This is a response to “Can’t sidestep the dog issue,” and I do hope it gets published, for I know a lot of Malibu Road residents have written letters to your newspaper and did not get published. You must be fair.
You mean everyone is badmouthing two people who don’t like dogs on Malibu Rd.? This is not badmouthing, it is the truth, they are not made up stories. Contrary to your belief, all of us dog owners know the laws, we would be the biggest fools not to clean up our expensive backyards, not only do we clean up after our dogs, we clean up after visitor dogs. Even prior to this madness, residents of the road were united in an effort to educate visitor dog walkers, we posted signs along the road informing them of the law and the fines.
You said it yourself, the “public” parking lot at Zuma. This is a different issue, these are our homes, and we take pride in our neighborhood, perhaps you should talk to your neighbor, as the saying goes, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
