No Dogs Allowed

Seems dogs aren’t welcome at the grand opening of this dog park. Madison.com reports

McFarland is holding a “leash cutting” celebration at its new dog park Thursday night. But the dogs have to stay home.

“Please NO dogs for the event,” a news release said of the gathering at 6 p.m. Instead, it is a chance for people to “see the park without their dogs and get a feel for the layout,” said village Trustee Sally Hansen. “We didn’t want to have too many dogs there all at once.”

Eventually, plans are dogs will get their day, by special permission only. My guess, it’s an exclusive club, since only Village of McFarland permits are accepted.

The dogs will finally get their day starting Friday, when the park at Elvehjem Road at Perrot Place will be open from dawn to dusk to properly permitted dogs. Permits can be purchased at the McFarland Municipal Center, 5915 Milwaukee St. A Dane County dog park permit is not adequate for the new 7-acre park because is too small to qualify for the county dog park system.

I’m wondering if parrots are allowed?
