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.

fsrq, just because a dog isn’t neutered doesn’t mean it’s going to breed. If it’s running wild, yes. There are actually responsible owners out there.
*yawn*
No one seems to want to get worked up about my offensive posts. Am I not being offensive enough? Please advise. Maybe I should just go do some work.
“There – now you have been chastised Denton”
Do it to your gf, and get back to me.
You know, I think this post was a trick by Mr. B to keep the number of clicks up on a slow news day.
Seems to have all the elements guaranteed for a large number of hits: resident of evil, ugly new Park Slope condo tower throws egg on poor doggie and his owner. Surely a brownstone owner would never do this!!!
“My dog is not neutered and I have never been chastised about it. There’s just something about you, rob.”
Finally I might agree with Rob on something. You should be chastised. THERE ARE ENOUGH DOGS!!!! We dont need your stupid one breeding any more puppies – get your dog neutured for god sakes. Every frikin week THOUSANDS of perfectly friendly, capable and smart dogs are KILLED in NYC because they have no home. THERE ARE ENOUGH DOGS!!!!
There – now you have been chastised Denton
“Have you dated a lot of men, lechacal?”
None, I’m straight. But my interactions with humans actually go beyond people I have dated.
“I’d like for you to explain the scientific value of your observations about gender.”
100% of the people I have met who have gotten totally irrationally worked up about dogs barking when it honest to God just wasn’t that loud and the people could have just closed the goddamn window or moved to another room have been women.
Low powered bb guns can do the trick too. Gotta have good aim so you don’t make anyone go blind, but a good sting in the ass for the dog’s owner would have cleared him out pretty quick.
First of all in defense of the Novo owners (of which I am NOT) – the dog run was apparently closed – so the dog owner was being a dick (especially if his dog was barking incessently)
2nd – while I am the 1st to say….if you buy a house next to a ______ you cant complain about {obvious effects of)________.
-But in fairness, the dog run and skateboarding park werent there when the Novo was built (or before) and while their were plans for the upgrade, its not like the residents could hear for themselves what they would eventually face.
Finally, not a defense but an observation – I can not imagine HOW on earth the people in the rear of the Novo take the noise from the park. I could handle the yelling children, and I could tolerate the dogs, but I would definitely find the skate board scrapping annoying and basketballs bouncing can definitely be tiresome….but beyond all others – I am fairly certain that the incessant and unique sound of the handballs bouncing would cause me to climb to the top of the Novo and jump.
Even 2 blocks away I can hear it, all summer long – from that distance it isnt a big deal, but stand next to the novo one summer day – its worse than waterboarding.
Have you dated a lot of men, lechacal? I’d like for you to explain the scientific value of your observations about gender.
I never thought i’d ever say that, but I agree with Rob: a water balloon makes a much better and less messy point about closing time. Just like a wastrel Novo buyer, throwing a perfectly good egg (at least a quarter) when a water balloon (less than a cent) works just as well.
