After at least 4 long weeks, the adorable beagle who has been running free in Landsdowne has been captured safely tonight.  He will be taken to a local veterinarian tomorrow to be checked for a microchip and also to be evaluated medically.  Once that is completed the next step will be determined.

 

If, by any chance this is your dog -- or if you have information who it may belong to -- please let us know  (Cindi Potter -- 571-237-5813 -- cindi.potter@gmail.com).  If the owner is not located or if you wish to foster the dog or to give him a forever home please also let us know.

 

Thank You everyone who have spent hours and hours over the last 4+ weeks trying to located, feed, and capture the pup.  He is adorable and deserves better than a life running free.

 

Wow.  2012 is really here!  Please take time, now, to send along your Marquee (message board) requests for this year.  We will be happy to add them to the master calendar up to one year in advance.  Birthdays and anniversaries are the same date every year -- so please do not wait until a day or two ahead of time and then hope the date will still be available.  See the request for the "hold the date" and a basic message now -- and tweak the message closer to the time. 

 

In general, messages will be posted on one marquee only -- two if nothing else is also needed for a particular day.  Please remember -- these are high usage community elements so please don't wait to send your request.

 

We are also looking into the possibility (and affordability) of adding electronic message boards to Landsdowne.  Stay tuned.

Thanks.

 

The poor pup is very skiddish -- looks disoriented -- and we are sure would like to find it's owner.  We are sure it is searching desperately for its family.  The dog retreats when approached so if you see the dog, please approach slowly and probably with food and water in hand.  We suspect it has not eaten for several days.  Most likely, the dog got out over the holidays while in the care of friends and the owners may very well not know the dog is missing. If you are missing the beagle -- or know of someone who is -- please send us additional details (communications@landsdowne.org ).  We would love to assist in getting this pup back home for New Years. Thanks! Many Concerned Pet Owners

This time of year is always stressful when the holidays approach -- and word of a new budget, usually with an associated dues increase comes in the mail.  Yes -- it's the best of times -- it's the worst of times. 

We know everyone is watching their finances -- and extra expense is hard on us all.  We would really like to know -- what would you do to right here at home to help raise the money we need to keep our community whole -- if not through an increase in dues?  What would you add or subtract from services and amenities to keep costs down?

 

Please be candid and creative.  Post your ideas below or send them to any BOD member -- addresses found on the Contact Us Page. 

 

Thank You!
