novo-dog-run-12-09.JPG
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.

  1. “yes. like i stated earlier. my pillows became my dog’s b-tch! and yes, jizz everywhere. gross.”

    That is SUPER gross. Did you ever try to go to sleep and like roll over in in accidentially or did you always see it first?

    we basically lived around the corner from each other. i lived above the grilled cheese place directly across from las venus furniture. ludlow started getting really absurd around the time stretch limos started pulling up and dropping total B&T trash off. i used to sit on the front stoop of my building in the summers and drink king cobras with my super. thinking back, cops totally passed and never said anything.

  3. DIBS – not to go off-topic too much (what is the topic here anyway) but arent you gay?

    No offense but my male gay friends tell me that unless you are the elephant man – you can always find another dude for ‘release’….so I guess I am asking – whats wrong with you that you need to pay???? (you are destroying my one main reason for wishing I was gay)

    Yes, but oftentimes these gay guys want to go on a date and not have sex on the first date. What kind of date is that??????

    Yes, I can find that within a few blocks of my office any time of the day!!!!

  4. “Do dogs instinctively know to run and jump over those white thingys (don’t know what they’re called) in the picture? Or do the owners show them how to do it?”

    Some dogs up and do it by themselves, some you have to teach. Some learn easily and instantly, some take time. Some dogs would love it and do it repeatedly, some dogs will refuse to do it at all. It all depends on the breed of dog and the individual dog’s character.

    FSRG is correct. Unless you’re a breeder, you should neuter your dog.

  5. **shaking my head in disbelief**

    You learn something new everyday on B’Stoner. Some of them you never wanted to know in the first place. But I suppose it’s free knowledge nonethelesss. Sigh.

    Can dogs get themselves off? I don’t mean just lick the lipstick, I mean get release. Is the only way a dog gets release by sexing another dog?

    yes. like i stated earlier. my pillows became my dog’s b-tch! and yes, jizz everywhere. gross. at the time tho i thought it was normal and the thought of neutering him didnt really cross my mind. after he did stop humping pretty much and lost his sex drive. neutering him also caused him to lose a lot of his rugged pitbull muscle tone. oh yeah, and he started squatting when he peed. :-/ so a neutered dog has it’s plusses and it’s minusses

  7. fsrq — It is irrelevant that the dog run wasn’t there when the novo went up. No one moving into the Novo has any right being surprised by the dog run/skate park etc. behind it. That spot has been a recreational park for decades. Before construction of the novo, it was a blacktop softball “field” with games starting as early as 8am on Sundays (I could hear the “ping” of the aluminum bats all the way over on 3rd Street). During construction it was taken over by the developer and was part of the construction site and the developer was required to rebuild the park to a new publicly disclosed design that included the skate park and dog run. Anyone expecting a park with trees asnd benches just simply wasn’t paying attention. I agree the dog owner was out of line, but there are reasonable and unreasonable ways of handling it. Anyone buying on the Terrapin side of the Novo who looked out the window and didn’t ask “what’s going to be there when the construction is over” just wasn’t serious about the issue.
