A to Z Challenge: D is For Dogs




Lots of people bring their dogs camping at Sunset Bay State Park.  It's pet-friendly.  One couple even had their pet ferrets...three of them!  Most campers follow the rules and keep their pets on a leash in the park.  The ferret couple stuffed them in their shirts and carried them around.  For those who don't know the rules,  there are helpful signs to remind them.  I especially like this one...


The sign reads, "NOTICE DOG OWNERS  DOG NUISANCES MUST BE REMOVED"

I'd never seen "nuisances" used as a synonym this way.  I'll have to remember this the next time I say to someone, "I hope I'm not being a nuisance."  It's a whole new meaning!

  1. It could extend to the dog itself. Or, the owner, since a nuisance dog began with an irresponsible owner.

  3. Sunset Bay as in Coos Bay? When is your day off? We could meet for lunch. I left you my email, for when you get down here; if you camp where you did last, we're just a bike ride away, or a canoe ride away. We definitely have to have you over for a long conversation and a cooking party.

  4. Using the word "nuisance" for doggy do is quite creative. Scoop your poop works for me.

  5. My five little dogs have never been to a dog park. I'd be afraid of fleas, aggressive dogs, parvovirus, etc.

    I'm visiting from the A to Z Challenge.

  6. It is an odd way to say "poop" but it really is a "nuisance" when you step in it...
