Naples, Fla is named the “Best Beach Town to Live In” by WalletHub. Naples and the surrounding metropolitan area is ranked in the “Top 10 Best Adventure Destinations in the United States” by the U.S. Tourism Quality Index. Naples ranked #1 Least Polluted City in the United States by Realtor.com.

Naples is  one of the most beautiful cities in America.  Their real estate is very precious, but they manage to have 3 dog parks to the delight of residents and visitors.  Nearby are dog parks in Estero and Marco Island.  And almost all of these are “off the leash.”

Ocean Grove is a haven for canine friends and relatives.  If you have walked a dog in the Grove, you will attract all sorts of welcome attention.  It is about more than dogs in our town.  It’s about a civilized feature in a place that needs more of those.

This is one of those life style issues that get ignored by those in town who love our donations, support and taxes.    Go Scarlet Fliers!  Keep up the pressure for a dog park in OG.

E.:   Could you not let your dogs do their business on our grass?

DW:   I’m cleaning it up.

E:   The urine kills the grass.

DW:   I’m doing the best I can.

E.:   That’s why you have the dogs on a leash.

DW:  Well, it’s not really your grass–it belongs to the town.

E.:   I am responsible for the grass.We grow the grass and we take care of it.
