Sometimes I think the Dog Park is just a dream of mine. That I will wake up and find out that none of it is real. My parents tell me that we’re going to have one. They say it’s moving forward. I hear things about site walk throughs, some nice company named Laco making it ADA compliant for free, and doggie parents trying to raise money for fencing, parking, bathrooms etc. All I know is that I don’t see it. I see a space without a fence. That means I can’t run off-leash there safely and legally.
It seems like such a simple thing. A fence. Some parking. A bathroom. Some doggie bags. Some signs. It’s really too bad that things cost money. Lots of money. I don’t really understand how money works. I know that money is why I can’t have every toy in the pet store. I also know it’s why I can’t have a bigger backyard to play in. Now it’s also the reason I can’t play at a dog park. As my Mom and Dad say “We have the site, we have the plan, we have the permit…. we need the money.” I’m tired of hearing that. I just wish they had the money already.
So how can I, as a Eureka Dog, make or raise money?
