It seems like everyone's idea of considerate is different? For example, I thought I was being considerate by keeping my dog behind the utility barrier on the back lawn of the guy on Bailey trail who yelled at me to move along. He didn't think I was.

Maybe it's because it's February and it's really crowded here. Tensions rise when people are crowded. Maybe that guy had seen 15 dogs pee in the same place. It would've been nice if he'd told me that or just said, "do you mind moving along with your dog?" instead of yelling at me and slamming his door.

We do come down here expecting all to be hearts and flowers and that's just not how life is, is it, everyone? We all have enough life under our belts to know that, but when it happens to you (me) it frankly hurt my feelings (big baby) and made me feel weird about walking my dog anywhere. It isn't dog friendly here in terms of turf and area and I wouldn't advise bringing a big dog here unless you can take him/her to a dog park, which is the segue into....

I agree! We need a dog park south of 466. There are sooooo many dogs here. I know there are petitions. How can we do this?

Peace and love,
