Submitted by Chris Beithkitchen

Hi everyone. It has been brought to my attention that people are using the kitchen but not cleaning up. If you use anything in the kitchen, please be sure to clean up after yourself. This includes wiping out microwave, washing AND putting dishes, utensils etc. and cookware away.

Please everyone, let’s do our part in keeping our park clean. Thank you.

April Pet of the Month

Posted on April 19, 2025 by webadmin

Furry Friends

Say hello to Dottie.  Dottie is a 16-year-old mixed breed of love and care.  Lee Roy’s late wife, Carol, was wandering through the flea market in Bowling Green, Kentucky, when she spotted this little girl, and it was love at first glance. Dottie was so tiny, she fit into Carol’s shirt pocket.  As time went on, Dottie and Carol developed a special bond.   Dottie was licensed as a support animal for Carol.   

Dottie was the first one in the kitchen in the morning.  She was a hungry little one.  She was also very clever.  One day Lee Roy and Carol could not

 find her anywhere.  It was discovered that Dottie used the Afghan on the

 couch to pull her little frame onto the couch and then cover herself.  Lee Roy and Carol finally found her after many scary moments while Dottie was snoozing away under the Afghan.

If you want to meet Dottie just stop by Lee Roy’s lot, #203.  And, make sure and bring a treat.
