Dog Park - an EDOA Members' Survey The results of the EDOA Dog Park Survey have been released. Participation was extraordinary.
See the analysis and comments made by participants.
Please note: there is no dog park in Eastham planned or sought at this time. This survey was solely for
the purpose of assessing member interest and point of view on the topic. Eastham Dog Owners' Association has taken
no position on a dog park for Eastham.

Bow Wow Bash / Scholarship Award Announced
Another
great success. Upwards of 75 dog owners gathered for a hot dog while their dogs played among the sand dunes of Cape
Cod. No dogs were harmed in the eating of the hot dogs. Members contributed watermelon, baked goods and doggie
treats. Dogs and their humans socialized in the bright, cool atmoshpere along the banks of Cape Cod Bay.
Photos have been going up on the Facebook site. (See link above).
Thanks to all who organized and contributed.
This is a wonderful group to work with and many hands make the chores of the day light. GREAT FUN DAY!
The winner
of the Buddy Scholarship were announced. The recipient of a $1000.00 award was Kaitlin Flanagan of Wellfleet.
Katie graduated from Nauset High School and is enrolled in the pre-vet program (Animal Science major) at University of Massachusetts,
Amherst. Congratulations!

Dog walkers and Neighborhood Watch A perfect match for community service!
The Neighborhood Watch of Eastham is interested in recruiting new volunteers. Many EDOA members are also
Neighborhood Watch Block Captains and it makes perfect sense. Dog owners are walking their pets through Eastham's
neighborhoods so why not get a little training and keep an eye on our community at the same time? Interested?
More information and contacts.

Coyotes are Active The
Massachusetts Division of Wildlife informs us that this is the season of increased coyote interaction with humans and pets.
Peter Trull, guest speaker at EDOA 2012 Annual Meeting advised that caution and awareness not fear and loathing should
guide us. He holds that coyotes or perhaps more accurately CoyWolves are wild animals most interested in easy meals
and protecting themselves from harm. Control access to pet and wild bird food, and garbage. Don't put your
pet in a position of being a threat to the wild animal, barking or chasing. Take special care with small dogs who might resemble
prey to the coywolves. More from Cape Cod Today
