Talk show icon Oprah Winfrey designated April 30 as national "No Phone Zone Day." The nation's Media Life Coach launched a ban on texting and using cell phones while driving. Makes perfect sense. Should human denizens of the Genesee off-leash park refrain from talking or texting on their cell phones?As five-time Wimbledon champion John McEnroe might say "You can not be serious!"
Of course not. Most of us have used our cell phones at least once while we brought Sadie the Yellow Lab to Genesee.
But how many times have you seen some owner so engrossed in cell-phone conversation or texting that the individual doesn't notice.... her border collie taking a deuce on the other side of the park, his Viszla playing too rough with the other dogs, her Chihuahua sneaking out of the park.
Be a good steward when you and your canines visit the Genesee Dog Park. Ordering takeout from All Purpose Pizza or finalizing dinner plans at Verve Wine Bar and Cellar is flat out no excuse for neglect. Pay attention to your dog.
