Tanglewood - No dogs allowed?

Dear BSO:

I went to take my darling dog Nessa on a stroll around Tanglewood on this crisp October day, only to see a sign, looking as if it had been constructed around 1971, inviting people to enjoy the grounds but preventing ball playing and pets. Nearby was another sign that permits ball playing, Frisbee, etc, "in designated places."

Well, what about the dogs, I ask? I think this policy was created back in the day before we all carried little plastic poo bags everywhere we go. My dad never pooped our family dog's poop, that's for sure. We are now a community of poop-conscious, leash-addicted dog owners, addicted to PetSmart and the Dog Whisperer. I understand the concern for the grass and I can see why you don't want to create the Tanglewood DogPark, but why allow frisbee playing and no dogs on leashes?

BSO, I strong advise you rethink your position. Remember how canny you were on July 4th, creating a family-friendly day for all. Remember that you need an audience with less snow on the roof. Open your arms to visitors and in the off season and let us take our furry companions.

Keep in mind - isn't it usually the two legged visitors that cause the most damage?

Thank you for your consideration -

The BG and her canine companion, Nessa
