Dog Parks are Re Opened....But
 

So, as of today, The Villages Dog Parks have all been reopened from 7a to 8p. ALL dog owners are required to wear masks and social distance when in the parks. Here's the But, went by Mulberry this morning several happy dogs romping around and having a great time. I'm sure glad to be back and off the lease.

On the other hand, not one dog owner was wearing a mask and several where all gathered together talking. This is the same reason they closed the pools, because some entitled Villagers don't think any rules that have been put in place should apply to them.

Things are being done slowly and carefully to return to some sense on normalcy around here and now a few will screw that up. And when the parks are closed again because the rules are being ignored, they'll be the first to complain.

I assumed you turned them in before you complained about them here?

It's not my job to fix stupid, just trying to stay as far from it as possible.

:what:

What genius made a rule for dog park enthusiasts to wear a mask as long as they social distance?

I don't think I would use the word "genius" to describe the idiot who dreamt up that rule

Just out of curiosity .. you said you went by Mulberry dog park .. Do you have a dog that you planned on taking to the park, or "just driving by " ??

You can’t really see the Mulberry dog park driving by, you have to go there.

I was in the golf cart.

There's no mention of face masks is the dog park rules posted in the rec news.

I think the terminology would be BURN. Did a drive by, didn’t read the article, and criticizing something you have no part in

Visited our dog park today with my mask in hand. The sign on the gate said that masks were "recommended" ONLY. There was no mention of them being required. There were a dozen or so people in the park and no one was wearing a mask. It is the same as using the outdoor exercise equipment. Most people wear gloves, use sanitizer, and keep a 6' distance. That's what I ended up doing today after talking with other people at the park.

If you can’t get people to wear mask in grocery store what make’s you think their going to wear one out in the fresh air?

Masks at the dog park is a far cry from “go outside in the sunshine, take walks” etc. Why would masks even be suggested? It’s each individual’s decision. Being at the dog park isn’t much different than people taking dogs for walks in their own neighborhood. If you maintain distance, IMO masks aren’t necessary. If a person chooses to stand close and talk to others while there, that’s their decision. If they don’t cough or sneeze in your face and you don’t touch each other How is that a problem? It’ll be one very scary time if everyone is required by law to wear a mask everywhere. That’s when I’d really worry.

Can't fix stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
