Dogs do not belong at public gatherings such as neighborhood parties and they should never be allowed at the squares. As a helpful warning, do not walk your dog within 15 feet or so from the edge of the ponds or the dog (or you) could be an alligators next meal. Stay on the paved trail and you will be fine.

Well, at least the last part of your post was helpful...
