This is my end of the year plea for dog owners to be responsible for picking up their dogs’ poop.  The poop is piling up on the streets of Paa-Ko and residents are complaining to me.  Some residents are going the extra mile on their walks and picking up other peoples dogs poop, and some are also picking up poop along the shoulder of the road in front of their properties.  Some of these people don’t even have dogs.  Not really fair to these kind souls.  Thank you to all who go that extra mile to clean up after others lack of responsibility.

I know ‘tis the season to believe in many things like Santa Claus, Rudolph, and Elf-on-the-Shelf, but the Poop Fairy isn’t on that list.

Melissa Chavez, our HOA Community Association Manager at Associa Canyon Gate Management, has sent the paragraph from the CC&R's related to barking and loose dogs.  Please be mindful of neighbors if your dog is one of those who barks incessantly.  Also, dogs are not allowed to run loose and must be contained within a fenced yard.

The loose Labradoodles this week having been running around Canyon Ridge every day - coming towards cars, barking and growling at walkers and joggers to the point of some people being afraid.  The owners apparently live on Canyon Ridge.  Please call Animal Control at 505-314-0280 if you see the dogs out again.

Please be aware of your surroundings when outdoors.  Bears have been spotted in Canyon Ridge and Kiva areas, Chaco Loop,
Paa-Ko Drive and Moccasin.  Some may have little ones nearby.  

Keep your trash inside until trash pick up day and take down feeders at night.  Don’t tempt the bears.  The bear on Tewa got the residents bird feeders.
