Our local paper carried an article explaining that our town’s dog park had to be “temporarily” closed due to “human disputes among each other ranging from complaints of religious prejudice between multiple parties, to defamation, to stalking and more on the park grounds.” It was not immediately clear how a visit to a dog park, customarily a rather pleasant time for both pet and his/her human, could possibly be a likely venue for an argument about religious prejudice but you may rest assured we will be eagerly awaiting the publication of the lawsuit which will be filed next week!
Reading further into the article, we (Winston and I) learned that our Commissioner had set in motion plans to open up parts of a large park minutes from our home for a new dog park. Winston, being the gentleman we have trained him to be, immediately insisted on dictating a letter to me to send to the Editor of our local paper expressing his appreciation to the Commissioner. Below, for your edification and ,hopefully, amusement, is Winston’s letter to the Editor. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say I sincerely hope it gets published!
I am Winston, a Boston Terrier, and a lifelong resident of Gulf Breeze (Two years!). I just want to say thank you to Commissioner Wright for his efforts at opening a dog park at Tiger Point Park. I was so sad to see the that Shoreline dog park had been closed due to some patrons disagreeing about something. It is one of my favorite places and the humans I have met there have all been very nice to me. So, it made me so happy – my usual state! —to see the good news about a new dog park a short golf cart ride from my home where my humans live with me!
Thank you!
Winston
As we often say here-and more and more as the years go by!— live long enough…..!
The Park Authorities should have banned the multiple parties from access to the Dog Park, since these humans don't know how to behave in our DOG PARK!
I find it amusing that our pets have more common sense than then their owners. When getting into a debate, remember, it's an OPINION base on who presented the facts to the individual AND his ability to ANALYZE them to his life experiences. But the dogs deserve a treat for showing their composure.
