Help Kirkland Win the Dog Park Contest!!
July 28, 2011
Kirkland needs your vote! We are a finalist in PetSafe's National Dog Park Contest, with the contest winner receiving $100,000 to build their dog park. The City of Kirkland and Kirkland Off-Leash Group (KDOG.org) worked together on a video for the semi-finals for this contest, and then became one of just 15 cities in the country to make it to the finals. You can vote every day until August 3rd for Kirkland at www.barkforyourpark.com & at PetSafe's Facebook Page. You'll also be able to view Kirkland's darling video submission there with dog, Lucky, visiting Kirkland parks and businesses, and even talking to the mayor. Kirkland's Off-Leash Dog Group has an approved park site for the dog park, but is building their park without any City funding. Please help them by barking for Kirkland by voting each day until August 3rd. For more information about the dog park and park sponsorships, please go to www.kdog.org. The winner gets announced on Aug 5th- GO KIRKLAND!!!
Well, Lucky is apparently the only leashed dog in Kirkland parks with a responsible owner. I rotate going to different parks every day at lunch & only 1 out of 6 dogs actually is leashed. The owners carry the leashes in case they get caught which they never do. They let the dogs poop in the playfields & baseball diamonds. I'm voting for Lucky's park but I have no confidence that these rude dog owners will go out of their way to get to an off-leash park.
