A Little Bit Mad

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/th_scared.gif So yesterday I was such a wonderful day here in N.Y I though after our family lunchin I would take the boys over to our local park for a nice /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/gaah.gif walk on the dog trail. Boy was that a bad move. As soon as I took the boys out of the truck the park ranger was right up our buts. He was telling me to keep the boys off the play ground and out of the pinic area. (As if I could not read the hudge posting they had there!) So we started our walk and Rusty had to take a pee pee. Right away the ranger was all over us. He was telling us that was not aloud. ( What was poor Rusty to do? Hold it till we got home?) So we walked on! Then Henry had to go pee. Here comes that /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thsmiley_fistshake.gif dumb park ranger again. He tells me the same thing. This is no aloud! So whats poor Henry to do? Hold it as well? By this time I was so mad /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif I started back to the truck. As we started back to the truck he told me that we are not to come back. That we were not so to say playing by the rules.(WHAT RULES?)I seen the sighns. We read what they said. All they did was pee. What would of happened if one of them had to go /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/congrats.gif poop? It's not like I would not have cleaned it up! Anyway this park belong to the people of the town that I live in and tax payers money helps take care of it. If my taxes goes to helping out this park I want no part of it! Is the park for the people and there kids as well as dogs? Or is it to look at and keep pretty? I feel that we were singled out because we were the only family there with our dogs. Rusty, Henry and I will never be going back and my local town hall will be hearing about this! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/exactly.gif

From one Henry's mom to another... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/PuppyEyes.gif

I would go online and check the county rules on the public parks and maybe even make a copy. I would return to the park (after I've had my coffee of course /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/heart.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol2.gif) and read the posted park rules to make sure that dogs are allowed. I would have my plastic baggies ready.

And if that park ranger returned and gives me a hard time, I would show him the rules and ask him why he was singling me and my dogs out. I would not raise my voice and I would not be disrespectful. If things did not de-escalate at that point, I would get his name and file a complaint at once.

This guy may already have complaints filed against him because he is consistently picking on (responsible) dog owners. You never know if yours is the only voice on this subject.

Good luck and let us know what happens. I hate to see Rusty and Henry not be able to return to the park.

Lorie,

For what it's worth...even if you decide not to return to that park, I would still do the penny walk for the beagle rescue. No reason to let an obnoxious park ranger deny even a few extra pennies to beetles in need.

I hope that this gets resolved so that Henry and Rusty can go back to the park...maybe a personal visit to the town hall wouldn't hurt.
