Marina Beach Master Plan:
Dog Park Stays!
We wish to THANK ALL THOSE THATPARTICIPATED in the Marina Beach Master PlanningOpen Houses. We are pleased to announce the CityCouncil has approved the last master plan rendition
which includes the off-leash area. Woof and YEAH!

Small Dog Area should be
utilized whenever possible
It is unfortunate to announce that a small dog was
attacked at the beach this summer. The little dog
survived and you can donate to the $5,000+ veterinary
bill at gofundme.com/littlebg or call 206-245-3499.
PLEASE remember, we DO HAVE a small dog area
and that while you may be attentive to your small dog,
there are other dog owners that are either training ornot as attentive. From our understanding the dog that
attacked was a lab-pit-bull mix puppy and the owner ofthe small dog was watching their other dog. If you
know anything about this, contact the local animalcontrol.

Complaints about not
picking up!
We know the summer months are hard for those of us“regulars” – but please, if you see dog poop that islying around, pick it up. Twice we had to send workcrews down to the beach to pick up garbage and thetremendous amount of poop that was found along thefence. REMEMBER – THIS IS YOUR PARK andduring the Marina Beach Master Planning, weindicated that it was a CLEAN BEACH as we pick up.

One of the best parts about being a kid and Fall isHalloween. Getting to dress up, going door-to-doorand getting candy. Although some people foods are ok
in moderation this is never the case with chocolate.
Chocolate can sicken and even kill dogs. It is themost common cause of poisoning in canines.

City, State, Zip: _________________________No amount of chocolate is ever OK for your dog. Whatmakes it poisonous to your pup? Chocolate is madefrom cocoa and the cocoa bean contains caffeine anda chemical compound called theobromine, which is
the real danger. Dogs metabolize this chemical much
more slowly than humans. Even small amounts ofchocolate can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs.
Toxic amounts can lead to hyperactivity, tremors, highblood pressure, a rapid heart rate, seizures,
respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.
