DOGS HAVE A PLACE TO PLAY
Foster City, CA, Dog-Run is very popular. Driving along Foster City Blvd., going south, before you come to Marlon Cove shopping area, and on the north side of the canal, which runs throughout the city--all the canals run through the city--you will find a fenced-in area: it's the Foster City Dog-Run.
It's free for the residents of Foster City, as long as they obey the rules that they have set: keep the gates close and secured; pick up all the poop; and keep an eye on your dog so that there's no dog-fights.
My daughter and her husband took our little dog, Sparky, and his little friend, Angelina, their daughter, to the park. No sooner that they got there, Sparky jumped out of my daughters hand and took of running. They said that the dog just wanted to run, run, and run. When they caught Sparky they gave him to their little daughter to hold. Within minutes, he got away and took off running. "He would not stop," according to my daughter, "he just kept on running."
Talking to a man sitting in a chair--he was reading a book( Kerplunk, by Pat McManus) while his dog was playing; and he did not want his name mentioned), said, " I like bringing my dog to the dog-run. I can sit and read a book or newspaper
and not be too worried about 'Bro', my dog. Darn it! He did it again. Excuse me!"
That is the only real problem, according to several people, that there is here at the run. The other one is to make sure that the gates are closed and secured.
Oh! I forgot to mention: there are two sections for dogs. One is for big dogs, and one for small dogs. Can you guess which one looks like it gets the most use? That's right! The area for the small dogs. Does this indicate that there are more small dogs in Foster City than big ones?
