Amen......I am a dog owner and would never take her to the squares. Especially when the fresh markets are open. Dogs do not belong in the squares nor do they like being there. When your dog is taken to a square and he is hot, thirsty, hungry, tries not to be stepped on and tries not to have some trip over him or his leash, did he really ask his owner to take him to the square? And what happens when your dog has to go potty while he is in the square? Our dogs are fabulous and we love to show them off. Do it in your village where he has room to walk and be greeted by the neighbors and the neighbors dogs. As far as the new dog park, Atlas Dog Park, below 466 A. You should come to the meetings on the 1st Wednesday of every month. The meetings are held at Eisenhower Regional Rec. Ctr at 7 PM. We had one person who decided to get us a dog park below 466 A. A lot of us joined in and have worked extremely hard to get this dog park started. 3,000 signatures were needed to get the dog park on paper. Meetings with John Rohan, bake sales, great speakers at our meetings. In finding a place for the dog park we had to complete a certain criteria. Keep in mind when the dog park is completed, probably late spring, early summer 2015, volunteers will be needed. Dog owners will be expected to clean up after their dogs. If not, you will be reported. This is going to be a beautiful dog park and the members of the RDOG3 are very proud to be a part of this project.
