*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 30, 2010 ~

Oh, and just a heads up...
they aren't opening the other side until NEXT year!

Tell me this is just a delayed April Fools Day joke!

Where or How did you get this info?
Is there an "Official Notice" posted on the bulletin board?

Any references to a Board Meeting or some "reason" for this?

Maybe we should suggest they CLOSE half the District Office for a year.


What's next - Parking Meters in the lot? ... Coin Slots on the potty room doors?

The news has been streaming around the dog park. I hang around with a lot of the frequent visitors/regulars seeing as we're always there. And I kind of feel like they would have opened it already if they were planning on it because they were out there to hook up the hose and run it ALL the way along the fence to the side we are on.

No signs or anything about it... so maybe hopefully it's just rumors??? But I kind of get the feeling its not...

It's NOT a rumor ... I called Miz Margie in the Office ...

The PLAN is to:

1) They planted an OSU "Dawg Park Blend" of grasses designed for Dog Parks.

2) Seeding (of West side) was done last fall after the drains were dug in

3) "They" sugested NO Dawgs all fall, winter, spring, and summer to allow
. . the grass to develop roots and mature

4) Open the West side, CLOSE the East side in the Fall of 2010

5) Till & Seed the East side just in time for the grass to sprout and be
. . strong enough to srvive the 2010-2011 winter.

6) Do without the East side for most of spring & summer, 2011.

7) Tim B (my ole Buddy) the Parks Daily Manager, is retiring in June/July -
his Replacement has been chosen (it's a *seekrit*) and will be welcomed
aboart the Good Ship Hancock next week.

So goes The Plan ...

[MonicanHonda]

All right All right, we'll let the grass 'mature' Lol Interesting that dog parks have their own grass. Lol The dog park is going to be REALLY tiny after they close the side that's open now... because it's the biggest side. Lol Oh well, we'll be getting a pretty dog park I guess.

So, whas'sa problem here?

The Gathurin isn't till the 30th --- plenty of tyme to get home, comb your
and the Baby's hair, whip up a quick dish, and motor on over to the Park.

Bring the Kid - some of the Dawgs are very experienced at "Kid Watchin".

[MonicanHonda]

Lol, yeah, what Phred said! Just brush you hair and come on over!

[lbaker]

I must be totally dense, or maybe it's just a "blond/old thang" but I'm confuzzled So it's still on but the area for our dawgs isn't? Or just a small part is available? Are plans for attending and bringing our dawgs, and maybe a friend or two OK and good to go? Sorry

Last year they closed half of it to seed and put drainage in one side. We were hoping they would open it this year, but it looks like it won't be until next year/end of this year?? And then they are going to do it to the opposite side. But yes, everything is still on and good to go. We just don't get half of the dog park (But there is still a large area )
