Dog walk updates!

As we all know oftentimes work gets in the way of life. In my case, I've been sidetracked the last few months with work; fortunately Jim and Wonton have filled in and led the last few walks. 

Check out these photos from the last walk on April 9th.  Wonton led the pack to the grassy patch located on the south lawn of City Hall.  As you can see from the photos the dogs had a great time romping on grass and not concrete for a change.

Come out and join us for the next dog walk on May 9, 2008 at 6:00 pm.  As always we meet on the grass near the north entrance of Pershing Square. Dog Walk route TBA.  

Also let us know your thoughts about setting up a temporary dog park either in Pershing Square or the south lawn of City Hall. Your help and support would be appreciated.

p.s. Happy Birthday Wonton!

Thank you to all those who braved the cold and made it out to the February dog walk. Special thanks to Celia, Jim, the "Mayor" Wonton and Cam for picking up the slack as I had a late running meeting.

In an effort to find new and interesting places to walk, we made our way across downtown to the steps of City Hall. To be more specific, we appropriated the south lawn of City Hall and made it our informal dog park. At night the views from City Hall of downtown are tremendous, not to mention all that grass. Yes, a few rabble-rousers went off-leash and romped around untethered.

This brought us to question:

1) Why can't we just bring our own gates and erect a temporary dog park on the south lawn or any open city space?

2) Where can we go next for our walk with so much grass?

As for the first questions, stay tuned as we ask City Hall; for the latter, please send us your suggestions of where we can go next on our upcoming walks.

Until then, be safe and enjoy the walk.

Next walk:

January Dog Walk Downtown L.A.

It was a treat to begin the New Year with new and old friends for the January Dog Walk. It was great to see all the new walkers join the usual suspects during the walk. We began the new year with a walk to the Maguire Gardens, the site of our 1st walk a few short months ago. Again the gardens were a hit. Thank you to those who braved the cold, we look forward to seeing you all for the next walk on Wed. Feb. 13, 2008 at 6pm.
