Chippewa Falls doggies to engage in excessive tail wagging

Mike Paulus |

Some Chippewa Valley dogs are about to get really happy. The Chippewa Falls Happy Trails Dog Park will be opening on Saturday with a ceremony at noon. The 50 acre site is located at 841 Chippewa Crossing Boulevard (in Chippewa Falls, of course) and was made possible by the city and a group of volunteers. It’s open year round. More details.

We’ve got a special pets section coming out in next week’s issue, and it’s got us thinking about the general pet-friendliness of the Chippewa Valley. What do all you animal owners think? I guess any kind of municipal or public “pet-friendliness” really comes down to dogs, since there aren’t many other pets people take with them whilst out and about. No one’s clamoring for a “cat park” or debating llama leash laws.

But do we have enough dog parks? Is it easy enough to live with your pets around here? We’re curious.
