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.

“There are dogs breeds that have been developed and domesticated (by breeders) to live indoors. Some of these breeds have been around for hundreds of years. It’s OK for some dogs to live outside, but certainly not all. So, your life-affirming experience in the boonies notwithstanding, one size does not fit all.”
OK ENY, then maybe I should add:
7. Never buy a dog that can’t spend the winter outside, or for that matter any dog that would be referred to by the guys down at the lunch counter as a “kick dog” (this was the term used to refer to little dogs that one could presumably kick a good distance if they got in your way, although this was mostly macho affirmation and I never saw anyone do anything like this).
My neutered male dog continued to have sex, which was a bit awkward sometimes, as they kind of stick together for twenty minutes or so.
Babies do NOT need quiet to sleep.
Legion, is that NOT what we do already? (BTW, I emailed you about Bell House.)
in other words…
left to our own devices,
many of us would just as soon grow fur,
hump pillows, pee all over the place and howl at odd hours.
…what’s scarier here?
The fact that so many of us have the time to comment on an egg thrower and a dog
or
the fact that many of these rules and observations apply to humans as well…?
Rule 7:
Dogs can actually survive without being fed table scraps, especially while people are at the table eating at the time.
“2. On cold windy winter days they can curl up in a doghouse with some blankets. And of course because you don’t pamper them they will actually have a real coat of winter fur, like animals should.”
Lech, I think some people would actually be surprised to learn that, even today some dogs actually live outside all year long and not all are domesticated.

2) if your dog was better looking than cousin… that’s allowed too.
