I would love to be able to take my dog everywhere, but when virtually the entire park is dog-friendly, I would take care not to bring him to the one spot where he isn't allowed. Especially when it is a quite nature study area with nesting animals.<br />'Shoto' - I don't even remember that place! I'll have to look it up.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394471787954690021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-78082749316016908262009-06-29T09:19:40.044-07:002009-06-29T09:19:40.044-07:00Hey Nina, what fun... have to break out the "...Hey Nina, what fun... have to break out the "Birds" movie. The most bothersome thing while doing any walking or hiking here in Washington and particularily Bellingham are the unleashed dogs. Most areas are clearly posted with "lease up and pick up after your dog, its the law" followed by the ordinance cited. <br /><br />Nothing seems to bother these laws breakers. The dogs running loose and ahead of their owners intimidate, frighten and just scare those running, walking or biking the same trail. We never know if they might knock you off of the bike, jump on you and always for sure they disrupt the peace and mental tranquility being in these areas were intended to provide. <br /><br />It seems most of these poeple are at least uppper middle class based on the number of high end cars they come and leave in. Very frustrating. <br /><br />The last time we spent the 4th of July with you was in Pekin. Or was it at "Shoto"? Have a good day and hi to sis and folks. Nice work and glad to read it.<br />Peacebhamsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300087362915311652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40342833983766732.post-53158101027139694502009-06-28T16:28:24.325-07:002009-06-28T16:28:24.325-07:00Nina,
I hope all is well with you since you have ...Nina,<br /><br />I hope all is well with you since you have been gone from the blogosphere for so long. <br /><br />Your trip through the woods seems enchanting. There is something about a hardwood forest, particularly after a rain, that fills the senses. <br /><br />We do have so many places close by, but have our own handicaps. There is one major route into the mountains and by 1:30 PM on Sunday it is already becoming a stop and go traffic jam. The press of people is getting to really wear me down. <br /><br />Our season is also only 12 weeks or so long and the Army sucks up half of that :(<br /><br />So, I guess I am saying that the grass is always greener...<br /><br />Cheers,sylvia murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036556969652726061noreply@blogger.com
