Dogs at Bauer Park

What an entitled bunch of whiners live in Madison. People in the state are going hungry, the world's a mess, every day thousands suffer with disease, homelessness, mental illness and poverty. And the only thing you people have to occupy your mind is whether your dog gets to go off leash or not.

I've been watching/reading this dogs off leash debate and I have only 3 things to say, each of them is an indisputable, incontestable fact:

1. the bauer family did not put in a special clause to allow off leash dogs. off leash dogs are in violation of a state statue and a town ordinance. this is easily verified with the town and the state

2. the dog walkers were offered a 20 acre parcel just for dogs WHICH THEY TURNED DOWN

3. if anyone's dog is off leash and bites me or my child, i promise you i will have the dog put down and i will sue you for every nickel. i take that back. for every penny

now find something else to talk about and have a nice day

PS - i have shared my life and home with dogs for decades and currently live with three of them
