I just got off the phone with Scot, and he said his phone & internet service have been out for two days, sorry he didn't get back to ya, Phred, but he couldn't! Now he's way behind, so I told him I would fill you in.Originally Posted by Cinder & Smoke
Here's the deal - the location of the dogpark is actually temporary. The Parks Dept. doesn't own the land, and it is slated to be demolished whenever the State gets around to building that new off-ramp from the highway there. He said he'd feel really bad if it got bulldozed under after only a couple years. There is a Memorial Tree program in Newport, but I haven't checked on it yet either.
JoJoe & I are renting right now, and when we get our own place, we will buy a tree & plant it, but that may be a year or two away.
May I make a suggestion? I love the idea of having a tree dedicated to Sherman, and personally I think it would be nice if it got planted in the Findlay dogpark near the PT bench & trees...after all, that's where Sherman spent many, many happy hours. I assume PT pic-nics will continue to be held there, many of his friends would get to see the tree, remember him, and enjoy some shade. What do you think?
I'll check back later - I'm leaving town Wed. morning & will be gone for a week. (I'll check back before I leave, too)
