Slope Dog Run Egging On At Least One Novo Resident

The talk of the dog run behind the Novo condo is about how someone living in the 4th Avenue building threw an egg down into the run a couple weeks ago, evidently to show that he/she was not at all pleased with a dog’s barking. The incident happened after 8 p.m., when the run is technically supposed to be closed. (Its official hours of operation end at dusk.) Nevertheless: Extreme measures! According to a guy who was in the run at the time, the egg came very close to hitting him, and he thinks it would have been quite painful if it had connected. Another person who frequents the dog run says a Novo resident came out one morning recently and asked owners to quiet down their dogs because his baby was sleeping. Novo owners have previously complained about noise from the nearby handball courts and skateboard park, but this is the first instance we’ve heard of in which someone from the condo went crazy over the dog run noise. Neither the dog run or condo are going anywhere, so it’ll be interesting to see how they coexist in the long term.

Snark, that was funny. Good find!
Lech, that’s funny. When I was a kid, I thought I would one day name my first child “Shasta”. Soda pop was so rare a treat for us then and the Shasta commercials used to drive me crazy. Yes, my life in Canada…
Rule #9
Get a cat.
Yeah whatever fsrg. Just halfheartedly trying to get a rise out of people. Not working I guess. *yawn*
Dont worry, I don’t own a dog. Haven’t had one since I was a kid. I had a white mutt of sorts named Buck, and he got hit by a car (my mom’s car). At some point I had a brown mutt named Pat (completely serious), and not really sure what happened to him. Then my parents got all fancy and bought me a Golden Retriever, whom I named Shasta. He ended up getting cancer or something and was taken out behind the barn. After that I was going off to college and couldn’t have a dog.
So my first Pet’s name was Buck and I grew up on a road wth a name that starts with the word “Harlo”, so I guess that means my porn star name is Buck Harlo.

lechacal – boy you are in rare form…let me give you the real Rule #1 –
NEVER BUY A DOG – you are getting ripped off, a dog with the same or better qualities is being put down right now for no other reason than THERE ARE TOO MANY DOGS.
The rest of your rules aren’t really – many dogs arent suited for the farm life you describe and others are.
“Babies do NOT need quiet to sleep.”
Very true, Heather. My two Champs were around noise all the time when we lived in Manhattan and they adapt to it. They have to pass out at some point! They never had a problem. They adapt. I could take them in a stroller past guys doing roadwork and ambulances and they wouldn’t stir.
Oh yeah, and:
8. Dogs are very useful animals. They keep bad people away from your house, and they are good companions. And they teach valuable lessons to kids about responsibility etc etc. But if a dog proves itself incapable of performing any of these functions and you can’t find someone who wants to take it from you, you know where the barn is.

The Chinese were the first to domesticate dogs…
