Support the McCarren Park Dog Run Association

| |

Williamsburg dog owners should be glad they now have someone on their side. The McCarren Park Dog Run Association is a New York Council of Dog Owners member whose goal is to improve and maintain the McCarren Park Dog Run.

They did what many thought would never happen. They fixed the small dog run gate latch so small dogs can enjoy being off leash without the risk of getting hurt by larger dogs at play. They also have great literature designed to educate the public on dog run etiquette .

With the expected population boom brought on by a hot condo market the dog population will explode as well. The McCarren Dog Run Association is just what Williamsburg needs!

When you visit the McCarren Park Dog Run this weekend save your coffee money.Why? Cause you're gonna donate it to the organization.They have a table set up with FREE fresh brewed coffee! A buck or two for your pup and you to enjoy the dog run. Thank the few who make it happen.

BSL (Breed Specific Legislation)

|

An interesting article by Kandy F of iheartpaws.com discussing the unfair and ineffective Breed Specific Laws being passed across the country.


Could you imagine this sweetie, BUDDY in a muzzle, cone or banned from the streets just because of his breed type? It's happening in municipalities around the US.

Here is an excerpt with the entire article linked below.


Picture this: A nice, warm, sunny day; a couple taking their beloved pet for a walk in the park. The pet is a joyful, loving puppy playfully romping in the grass. Heartwarming, isn't it? Now imagine this same loving pup forever vilified, muzzled, confined, and even sentenced to death. It's crime? Being classified as a breed "inherently dangerous to society" and therefore subject to the increasing number of communities implementing Breed Specific Legislation

Williamsburg Walkers gets linked to Curbed,Gothamist this week

| | |

A recent post about mysterious seating being attached to DOT traffic signs caught the eye of the real estate blog Curbed
on Monday.Yesterday, NY lifestyle blogThe Gothamist picked up the link to Williamsburg Walkers.

Apparantly, the artist connecting seats to DOT sign posts are pissing off bikers more than the mean ol lawyers I thought would go bats--t. The seats are interfering with cyclists' ability to lock their bikes. Oops.

Thursday Walk Report : Little Rock Condos on the Park

Today I walked past these little rock towers built from sidewalk cement in McCarren Park. I'm curious if this was done by a child just piling rocks or more real estate related street art?
