Kudos for the good people of Silverdale, WA who joined together to create an off-leash facility at Gateway Park. Kitsap County Parks and Recreation provided the acreage in exchange for formation of a fenced, off-leash facility and the construction of additional parking spaces near the site. The Gateway site marks the third off-leash dog park established in Kitsap County.
The creation of the Silverdale Dog Park offers another example of citizens joining together to create a play area for their canines. Through donations and fundraising events -- rummage sale, benefit at the Cloverleaf Sports Ball & Bill, sales of memorial plaques, advertising boards, donations -- the organization has collected more than $23K by late March.
Those living in or near Silverdale can show your love by eating the flesh of dead cows, pigs and chickens at Famous Dave's in Silverdale on May 3. Twenty percent of the sales from 5 pm to 9 pm will benefit the dog park. Download the coupon from the Silverdale Dog Park's site (see link).
You've got to eat, so why not put your meat consumption to a good cause? An appetizer, a couple entrés, two or three beers apiece, and dessert... and 20 percent of your tab ought to cover the cost of a package of Mutt Mitts for park use. Lots of protein. Real food for real people.
Perhaps the off-leash, dog park movement will expand to New Mexico, Arkansas... or maybe Jersey.
