‘Imitation is the best form of flattery’

Charles Caleb Colton is attributed with the phrase ‘Imitation is the best form of flattery’.

And Springfield, especially SACARC should be flattered! As RAP posted today the RAM spinoff to Dog Days, and the fact Riverside is now shooting for a Dog Park. SACARC should be very proud indeed- the FIRST urban dog days, and successful PUBLIC dog park in Jacksonville, so popular you are now being imitated. Way to go SACARC!

couldn't agree with you more....I think it's great that they want to have their own dog park...I wish them well. As for Dog Days, SACARC has the corner on that

And speaking of Dog Days -

Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 24th when Dog Days returns to Confederate Park in Springfield!  Come out between 10 am and 3 pm and support Springfield Animal Care and Rescue Club.

Actually that's the Friends of Jacksonville Animals (FOJA)'s event called "Strut your Mutt".  It's unfortunate that it was scheduled for the same day as Dog Days but it is apparently a national event with a fixed date.   We're hoping folks will do the dog walk in the a.m. and come on over to Confederate Park afterwards. 

And who says there's nothing to do downtown?

Interesting Hoop Lady, because the flyers I saw plastered al over the place specifically stated RAM, with the RAP little logo. Perhaps the national event was in tiny little letters somewhere, because I clearly did not see it at all.
