Don't spread that story about using baseball or softball fields to run your

dog. Go walk your dog and clean up afterward. I have a friend who lost his

knee running to catch a fly ball and stepped in dog stuff. I heard his knee

pop. The best knee surgeon in this area could not put it back together. It is

now against the law here to run dogs on playing fields, they are starting to

have dog runs BUT if the owners don't clean up after their dogs, they will shut

them all down.

Take care, Bill

Greetings Bill!

Actually, I am not afraid to recommend this. However, I also ALWAYS insist

that dog owners MUST pick up after their dogs. I do. I have for more most

of my life. It's not an option. It's part of being a responsible dog

owner. I don't leave the house with my dog without a bag to pick up after

him. I don't care where you go .. that's part of the responsibility of

owning a pet.
