Bell View Trail

The mornings have been so beautiful lately that I am enjoying walks with Diva on the Bell View Trail which we access from the Park on Sycamore. You need your old pool key to get through the gate or you can access it at the Waterfall or towards the end of Sycamore where it opens up onto the trail. Here is a photo I took of Dove Canyon this morning along with a picture of a Quail. This Daddy Quail was on the lookout and Mama Quail and new babies ran into the brush before I could snap their photo.

Happy Birthday Cooper

Cooper is celebrating his 8th birthday with a great roll in the grass. If you are down at the promenade this week, stop by and give him your birthday wishes. Cooper is usually there every morning and evening!

Real Dog of the Week: Mochi

Mochi is a very cute poodle mix. Mochi enjoy's visiting with her Dove dog pals and like her name, is a very sweet treat!

Real Dog of the Week: Paisley

Paisley is a beautiful representative of the Scottish Terrier breed. It is very fun to watch her sweep across the grass and play with her DC dog pals. Aside from her sweet temperament, Paisley wants to be where all the action is and enjoys keeping up with the larger dogs.

April Update on Animal Control Visits

As mentioned in my previous post dated April 25th, Animal Control came out to Dove Canyon in 2009 a total of 12 times. Between January and March 2010, AC visited Dove Canyon 12 times and (drum roll please), last month, AC came out to Dove Canyon 12 times, so that totals 24 visits so far for 2010. It cost Animal Control approx. $2,098.08 to patrol check our community, and as far as I can tell, has not issued any citations. An interesting fact is that Animal Control also did 16 patrol checks in Coto on Alta Drive, which is where their new dog park is being proposed and Coto homeowners play with their dogs. They responded to only two calls generated elsewhere in Trabuco Canyon. So please note that the Security Gate is still calling Animal Control on Dove Homeowners who play and run their dogs off leash.

Another Beautiful Morning in Dove Canyon

It's another beautiful morning here in Dove Canyon and I took a picture of Saddleback framed by wispy clouds for you to enjoy. It's not to late to grab the leash and take your Dog for a walk. Have a great day.

Real Dog of the Week: Roxy

Meet Roxy, a beautiful Rottweiler. Most likely you see Roxy enjoying her morning walk each day through the promenade. As she walks around the pool she will usually howl a friendly hello to her friend Coti, the Alaskan Malamut. Roxy's looks may be intimidating, but she is a sweetheart!
