New Idea

Here is a big idea which needs your HELP.

For the next 30 days I want to post at least one picture a day of the dog run, as a visual state of the union or current status.

This means I need your help . Use your camera-loaded cell phones! Use your digital cameras! Sketch and scan! Take pictures of the dogs, the fences, the gates, the people, the yellow danger signs floating all over - and we'll use them to create a 'living' image of our dog run, people and pet space.

Email any and all images to amycreighton@bell.net

Happy barkin', clickin' and waggin;!

A new voice for the dog run

Yay to Cynthia Grahame for asking, yet again, when the gates at the dog run will be fixed, open/close, allow easy entry and exits - the usual litany of can you please fix what needs to be fixed?

On another note - with  the news that the pool is to remain open this summer, might this mean that the Lansdowne Dog Run is also going to get a reprieve from the mighty pool project excavation machine? Not that we have heard anything about relocating the run, or even the cycling path.

So what happens now?

it's early January 2011, new arena plans beckon...and what happens to our dog run in the meantime? There seems to be some goodwill and interest in protecting and safeguarding what we have - but here's the question - how do we turn what is interest and goodwill into tangible results? Can we ensure our dog run evolves into what we dream of and might need?

News from Mayor Trent

via Jean and Balzac.  Jean called City Hall, left a message for the mayor and within the hour was called back by hizzoner himself.  Jean then asked the Mayor about the future of the dog run and was told, point blank, that the dog run was there to stay. hmmmm.

We'll see. And if there is any disagreement about this- then the disagreer has only to write to redress the  erroneous information. Until then - it stays.
