FETCH! Needs your Help!
We hope you are having a great summer and have had a chance recently to enjoy Whidbey Island’s off-leash dog parks.
As you may already know, Island County Public Works has made some changes at Double Bluff Beach Park. They have installed a separate dog entrance, a separate dog water station, and several new picnic tables. In the near future, the parking lot will be re-paved and re-striped, and a beautiful new sign will reside over the dog entrance.
However, we are currently experiencing a problem at Double Bluff and would like to enlist our members’ help. The Island County Parks Superintendent has informed us that some dog p**p is not being picked up on the beach. The p**p has been left on the beach or on the wet sand (thus, letting it mix with the water), or it is being stepped on by adults and children. The County is concerned that if the coliform count goes up when the County tests the water there, the beach may have to be closed.
You can help us to ensure that this won’t happen! Here’s how: During your visits to Double Bluff, grab some extra p**p bags as you enter the park, and pick up any stray p**p that you see as you make your way up the beach (be sure to deposit all bags in the trash cans at the park entrance). Additionally, you’ll have extras on hand to hand a bag to someone who may have forgotten to grab their own bags at the entrance.
Please feel free to copy and forward this message to anyone you think should know about it.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
