Our family feels that Dove Canyon is THE best place to live, part of the reason we feel that way is the daily community connection we have through our dog, Diva. Walking Diva has given us the opportunity to meet so many wonderful neighbors and their dogs. On the whole, we have found that Dove Canyon dog owners are responsible pet owners, the majority who do pick up after their pets. Many love to exercise and socialize their dogs by having them run with each other or to play fetch with a favorite ball or toy. This playtime has gone on for over 20 years with few incidents. Understandably, there are people who don't want to encounter an off-leash dog while walking alone, with their dog or child. I totally get and respect their feelings and position on the issue. There are also pet owners who would love to exercise their dog off-leash but afraid for their pet's safety into running off or into on-coming traffic. Then there is the leash law... every Dove resident that we have met are law-biding citizens but, when they run their dogs off-leash, it isn't with criminal intent, The leash law can be placed right there with people who still text and talk on their cell phones while driving. However, Our family personally want to remain law-biding citizens and really believe that Dove should provides a fenced-in area to give residents a place to exercise and socialize their pets so Dove Canyon can be a happy and safe environment for all.
On Tuesday October 11th, at the HOA General Meeting the topic of "Off-Leash" park options will be on the agenda. The meeting starts at 7pm at the Dove Canyon Country Club and the Off-Leash agenda item is scheduled towards the end of the meeting. The HOA posted the three proposed sites on the Dove Canyon online bulletin board yesterday and here they are for you to see. We plan on being there and hope to see all our Dog friends there to.
