Hopeful for better manners at dog park

| March 21, 2023 7:00 AM

Dear Editor,

I would like to thank Lincoln County for providing Libby with a dog park.

The doggies love it and are so excited when they see a newcomer of their own kind arriving to play.

The county also gave the dogs a fire hydrant to do their business not forgetting the wee dogs who have their own play area with a wee hydrant.

However, the humans do not seem to have any respect for others as they ignore the signs that kindly ask dog owners to please pick up your dogs “poop.”

Not only the signs but the county very kindly provide plastic bags to gather up said “poop” and a garbage can to deposit the same.

The last time I was at the park I was disgusted as some dog owner on the way out had allowed their dog to “poop” in the little entrance way and just leave it. The plastic bags are within arm's length.

I have visited the Whitefish and Kalispell dog parks and believe it or not, no “poop” so come on Libby, pick up your poop. (Dog poop that is).

Respectfully,

Ray Eanes, Libby
