rick – That depends. Is the leash optional?

“Retarded” not to have more dog parks. This guy has less class than his boss.

Funny stuff elbow. Also love the Rock reference.

So wise Latinas make better judges and gays do a better job of home remodeling. Who knew? So how do you explain lesbians with Weiner Dogs?
rick
that is just……………hilarious. Thanks for the daily laugh and smile.

Smartman – could be worse. We could have Kay Barnes. She only cost the city a cool $2 MIL.
rick
Is it just me or in the picture is one dog sniffing another dogs butt?
hearne
Rick: it’s you. Look closer!
rick
I think you are right. So why are you sniffing my butt? I thought you just sniffed Craig’s?

Sunnyside Park was the wrong choice for so very many reasons, it is too small, it is too close to a heavily travelled thoroughfare, it already contains too many activity areas to include a walking trail, basketball courts, several ballfields, a children’s playground and sprayground, several tennis courts as well as several picnic areas. Those neighbors surrounding the park and a majority of residents in the immediate area were not receptive to the idea, nor were businesses around the park onboard with it either. Let us not forget the bad behavior exhibited by those in favor of the idea namely many WOOF members and their leader Deb Hipp, who advocated harassment of the Boardmembers and also used a deceptive campaign for the idea and often used downright untrue and/or derogatory language about those opposed to her and her group’s ideas about the park.

I believe in the concept of dogparks (well thought out and objectively planned out with the whole community in mind) and am a multi dog owner. I have worked for the Parks Department (and they are the Pros at what they do), I am a nearby resident of both Sunnyside and South Oak parks. All that to say, I with all sincerity, say that each and every Board member as well as those on the Parks Department’s Planning and Executive staffs deserve a hearty congratulations for making what might be condsidered by some a controversial decision. It was the right choice!

I applaud the Parks Board for making a wise choice in the selection of several of the City’s parks to add dogpark areas to, but more specifically I say they deserve a well earned pat on the back for not choosing the controversial Sunnyside Park. The Board by not selecting one of the Dog Park Task Force’s(which it should be said was a very non-objective and heavily biased group)top choice for a dogpark, Sunnyside Park, showed the City and it’s citizens that it could not and would not be bullied into a poor decision. You have made the right decision!!!
