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.

lechacal, having grown up in the ‘burbs, I agree with point 5 and experienced the skunk part of point 6. While our dogs had a dog house, generally speaking, the dog lived in the house, and the kids and their friends played in the dog house, lol. Points 3 and 4, never!
I seriously don’t understand urban dog owners. Not saying they shouldn’t own dogs, just saying I don’t get it. When I was a kid out in the boonies the rules were kind of like this:
1. Dogs are animals. Animals live outside. Dogs don’t ever come in the house, ever. Houses are for people.
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.
3. If you have kids and a dog becomes a danger to any of the kids, you take it (the dog) out behind the barn and shoot it and bury it.
4. If a dog is suffering at the end of its life, you take it out behind the barn, make it really comfortable and as happy as you possibly can, and shoot it and bury it.
5. It’s fine to let your dog run around all day outside without being tied up as long as you have enough woods around you so the dog has its own territory or whatever. The dog knows where to go and where not to go, and which neighbor dogs he can play with.
6. The worst thing in the world is when your dog finds a rotting carcass in the woods, because he will roll around in it and smell awful for days. Second worst thing is skunk. Harder to get the smell out but it doesn’t make you want to vomit instantly like carrion.
“I agree with DIBS here. If you’re going to go on a date with the sole intention of scoring, is it really that much worse to just skip the restaurant and use the money to rent a guy for the same amount of time with 100% certainty of scoring and without the BS of the small talk?”
OK, I agree with DIBS, too, and with Curious Biff, who apparently has moved beyond curiosity. ^^^^^
Anyone have any questions about moose you’d like me to answer??

“i cant tell you how many times i came home only to find that my pillows were completely violated!”
Note to Self: Avoid *rob’s* pillows, as well as his beanbag.
“also he wouldnt even attempt to socialize with the other dogs, he’d just go about his business and they would come up to HIM and pick a fight!”
*rob*, I had the same problem with the dog run in Brooklyn Heights. CDog would mind her own business while doing her business, and the other dogs would yap at her and attack her, and this tight-knit clique of dog owners there, who do NOT welcome new people or their dogs to the dog run, all thought their dogs were so cute, and would never pull them off her, so I just started walking her and taking her over to Cobble Hill Park, in which, surprisingly for Cobble Hill (see Norah Jones “Windowgate” thread), dogs are allowed.
SF and Denton – I am not saying that the dog run/park amenities were a secret to Novo buyers – far from it – I just thought that many people who arent familiar with the area might have thought the Novo was built after (the current park features) were in place. Which it wasnt – that part of the park was a dirt lot during the Novo’s construction (cause the Dev got to use it in exchange for building new amenities)
Not a major difference but still a difference.
“FSRG is correct. Unless you’re a breeder, you should neuter your dog. “–
what is with all this anti-gay talk….why should we have to get dogs neutered and not you people.
