Max caught my eye and wanted to come over and say hello. 7/17/22 Click once to see the twinkle in his eye. Paul Goldfinger photograph.
Eileen and I were returning from a recital at the Bishop Janes on Sunday afternoon. We stopped for a rest in Evergreen Park when we spotted Max. He was relaxing when he heard me making some clicking sounds.
He raised an ear and then moved cautiously towards us. He didn’t bark. He is a perfect gentleman, and we got to pet him a few minutes later.
Max’s owner Olivia is from Neptune City, but she comes to the Grove “all the time.”
PATTY LUPONE. From Oliver.
So luv this post on Max —–From Max’ s owner Olivia. Luv all your song choices.
Editor: Hi Olivia..Glad to hear that you “luv” this post. I suspect that you and Max will return to OG from Neptune City.
On Saturday morning just after 9 am, I was walking along Wesley Lake when a large white dog being walked by a woman suddenly lurched toward me barking. The owner yelled, “No,” and the dog ceased its aggression. I hate to imagine what would have happened if the dog had gotten loose.
In the early days of OG, people frequently allowed dogs to run at large. This created problems and an Association rule, issued in 1878, required muzzles. Rabies became more of a problem by the 1890s and some people put out poison for dogs. Rabies vaccinations were strongly opposed for many years.
Finally, in 1926, the Association adopted a leash law. A comprehensive dog regulation from 1973 required rabies vaccinations and the humane treatment of canines.
