Expanded Run-A-Muck parking is a welcome addition
On any given weekend morning, Run-A-Muck, Park City’s first off-leash dog trail will see hundreds of visitors. It’s one of the shining successes of Summit County in recent memory. Within the last few weeks, that experience has become even better. While the trails were always great, the parking left something to be desired. The main lot …
I’m sorry…
It was one of those mornings. I “walk my kids” at Gorgoza along with our nine month old puppy. Today, my 4 year old wanted me to tell him the story about how I “swam with ducks” in the Gorgoza pond. I faithfully obliged but then wasn’t paying attention to the dog. She spotted a …
Time to Start the War on Cats
Now that Park City has effectively ended the War on Dogs (bravo) by opening up regulations on off-leash dogs, we suppose it is time to turn our attention to another animal that may actually be wreaking more havoc in our ecosystem. No, this animal isn’t biting you at Round Valley. It isn’t knocking you off …
Is this stuff for real?
So, in Jeremy Ranch, we are experiencing more coyotes than I can remember. By experiencing I mean, seeing them around the open space, hearing them at night, reading about attacks, etc. My neighbor even saw one hanging out on my lawn one evening. That said, this is their land, and they are doing their own …
C’mon Park Record, We NEED You to Be Better
The Park Record does a good job of reporting what goes on around Park City. Having met many of Park Record reporters over the years, they are genuine and good people. I am also fondly aware of the fact that there isn’t always a lot to report here in Eden and understand that it must …
Oh the Carnage!
Only one day of off-leash dogs being legal in Round Valley and the death and destruction has already started. We found this skull on the trail. My 3 year old and I debated whether it was dinosaur or human…
Summit County Government Needs to Beware of Blowback on Recent Dog Actions
Blowback (n.): an unforeseen and unwanted effect, result, or set of repercussions Dogs. Who would have thought the topic would become so controversial. We can’t go a week without multiple letters to the editor appearing in the Park Record about dogs. Some people love them. Some people don’t. But I’m afraid it’s soon going to become …
How Do You Solve Off-leash Dogs when Skate Skiing or Biking?
In this weekend’s Park Record, Bart Nichols wrote an Guest Editorial entitled “Where the Dogs Don’t Run Free” about run-ins he had with police and animal control officers over the past few months. His pro-offleash-dog point was we need to come up with a compromise solution around off leash dogs. One of his points was …
If You Have a Dog That Is Even Slightly Aggressive, Please Keep Them on Leash
A few nights ago my 16 year old dog was attacked on a dog walk by an off leash dog. The dog rushed at my leashed companion, and when we tried to walk away, it jumped her.The dog bared its teeth, grabbed her by the shoulder, and yanked her down. Luckily the flashlight I carry doubles …
Me and My Mutt are Finally Legal in Summit County
If you are a dog owner like I am, you may occasionally run afoul of the law. I know, your dog, just like mine, is “perfect.” Your dog would never harm anyone. Your dog generally follows your commands. Everyone loves your dog. So, much like me, you let your canine companion run off leash. On occasion, things …
