people. On top of that, in the past few weeks, someone's put out a bunch of surveyor stakes at the field around the block I take the dogs to to run. I haven't had the chance to ask around to see what it's all about, but the property belongs to a steel mill across the water from us, which recently changed hands, so it's possible a sale is in the works. The school field has been overrun with little leaguers (and other kids sports), so I haven't been able to take them up there either. On a more cheerful note, Goo got her head stuck in a chair last night. She was rolling around in it, and started scratching her head underneath the arm of the chair when her head slipped through and she was stuck :roll: . I noticed immediately, but couldn't get her out, it ended up taking two of us to get her free, at which point she jumped down and did zoomies from one end of the house to the other :lol: The things we go through with these dogs...

kendalyn Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 That's too bad about the park and your field. People don't understand how yucky it is to have a hard time finding a place to take your dog. :( I'm glad you were able to free Goo's head from the chair! I bet she looked very silly stuck like that :lol: Quote
