In response to Jo Robertson's letter about the off-leash area for dogs, our family spends a lot of time in Pebble Hill parks and have wonderful interactions with dogs and their owners daily, knowing most dogs and families by name.

We live in a great and friendly community, so I feel that raising fences and creating exclusive off-leash areas is really unnecessary. Let’s embrace and enjoy the freedom we have here and share our resources.

We have yet to meet an aggressive dog, and if a dog is aggressive, it probably shouldn't be off leash with other dogs.

Also, many of the kids love the bike trails there, so why take that away? Regarding the comments around nasty falls from little bumps and epidemics of giardia, talk about dramatic.

Let's just all get along and focus our energies and resources on areas we can collectively make some positive change.
