After 29 years, I know nearly every dog in this town — two-legged and four-legged. Many four-legged dogs are the better conversationalists, but that’s beside the point.
I’ve had plenty of time to observe dogs, children, people and even birds interact with their species, and I must agree with Susan O’Neal’s request for a temporary small-dog park for the same reasons I stop handing out balloons at the fountain when the older kids, especially boys, come on the scene. The kids don’t mean to be rough, but they are. They can and do hurt the smaller of their lots. Some big dogs do mean to hurt little dogs.
This big dog fetish in Aspen seems as silly to me as people who hang their sexual identity and prowess on whether or not they like cats.
