Hello from DallasDogLife!
I want to start this newsletter by thanking you all for being such strong supporters of DallasDogLife.com. I hope everyone is finding the information on the site useful, timely, and relevant. In one week, DallasDogLife will be celebrating its one-year anniversary and I want to make sure that DDL continues to improve and remain helpful to all of you. I'm working on some changes to the site - some columns will go away and be replaced with other content and you'll notice a few aesthetic changes as well. If you have any suggestions for new features or comments about content that you'd like to see on the site, please email me at yvonne@dallasdoglife.com. I appreciate any and all feedback!
Featured Review: Dog Park at Jack Carter Park
The Jack Carter Dog Park is located just off Spring Creek between Custer Road and Independence Parkway in the heart of Plano. Equipped with park benches, doggie doo bag dispensers, dog baths, water fountains, and a full two acres of play area, this dog park is a great place to take your dog to socialize and play. Read the full review here.
