My family painted the hydrant at Monroe & Forest. I still live in the same house on Bayview…Read More Ave. The hydrant we painted, sadly has been replaced with a standard one.
But, I do have pictures. We painted the hydrant on the 4th of July, in the blazing sun, and were so proud of the resulting, Bicentennial Snoopy, and Woodstock sitting on the post nearby.

Thanks, Frank. I don't mean to sugarcoat the Chihuahua problem at all. This latest column was…Read More intentionally light because the subject was "birthday parties." We have written anzd spoken about Chihuahuas many times. And backyard breeding is a significant factor. Still, we have a difficult time seeing how dollars spent on additional enforcement will be more impactful than the incentives we have planned. Consider this: in the six years we've offered free spay/neuter surgeries to targeted communities, we've averaged almost 1,000 surgeries per year. If we had devoted the same dollars and resources to enforcement or legislation, I don't think our efforts would have come close to matching this and would likely have been difficult to measure. That said, we routinely look at many approaches to this serious issue. Again, thank for taking the time to write. -- Scott

Joan, Great job on the coverage of this event, the photo's really add value to your article. The…Read More Belmont firefigthers really deserve ALOT of credit for volunteering a good part of their day off to help gather funds for such a GREAT organization. I stopped by and spoke with Captain Tarantino who really seemed to enjoy not only helping to collect the funds, but also having a chance to speak with some of the Belmont residents. I recently met Captain Tarantino when he and his fire engine crew stopped by to visit our neighborhood on National Night Out, at the end of Carlmont Drive. Good job Belmont Firefighters.

Good question Claire....I'll be going down to take some photos shortly, so I'll bring this to their…Read More attention and ask about other ways to donate. Stay tuned!

I saw them on my way to work but they weren't standing in a spot where I could quickly stop and give…Read More them money. Is there another way we can donate?

Thank you residents of Belmont & San Carlos for watching over our doggie and helping us to…Read More reunite. One clue from Linda on Crestview and Buttercup broke the case right open. After combing the neighborhood, and asking everyone, more clues came of his "on the run habits" Many phone calls this morning too led us to reunite about 8:00.

There should be no problem with having your dog off leash in an open space, like a field or large…Read More area at the beach with no one around to distract you or the dog. However it is courteous to put your dog on its leash and it a lie down position when others walk by with or without a dog that look uneasy.
I have a white boxer, which is easily mistaken for a pitt bull or american bulldog and he loves to socialize, but only when the feeling is mutual with the other animal and owner.
My large breed dog has been attacked or ran up on by a small dog and bit in the face or on the legs plenty of times. Animals are creatures of habbit and are scared just as much as their owners are. The more relaxed at at ease you are around your pet and re-assure them that they are alright, the better we will all be.
People need to get a grip on reality. It is a BIG world and there are TONS of people with pets out there...just be courteous and respectful, do not be a jerk and act like a victim.
Small dogs are just as dangerous as large dogs as well as being intimidated...it has nothing to do with the animals size, but it has everything to do with the animals intent.

Hey, I'm a bit out of your area but wonder if anyone is following up on the fate of the dog that…Read More belongs to the woman arrested for stabbing the guy in the lot behind Safeway. All articles mention that she was living In a van with her dog. In most cases of arrest the vehicle is impounded...often resulting in the owner not being able to retrieve it due to impound costs. But worse yet, what about her dog? Can someone in HMB follow up on this, or perhaps your heroes have already done so!!! Thanks!!!!

They get uniforms, have coaches and managers and they keep score. Results may be published in local…Read More newspapers or on online. Many parents believe their sons or daughters are playing little league baseball. Thanks.

It would be great to see a list of local places to donate blood. In the next month, the Red Cross…Read More website search lists only 2 places that are about 11 miles from Half Moon Bay. The rest of the donation opportunities are at least 20 miles away. I bet a lot of people would love to donate but they're not going to drive to Oakland to do it.
