Astrid:

That is splendid news!

Good God! Neighborhood awareness from an apartment developer!!! Assuming this goes through and is maintained for all residents, then Gables, you did a wonderful thing.

Kudos, and I will recommend your development.
As noted, I live only a few hundred yards away in a house with a yard. It’s defiled daily by my single-family neighbors’ spoiled mutts/lazy owners-just too tempting for these law-breaking bad neighbors. Now, I don’t have to deal with hundreds of new dogs - a real live, looming shitstorm.

Please follow through on this one! Excellent!

West Ave is constructing a dog park on the 7th level of their parking structure. It will have both grass and concrete–so every dog can poo regardless of preference.

I think Gables is a very capable developer and see this as a great contribution to Houston. This group is investing, which has to be well north of $100 million, in Houston. The jobs it has created and the business and the jobs it will create seem to me a little more important than where the dog poops. My stab at a positive spin. Emme, you dog whisperer,you, nice theory, never met a success that did not have both ego and high self esteem, but was always tempered with humility, but I am not a human whisperer.

Why don’t you go talk about your dogs at the Starbucks on Shepherd?? I just wasted two minutes of my life reading through this thread that has nothing to do with West Ave.

From Brad:

Not everyone’s dog is trained or smart or domesticated.
==================================
The same could be said about a lot of their owners!

If everyone owned Chihuahuas the dog waste issue would be much smaller. Not everyone’s dog is trained or smart or domesticated. Many poeple who live there will have medium-large dogs and not think before buying/leasing. The density of cars in that area will be insane, the corner has been a busy one since the 60s and will one to be avoided.

BTW, I love dogs… a lot.

I don’t know that to be true, it would certainly not be as snarky and therefore less fun.

Emme, if we took out all of the comments where we make the assumption that our opinions are also ascribed to by other members of our neighborhood, social group etc etc then the site would be a barren wasteland :)

Chihuahuas have large egos, not high self esteem. Ego is based on false pride and self esteem is based on humility.

Having said that, I love my two chihuahuas, ego or not and the long haired chihuahuas are beyond adorable.

I my dog has low self esteem, then someone needs to notify him of that because he hasn’t gotten the message.

Also, I don’t let him poop on public paving. I take care of that in the corner of my patio, then it’s off to walking!
