PLACE: 220 East 19th Street, front yard
WHEN: alternate Sundays, beginning Sept. 21, 11:00 AM
Let’s face it a lot of people in our community own
dogs.
Not many apartments allow people to own pets
so we are a very fortunate
community.
What I’m proposing is a "Dog(s) Owner Club."
An organization of
dog owners who get together
to "bark" about obedience training, house training,
veterinarians, pet stores, dog sitting
and visits to local dog parks
with
our beloved best friends… our dog(s).
We meet twice a month starting on September
21st Sunday at 11am
and every other Sunday after that.
Our first meeting will be at 220 East 19th
Street in the front yard.
Here is also a list of local dog parks.
Perhaps
some day in the near future
we could have our own dog park just outside our
front door.
