[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turning it into a dog park is not working it out.  So I guess you are going to overpower her with your HOA status.  Well, I guess that's all you have.  Must be nice to have such a simple life.  How old are you, 15?[/quote]

How can you both be against off leash dogs and against turning the area into a dog park?  How is this not working it out since the problem was off leash dogs not the use of a sloped wooded area?  I'm not the OP, but it seems like this is being constructive instead of being pointlessly negative about the situation.  [/quote]

I'm always struck that the same people leading the outcry about off-leash dogs often seem to also be opposed to dog parks. They say they're not against dogs per se, just off-leash dogs on the streets, but they often actively oppose official neighborhood dog parks. It's a little like the people who gripe about bikes on the bike paths, but then have a fit if a dedicated bike lane is put in on a street. Dogs aren't going away, dogs and the community they live in are better off if the dogs get regular, off-leash exercise and it would be in everyone's best interests to find ways to make that happen. Sounds to me like OP is making a rational choice -- work through official channels to create a safe zone for dogs that people can go to or avoid as they choose so neither she nor her neighbor find themselves at odds. Why in the world would someone condemn OP for that?
