My teeth almost started falling out of my mouth when I read the saccharine [column] regarding the four dogs owned by the Spongs.
While there are times when governing entities need to consider mitigating circumstances when applying a regulation, the situation of someone's desire to have four dogs as opposed to three dogs is not one of those situations.
Our region is on the brink of undergoing massive changes. City council, city staff, and the Northern View folks have far more important issues which need to be explored, analyzed, discussed, and hopefully resolved.
Suggesting that council and staff should devote time to this dog issue is not a good use of their time nor, I believe, of newsprint.
