A Much Higher Priority

Following up on the "Get Involved" post below...

Someone in the city wrote about a week and a half ago to let me know that our efforts are paying off. Apparently the city has begun to take notice and the dog run project is now on "a much higher priority" than it was just a couple of weeks ago.

This is great news and demonstrates the need to keep the profile of this issue as high as possible. For the most part the folks who can make this happen are not opposed to helping us. They just have a lot of other projects going on and need a little encouragement.

If the dog-owning community is silent and apathetic, the city will focus on other issues. If we say "10 years is long enough, it's time to produce results" in a unified voice, they will see the need and move to address it. If we can offer constructive input through e-mail, calls, and attendance at meetings they may even come up with new ideas to expedite things.

Keep up the good work all of you who are writing and calling!
