The leash law still applies within the confines?

The signs were put up before the park. I"m sure the dogs can run loose inside the park! It wouldn't make sense to have the park, otherwise. ;D

There is hopefully going to be another "legal" dog park by the Springdale pool. We are working on it but it will be slow going. PLEASE everyone obey all the rules on the Paradise dog park. That is the test one and "the powers that be" are not adverse to putting up more parks if that one works well.

Villagerjudy .. That is hugely encouraging as I am a big fan of dog parks and feel they will solve a lot of the existing animosity toward dog owners. VJ, please e-mail me if I can be on any committees or help in any way to get this accomplished.

To those of you using the Paradise Dog Park ... please, please operate within the rules and clean up after your dogs. You've been given a gift by the Villages, please treat the park with respect.

Hi dog lovers,

Can you tell me where the dog park will be? Our sales rep told us a dog park would be available this summer but I don't know where. We'll be in TV in July renting until our house is finished in September. We have a **** Tzu and our concern is making sure there is a place for him to play and meet other dogs. My husband and him walk with three other dogs every morning (at 6:30 if you can believe). I think I read about another open area (by a lake) for dogs. Our house will be in Hemingway. Thanks a million.

The Dog Park at Paradise Lake is at the end of Paradise Drive. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/Post+Of...64:0::/io:0:/e

You can see where it will be on this Mapquest page. On the upper left corner of this map it is just to right of N US 27 S. It is where Paradise Drive dead ends at its southern most point. The closest intersection is Wales Plaza and Paradise Drive. If you click on the N on the compass on this Mapquest page you should see the intersection of Wales Plaza and Paradise Drive.

Do not forget about Doggie Doo Run Run. Here's a map of it. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/12971+C...FL+34484-2943/

Great news! :bigthumbsup:
Benson (pug)and I will probably still use Doggie Do Run but there are so many dogs in the Villages -we need all the dog parks and walking area we can get.
Bare and Nomie, Count me in as a doggie date sometime.

I am so happy about the new doggie park. And actually the idea of a bird "fly" wasant half bad either. We will be waiting MC.

Did Boomer come up with the idea of putting a dog run by an archery range? She is a sick puppy, what with her metaphors, similes, analogies, idioms and all them other things. She even admits that one of her aliases is "Cruella DeVil"!!! Next she'll be proposing a grandkids playground around the hazardous chemical dump the developer is putting in south of 466A.

The new Paradise Lake dog park-- opening Monday June 9-- is on the South side of the archery range. When I drove by it, the targets for the arrows were at the north side of the archery range.

AHA MUNC!

You are a wily one, you are.

But I caught you! Indeed I did!!!

Besmirching my good name in a completely different thread!!

Now, for the rest of you: If you wonder or care what is going on please, please cross-reference, if you will, to the thread about paying off the bond. In that thread, I was holding forth about why we will not be paying off the bond. To make a point about real estate price reductions, I used the expression, "If you have to cut off a dog's tail, don't do it an inch at a time."

And Muncle wrote therein, "BOOMER AIN'T NEVER BABYSITTIN' MY DOG!!"

And I responded.

And then I had to go to sleep. It was late last night. But I tossed and turned in terror that everyone would think that I cut off dogs' tails.

And then this morning, I just had to look. And here I am besmirched, besmirched, besmirched.

But I love dogs. At this very moment, my geriatric dog is sleeping on the floor beside me here in the kitchen. And she has a glorious tail. Many, many years ago, we took in our darling dog when she was lost and afraid and peered in our back door. We tried to find her owner. We could not. And we were glad. So we decided we would keep her. And we knew at the time that if she lived a long life, she would become the dog of our dotage. And Mr. Boomer and I PROMISED each other that we could never call each other "Mommy" and "Daddy" to the dog. And our once orphaned dog (Annie is her name) has lived a long and happy and spoiled life. And we long ago broke that promise we made to each other. And now here I am. I am so upset that I am even writing all in one paragraph again. Trying to defend myself. Trying to convince everyone in TOTVland that I am not, I repeat AM NOT, Cruella DeVil. And it is all such a complex web now. And all I did was use figurative language. And you know what? I would do it again. Yes, I would. But I would never, never cut off a dog's tail.

Oh, and back to you Munc, you and your guerrilla tactics. Going under cover. In a different thread. AHA. I caught you.

And thanks, Munc. I have been wanting to use the word "besmirched" for a long time.

This is way too much fun. But I have to leave this glowing screen for awhile. I have stuff to do and now it is starting to storm anyway so I better turn this thing off.

So Muncle.

Boomer says, "Uncle." . . .for now. . .

[villages07]

Boomer,

Maybe it is time to resurrect the TV Soap Opera thread and create a role for the evil Uncle Muncle :verymad: ....you could get your revenge there and become unbesmirched. ;D

Darn it! Fireboy is an archer and was hoping the Buffalo would be moved to the dog park area. Easier targets than dogs. Those jack russells move way too fast. OK OK, stop muttering. Like Boomer I love animals more than anything!

Muncle, be careful or they'll be putting your picture on the archery targets.

Here is an article from June 10, 2008's The Villages Daily Sun about the new Villages dog park-- http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/a...villages01.txt
