Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Dog Park If anyone lives near El Dorado Park in Long Beach, on facebook for the parks and recreation they have a discussion page. I would love it if people would say we would like a dog park, and maybe a separation for small dogs. This is probably a shot in the dark, but never hurts to ask??? Thanks Mary

We just have such a large park down here, that a dog park would not be any big dent in the park. So I am going to make it my goal to keep pushing for a dog park.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I hope they see the light and add a dog park! If you need any help convincing them, let me know! I can help make phone calls or circulate petitions. I lived in Long Beach for a while. Just moved 3 months ago. And there are A LOT of dog lovers! I think you'd have tons of support!

they have a ton of dogs in the area. I would like to see it be a Pay by the year so it is maintained and maybe volunteer on the hours open and also maybe agility equipment. Would that be the nicest dog park ever. I am taking suggestions, so please let me know what you think??? I just retired so I am looking for things to do with my girls and this would be a dream come true.

| Be careful what you wish for! Dog parks are a great idea! But unfortunately they can be trouble also. One would think "responsible" dog owners would clean up after their dogs, especially since most parks have ample waste disposal tools. Not so! I've been to a half dozen or so parks and I always find the same issue; DOG POOP EVERYWHERE! I've observed dogs with open sores, bleeding butts, and "who knows what" types of skin maladies! Yikes! Since my little Zena usually igonores all the dogs anyway, we've stop taking her to dog parks, opting for regular dog friendly parks instead. Dog parks can be a hotbed of filth and disease and IMHO it is not worth the risk to our little Zena. My nickel's worth. |
