[Highland Park] barking dogs
by Olga Watkins 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

I'm guessing that the intensity of the dog barking has increased because it's summer time and there are a lot of people out in their yards and on the streets; kids are playing and running around in each others yards, adults are working and entertaining outside while the weather permits and other people are just sneaking around trying to steal bicycles and other items out of our neighbor's garages and driveways. Unlike people, most dogs don't just stand around and bark to hear the sound of their own voices. They are making people and other animals aware of their territory. Dogs act as a general trouble deterrent. I for one have a dog and don't mind being alerted by him as to the presence of others around my home and property. If a neighbor's dog is acting up, I take it as a sign that I should have a look outside and make sure everything is as it should be. Olga Watkins

21 Jul '07

Dear neighbors, We have family from Sweden coming at the end of September, and would like to take them to a nice winery. We would like to have lunch at the winery, or perhaps if there is something nearby that you would recommend. We were hoping there was something local or not to drive more than 1 1/2 hours. Can any of you offer any suggestions? Thank you! Rebecca Portland Street ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

[Highland Park] Barking Dogs!
by George Spelvin 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Is it me or has the intensity of barking dogs increased lately? The Heberton area between Jackson and Wellesley seems especially noisy. Isn't there an ordinance about barking dogs? Don't you hear your own dog yelping and barking and carrying on for what seems like hours? Come on, neighbors, do something to keep your dogs quiet. Later we can talk about cleaning up after them when you walk 'em!!! _________________________________________________________________ Missed the show?
