A woof here, a yap-yap there, cat-doody in your flower beds, dog-doody on your shoes — are you fed up with sharing your world with the fur-bound and the people who "own" them? Or do you feel your critter must be a "free spirit" to explore the great outdoors? Resist leashes? Think barking is only a form of communication? A cat must be true to its nature? How many domestic critters share CPN with our families — and will these relationships strain the human ties with our neighbors? Thanks to everyone who participated. Now the facts... |

| JULY 2001: | ||||||||||||||||||||
|
Are we "going to the dogs" and foregoing responsible pet ownership? |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Here are the results (through 4-23-02): | ||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| What is the 'Outcome'? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| And what you've had to say about it... | ||||||||||||||||||||
| "If dog owners would clean up their pet's poop and prevent their dogs from running rampant through our yards and gardens, we wouldn't have a problem, would we? When your dogs are in my yard, they are my business." | ||||||||||||||||||||
| "I
never realized that we had so many narrow minded , intolerant people
living here. I would much rather see someone walking their dog, getting
some exercise that deal with the local rug rats destroying the pool
area and other fun things they do. Please, get a life."
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| "Dog barking has become a major problem in this neighborhood. I wish owners would fulfill their responsibilities by addressing the problem and finding and fixing whatever is causing their dogs to bark so much." | ||||||||||||||||||||
| "I'm a jogger. I've been attacked several times by dogs running at large. And, I don't like having to avoid the poop on the pathways." | ||||||||||||||||||||
| "I have lived here for over 10 years. I am tired of new people moving in trying to tell us what to do! The dogs need a place to run also! I feel the open space behind some areas dogs should be allowed to run in. I also feel that it is not a dogs fault if an owner is irresponsible and does not control them. Don't take it out on the dogs! Do we complain about the howling coyotes? Yes barking dogs can be a nuisance, but living with people can be a nuisance too! Learn to live with your neighbors or find somewhere else to live!" | ||||||||||||||||||||
| There was a large response from the community. Read all the comments from your fellow residents. |
| July's local commerce question (thru 3-15-02: | ||||||||||||||||
| Would you be willing to pursue changes with the PUC? | ||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||
| "I have three lines to my house and THREE "distance charges" each month. You bet I could use that $36 for something else. Let me know if you need my support." | ||||||||||||||||
| "I have multiple lines and the base fees are, I believe, high. We are no longer even remotely rural." | ||||||||||||||||
| 10-10-01 | Update - some good neighbors have worked on this, check it out | |||||||||||||||
