Can we make this town where there are no cars??? I don't want us to risk having any of them hit. In our "perfect" town, they should be able to have some freedom.

I Love this!!!!

Perhaps at the edge of town there should be a big parking lot, and everything in town, and all homes, will be accessible by some slow-moving public transit - maybe moving sidewalks, or, of course, horse and buggy!
What's the planner think?

I dunno about Southern California for a location, I'd worry about the bigger dogs who are bothered by extreme heat - our St. Bernard used to get heat rash every summer. Plus I'd worry about the smog. How about someplace more temperate?

Any WARM state is fine by me - we will have air conditioned pet kennels of course! I think I will start packing tonight......

[Karen]

Almost forgot for a second - maybe there needs to be some place for cars - how else would dogs get to stick their heads out the windows and pretend they're flying? Maybe there'd be a driver with a car with lots of windows just for this purpose, on a fenced-in track?

A long long time ago, I WAS a teller who used to give out doggie treats!!! I could do that, too, besides the Welcome Wagon!! This is fun!!

I want to be the kisser and the hugger!!!!! And the "spoiler"!!

I want to work at the Vet's office and take the pictures!!!
Sara and Becky could run dog training classes for those of us whose dogs are less than trained! (Or is that just me?)

Where should our town be? Guess we should ask our four legged friends. Maybe place a map on the floor and let them put a paw
where they think our town should be. You know, we are doing a lot of planning and hugging and kissing and we haven't even asked the objects of our devotion what they think. I laugh when I think of a "stranger" coming to our new town and all they find are cats and dogs on their backs waiting to have their bellies rubbed.

Come to think of it, I'd like to be the official belly scratcher.

Horses and buggies are a great idea!

This IS FUN.

Noooo, that is not just you.

My vote for locatins is Northern CA, Ashland, OR ...or Washington state! Not too hot, not too cold, yet up in the higher elevations you can get snow for those "polar dogs" ...hint, hint Hannah

Phew! Thanks for thinking of us Leslie! I was wondering if maybe we were going to have to have a Pettalkville South and Pettalkville North.

Oh, by the way Leslie, I think you should do double duty and serve as the Town Nutritionist.

Oh yes to Ashland!!! i was just there two weeks ago. not only do they have a GREAT dogpark but they have some wonderful dog people all through the town. The girl at the gas station - who told me how to get to the park and offered bug a treat (she had a huge bowl of dog treats!), the people at the park who nicely cleaned up after bug while i minded the puppies, all the people at the park who wanted to adopt any of the three dogs i had - they where asking where else there was adoption info, to the girl at the coffee shack who filled a coffee lid with whipped cream as a treat for bug on our way home (no charge!). Plus there's great music stores and fun places there. i vote the Ashland area! maybe they could even have a new play "Shakespeare goes to the Dogs" in our honor. I'd be happy to work on writing it. in fact i'll start this weekend!

I am REALLY late on this post. But, I would open an adoption center for All the herding dogs considered a herding dog. I love that group. I would take Collies(espcially smooths) and corgis! LOL!

Ask Mickey what you do best - maybe he'll suggest a job to you! There's of course always a need for more pooper scoopers, stall mucker-outers, etc. And tummy-rubbers, raisin dispensers ...
