If you really want to hear about it, I suppose they call it the Town of Mount Pleasant Dog Park,…read moreits on Rd. Ive heard it calledvRifle Range Dog Park when i lived there, or depending on which stupid sign you're looking at.
And right off the bat, they've got all these official looking metal signs posted everywhere, therebis a lot of signs and i read them all, stain on me if i break a rule.
They put up a big sign that says "SMALL DOGS" right on the fence, as if the small dogs give a damn about reading signs or care which side of the chain-link fence they're supposed to stand on. My big dogs love small dogs and hate big dogs, how peculiar is that?
And then there's this ridiculous notice from the Mount Pleasant Waterworks that practically apologizes for existing. It literally tells you that the place is right next to a wastewater treatment plant, and that "at times, odors from this plant can be less than appealing," but "unfortunately, those odors cannot be eliminated." That killed me. I mean, at least they're honest about the smell, but it's just so depressing when people try to sound all polite and formal while telling you the whole place smells like sewage.
They've got rules posted all over the place, too. Endless lists of stupid things you can and can't do, like everybody's going to read a giant essay on a fence before letting their hound run around. But the dogs don't care about any of it. There was this one collie just sitting out on the dirt trail in the woods, looking around like he was the only genuine thing in the whole damn state of South Carolina. Dogs are alright, mostly. They don't act fake or pretend to be something they're not, unlike the people who put up fifty rules and a giant sign warning you about bad smells.
Anyway, if you like walking around in the woods near a water plant with a bunch of chain-link fences and warning signs everywhere, it's fine, I guess. It just depresses the hell out of me.
