Another local dog park in the works?
An article this month in one of our Daily Breeze sister papers, the Palos Verdes Peninsula News, reports that the idea of an off-leash dog park to serve all of the cities on the peninsula is being raised during planning sessions for the area's so-called Coast Vision Plan for Rancho Palos Verdes.
The Vision Plan, to be completed in June or July, could include a variety of uses, from a pool to land for farming to a high-end companion animal center, according to the story by reporter Ashley Ratcliff..
But one thing residents, many from the city of Palos Verdes Estates, said was missing from the Vision Plan was a dog park that would serve the entire peninsula. Clark said City Manager Carolyn Lehr currently is exploring the venture with officials in the sister cities on the hill. "Stay tuned, because we're not going to let that item go away," Clark said.

From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
