Beach Drive Blog

A BDB Reader emailed me this afternoon wanting to know if anyone knows of attempts for petitions for off leash dog areas in Lincoln Park.

She would like to know if anyone is " has knowledge of past attempts or is interested in championing the cause"?

If anyone has any information on this, please comment on this post or email me.

Update:  We are getting some interest in a leash free zone for Lincoln Park   If you leave a comment with your email address (you’re prompted to), then others who are interested in this cause, can contact you.   If you do not want your email address on this blog, then simply send me the email and I can post your comments under my email address instead.

Beach Drive Blog, i.e. neighbors looking out for each other, has helped getting another pet back to it’s home.   

Thank you..the blog already found him..some one was walking on Jacobsen found him out of the yard and took him to the animal shelter. they saw the notice on the blog and called us and we will go get him in the morning.  Thanks again!

If you find a missing pet, please feel free to send us an email, in addition to what ever else you’re doing to find the pet’s home.   BDB is more than happy to post the lost pet looking for their humans or vice versa.

Pogo is a 12 year old black lab with a little bit of white on both front paws.  He’s on medication for seizures and needs to be back with his family who lives on Jacobsen.   Please contact them by email.

Update:  Pogo has been found!

A week and a half ago, BDB reported on a lost cat, Wookie.   I’m pleased to announce that Wookie has been reunited with his family.   

Wookie disappeared Sunday Feb 11 after we had inadvertently left him out alone while we all went out for the day. He had a name tag with our phone number. After posting all the houses in the neighborhood the mail lady and all telephone poles we put an ad in the Times then on BDB. The animal shelters had no report on him dead or alive. Tuesday Feb 20 we left on vacation with heavy hearts. Monday morning Feb 26 we got a call from our next door neighbor about a skittish cat they could not get a good look at who had been living under their hot tub for a few days…. We returned as scheduled that night to find a very dirty smelly and skinny Wookie name tag still in tact.

We have been enjoying a very happy reunion as our dog and and children had become quite attached since we got Wookie Aug 9th as a birthday present.  Thanks for your help!
