Dog Feces Still a Problem

Via Jennifer Holbrook:

I know this issue has been addressed before, but I am very annoyed and had to comment further.

I have just come in from walking the dogs in the park, and almost stepped in a very large pile of “doggy poo”. During our walk, I counted a further 4 piles of dog feces which obviously had not been picked up. There were children playing soccer in the park, and I hope they or their parents checked their shoes before allowing them inside their homes. It is disgusting, unhealthy, and not fair to the other residents of Gold River!

A couple of days ago I was out walking the dogs when I saw 3 adults walking and talking, ahead of their dog which was off leash. The dog stopped to do his business, but the 3 just kept on walking and did not turn round once to check on their dog – another pile of feces to add to the park content!We also have dogs being walked off-leash along our street, and other people have to walk around their mess on the sidewalk as well.

Come on residents, let’s keep Gold River healthy and clean, which it certainly is not at present with this increasing problems with off-leash dogs and dog feces which their owners (you know who you are!) do not pick up.

Would you like your children or grandchildren to come in with shoes covered in feces when they’ve been playing in the park? I think not!

Residents Disgusted at Dumping of TV

My friend and I were out walking this past Saturday and were passed by a burgundy coloured truck with a large TV in the back. A few minutes later he passed us again but this time the TV was nowhere to be seen. As we continued on towards the Horse Barn, we spotted the TV laying in the bush on a side road.

To the driver……it’s a small town and I’m sure we’ll see your truck again. GO PICK UP YOUR TV, it only costs four dollars to dispose of it properly!

GR Resident Fed up with Neighourhood Cats

Via Anonymous Resident:

Please someone tell me what to do to keep cats away. We take pride in our home and yard, and our boat, garden shed, under the sundeck, and all gardens are either smelling like cat urine, or full of cat feces which is now growing lovely mold.

I am getting very angry about this, not to mention the amount of bird feathers found around the feeder in my backyard. Any suggestions to keep the cats away?

To all the irresponsible dog owners

It is your job to clean up after your dog! I walk my dog all the time and have noticed that a lot of people are not doing this. People seem to be letting their dogs do their business on the sidewalk, the road and of course on the snow, and then leave it there for someone to walk through!

I certainly don’t like to clean up after my dog, but I do because I am a responsible and respectful owner.

Start cleaning up after your dogs!

A Cold Prickly to…

via an unhappy resident;

Thorns to the 6 or so teenagers who decided to smoke their pot and pipes at 1:30 in the morning Sunday in the old park behind the townhouses along Maquinna Crst.

Not only did you keep the neighbourhood awake but we saw who you were – the lighters on the pipe lit up your faces very well!

Parents talk to your kids and find out who is doing what when out and about.

Kids next time I will take pics for your parents……..
