Friendly Reminders:
There is no poop fairy 🧚, so please pick up after your dog. You will find dog waste bags conveniently located in three areas of the neighborhood. Please dispose of those bags in your own waste receptacle.
Please always have your dog on leash and have good control of your fur baby. There are squirrels 🐿️ and cats 🐈 everywhere that can cause your dog to take off.
Please 🙏 slow down when driving, particularly when heading up or down the hill. Cats and dogs can easily be in the roadway. Swerving around dogs being walked is not recommended as dogs often lunge at cars. Also, dogs can lunge at folks jogging by too closely.
If your dog has a tendency to growl or lunge at another dog, please turn and walk in the other direction so we can avoid conflict between animals – and humans! ☮️
