[Wynton]

Here is Max, the superdog.



By the way, this photo reminds me of the best example of a town ruining a good thing with unnecessary laws.

This photo was taken in a park that for years was used only by dog owners. There were many trails and open fields. Max was in heaven whenever we went there, because he got to be off leash. And a happy Max meant a happy Wynton.

Anyway, this place was totally unsupervised, but maintained with volunteer efforts. Dog owners - whom came from throughout the county - made sure the area was kept clean, and spent their own money and time spreading wood chips over muddy areas and clearing away dead brush.

All of this was ruined when the town -- pursuant to some anonymous pressure - decided to limit the off-leash hours to a couple of early morning hours a day, and require a hefty fee for using the park at ANY time with a dog.

Now, hardly anyone goes there. And when I go, we run into very few dogs for Max to romp with.

Thus ends my tale of woe.
