You might try looking behind the apartments on the Sherman block (1900 block of Monongahela) becauseRead More there are always stray cats behind there. Don't go alone because it doesn't look very safe. Start looking behind the Boomerang bar all the way to behind Maldini's.

I've been going to Frick Park for over 40 years and I've seen plenty of off-leash dogs lunge at eachRead More other. And I don't care how cute you think your dog is I don't want it coming up and sniffing me.

Shannon, your comment welcoming RPD "finally bringing some sanity" implies that the restRead More of us lack it. Wy would you think that people who want illegal and dangerous activities eliminated and enforced? The fact is that many have had dangerous and even harmful encounters with unleashed dogs even though you "have never seen it". I do agree with you that we should all "just go to the park and have some fun". That would best be done of all dog owners kept their dogs properly leashed and utilize the OLEAs.

I have two small terriers who, as being terriers, must be leashed at all times while outside due toRead More their strong instinct to search out squirrels, chimpunks, and other small rodents. The only time I take them off-leash is in the designated area that is fenced, and they always have a great time. My husband and I decided after one of these visits to walk a few miles on the trails, which we'd never done before. And I can honestly say that we will never do it again. My dogs are friendly with other dogs when all involved are off-leash, but my smallest dog gets quite insecure when she is leashed and a strange dog approaches her. I mean, if you were restrained and a complete stranger approached you without any warning, it would be quite startling! Such as it is for my little one. In order to prevent a possible altercation, I have to physically scoop her up because when she gets frightened it's possible that she could bite. She IS an animal. We have to remember this. Anyway, this particular day on the trails got off to quite a horrible start, as we were walking along and an off-leash dog approached and appeared to be stalking toward my dogs. Its owner made no attempt to restrain him or her and only yelled out that the dog was friendly. My smallest dog sensed the other dog's energy and jumped up on my legs to be picked up. I did so, and the other dog CHARGED me and my dog. My husband was trying to restrain our other dog, who was now barking at this off-leash dog, and the entire experience left me extremely shaken up. I informed the man that it was against the law to have his dog off-leash and he was not in the least apologetic. Shannon, the only thing I agree with about your comments is that yes, we should all be able to just get along. Although most dogs were off-leash this day at the park, a vast majority of people, when they saw us approaching, would leash their dogs. For that, I really appreciate it. But for everyone's safety I really do think that people need to start obeying the law and leashing their dogs at all times, except in the designated areas. It's for their safety as well as the safety of everyone else using the park. Thank you.
