Poop Day?

Posted by SusanBonne on February 27th, 2007

How about organizing a park-wide clean-up day? Maybe a Saturday morning in April — April Poop Day? — where those of us who are interested could get to know each other and accomplish something by all working together. We could potentially even get sponsorship, free poop bags, etc. from a local Petco in return for [...]

Week of February 25

Posted by Devon & Chaz on February 25th, 2007

Nine inches of snow on Sunday morning and counting.  Chaz and I were among the first at the park this morning after the weekend snowstorm, and walking was a slog. There were virtually no trails yet, and I was wishing for a pair of snoeshoes.
If temperatures remain cold, it should be a great week for [...]

Points of Reference

Posted by Val and Jeff on February 19th, 2007

When we talk with our friends about the dog park (we’re almost always referring to the Airport Dog Park), we refer as follows:
the Other South Gate: The most easterly gate on the south fence of the MAC parking lot.
the South Gate: The gate off the MAC parking lot that’s a little further west and north. [...]

Week of February 18

Posted by Devon & Chaz on February 18th, 2007

Some of the paths are heavily beaten and icy. Cleats will help. Temperatures are warming slowly, and though there’s no sign of melting, the snowpack is wearing thin and is nonexistent in places. Thanks to the frozen conditions, though, dogs can play all day and still come home relatively clean (provided they don’t roll [...]

Questions for MAC

Posted by Devon & Chaz on February 17th, 2007

Do you have something you’d like to ask the airport commission? Some of us owners would like to sit down with them and try to sort out the garbage pickup situation. As long as we’re talking to them, we could try to get some other answers as well. Here are my two big ones:
1. [...]

2nd Time at the Dog Park Need Advice Please.

Posted by zoe55123 on February 16th, 2007

I’ve been to the airport dog park twice now. Each time it starts out great and then someone with a uncontrolable dog comes in and my one dog always seems to be the target. It’s become an unpleasant experience. I go to another dog park and everything is great. The last time I was there [...]

Week of February 11

Posted by Devon & Chaz on February 11th, 2007

Sunday:  After the temperature extremes of the past week, today felt practically balmy at 14 degrees.  There’s been very little thawing, even on bright sunny days, so the snowpack is still soft and easy to walk on.

The Poop Bag Pile-Up

Posted by Devon & Chaz on February 10th, 2007

I don’t know what to think when I see poop bags piling up at the fence corner where the garbage can used to be. Do people think there’s still a garbage removal service? Are they leaving the bags there with the intention of coming back later–and then forgetting? Or do they just not think?
I [...]
