As a dog owner in Saanich I can fully understand the banning of dogs from tennis courts as it is frustrating seeing an unwanted deposit on the ground.

Most dog owners are responsible, but like anything there are some that just donB次元官网网址檛 care and I see that on a daily basis. I pay it forward each and every day at my local park and out on walks by picking up rouge poo, and so do many of my friends. However, I laughed out loud when I read our mayorB次元官网网址檚 comment: B次元官网网址淲e have lots of parks for the dogs to run.B次元官网网址�

Yes, Saanich has lovely parks but not one of then has a dedicated area for the puppies to run and play without bumping into joggers, bikers, Frisbee players, walkers, etc. We have contacted Saanich and spoke with Animal Control to be told that there are no plans for this in any of the Saanich parks. IsnB次元官网网址檛 it wonderful how quickly Saanich responded to the tennis court issue and but has done nothing for years on keeping our dogs safe and in a contained area, nevermind the general public who I am sure would be happy to see the dogs in a secure area in the park.

There are so many parks that have an unused area that so easily could be fenced for our furry friends to play and run safely. Remember we walk every day B次元官网网址� 365 days a year B次元官网网址� dog owners use the parks more than anyone else I would imagine, itB次元官网网址檚 time to consider us.
