Winter and Dark Nights

 I recently recieved this letter from a local resident, that I would like to share with you.
"We take our dog often to the park at Sam Smith, but now we get home too late and it is very dark.  During the summer I heard talk of indoor dog park in this area?"

After a quick search I did find info on an indoor venue located near Dixie and Dundas - but it was is paid venue. They also have a smaller facility in Port Credit. 

I think it would be nice if the Sam Smith park had lights- and I believe some of the Mississauga ones do. Jack Darling states it has lights so maybe it is a good choice until we can get lights in Sam Smith. Check out http://www.leashfreemississauga.com/  


In the mean time- I suggest that we contact our local councillor to ask about lights- as well as the promised trees and other features promised long ago.

Stay warm and safe this winter- and enjoy the dog play

Do you know this man?

Recently there was a tragic incident at the Colonel Sam Smith dog park. We ask if you know the owner or dog to report it to the police: 22 Division- Officer Purvis 416-808-2222

On July 15th around 8 or 9 pm a young woman entered the fenced dog run with her small 6lb Morkie. Upon entry, an uncollared greyhound dog, unprovoked, attacked the small dog. The young woman managed to separate the two dogs but the owner of the greyhound left as the woman called the Vet ER for aid, with no regard for the injured animal and the grieving owner. The seriously injured dog was taken by the young woman and a kind passerby to the local vet hospital where the dog unfortunately died of his injuries.

We are asking if anyone knows of a white male, mid 30's, with dirty blonde hair and stocky build who drives an older model (2002-04) burgundy Audi and has a tan greyhound with a scar on the back- to contact the police.
