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.

I’m baffled by this story. I don’t live in the Novo, but I live in a nearby condo and my bedroom window faces this dog walk (though not quite as close as the Novo, but pretty close). We often sleep with the window open, and I’ve never been bothered by noise from the dog run.
The park was closed. The dog was noisy. I’m on the egg thrower’s side. One wrong does justify retribution.

i didnt even know there was a dog run in park slope. i wonder if i can bring my dog there? when i first got him i used to bring him to the dog run in tompkins square park but we got run out of there a few times. i couldnt believe the politics that went on. i know, it’s bad to have a dog with balls (he doesnt have them anymore btw) but when i first got him he had them and whatever i didnt think much of it. i brought him in and this nosey busy body starts screaming and alerting in the dog run, saying over and over, “unneutered dog! unneutered dog!” he wound up getting into a few dog scuffles (which i thought was normal), but eventually i lost interest in the whole concept of a dog run, it didnt even seem like it was about the dogs! so lame. 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! of course he’s going to defend himself, balls and all.
he did get it on with another dog one morning and i was like omg im so sorry to the owner and she’s like, oh let them have fun hahah. he may very well have children out there!
now that my dog is ballless, do you think i coudl take him to this dog run? or is it for the building only?

Zero sympathy for egg slinging Novo owners. Hello? You moved next to a dog run, handball court, AND skate park. You failed to do the research before plunking down big bucks and now blaming it on the dogs who are……….just being dogs!
For the record, I have no problem against the egg throwing either if these owners have been warned.
DIBS and Rob both right. Egg thrower & dog owner both assholes & deserve each other.
I cannot imagine anything my dog (Barnaby the basset, former barking scourge of this dog run now partly silenced by his citronella collar) would love more than to have an egg land in his general vicinity. Even on his body would have been fine. It’s like throwing briar patches at brer rabbit.
wow what an a-hole. i was rollerskating in a parking lot lot as kid and someone threw an egg from a building and it hit me right on the head. it HURT. tho i dont know how high up it came from.
the person should have just thrown a waterballoon. much safer, and gets the point across much better.
however, what kind of idiot buys a luxury condo adjacent to a stinky dog run? that’s gross.
