The mad egg-tosser who lives in the Novo has once again lashed out at the dog run underneath the 4th Avenue condo. A few nights ago, a woman says she brought her dog to the run so he could do his evening business and someone chucked an egg down at her from the condo. On the one hand: As in the incident four weeks ago, the dog and owner were in the run in the evening, when it’s supposed to be closed. On the other: The woman says her dog wasn’t making noise, and that she’s been taking him to the run at night since it opened more than a year ago. Questions abound among the run’s users. Is the egger perhaps a teenager, or just a crazy person? Do most of the Novo’s residents feel enmity towards the dog run? When will peace be restored in the Slope???
Slope Dog Run Egging On At Least One Novo Resident [Brownstoner]
Not only do dogs use dog runs — people use them too. People walk there to meet other people. rESULT: Healthier humans. Less need for the human’s CF to put them in a nursing home in 20 years.
It’s more difficult to attach class signifiers to dogs than it is to CF (you know what I mean.) RESULT: More harmonius neighborhoods.
Dogs that are exercised in dog parks bark less when they are back in their brownstones with their humans (probably both are tired.) Result : Quieter neighborhoods.
Dogs that use dog runs are most likely to “eliminate” in the run — they want to send their peemail, etc, on top of where other dogs have done theirs. Result: Cleaner sidewalks.
In dog runs with 24-hour or late night hours, dog owners and their LF (leash—–?)walk through communities in the evening. RESULT: Safer neighborhoods.
Dog owners who enter dog runs when they are closed mess things up for other dogs and owners who obey the rules. RESULT: Situations like the one described above.
Maybe the offending dog really doesn’t bark much, but that’s a slippery slope. A true no-/low-barking dog in the run after hours encourages noisy, constantly barking dogs to enter the run after hours. People can be in denial about their LF just as much as they can be in denial about their CF. Can’t the doorman or super of the Novo lock the run at the proper time?

Looks like a peacock egg.
Yummy, egg cusTURD.
If the run is closed, how did the dog owner get in? Aren’t they usually fenced off?
But throwing things at someone is still a big no-no. The dog wasn’t barking, so ti seems the egg thrower was simply being malicious. Quetal points up the real possibility of how an incident could escalate. If the egg thrower is not a 6 year old, they should go to the board and work on a solution.

Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days
Closed or not closed, Street Rules apply. You throw an egg at me or my dog, I throw a rock at your window. I was starting pitcher on my highschool baseball team, and a sniper in the Marines. Power+Accuracy.

As a self-confessed water balloon tosser, isn’t saying “the person throwing the egg is an a-hole with a cold heart” just a trifle hypocritical?
i’ve stated this in the other thread about this same topic a few weeks ago… there is a huge difference between throwing and egg which could render someone BLIND or DEAF if hit in the right spot, and throwing a water balloon!
