GRAND LAKES PET ANNOUNCEMENTS
PICK UP AFTER YOUR PET “SCOOPAGE PET POOPAGE”. It may not be a fabulous way to walk, but please have courtesy to please school when your pet poops during your walks. Throughout the community trails, you will find areas to toss your pet’s poopage and in some areas, there are also bags. Carry your own grocery bags – you’ll be recycling at the same time! Many of your neighbors work hard with their lawn care and landscaping. Come with a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. Picking up after your pets shows your respect for every Grand Lakes homeowner and our beautiful community. Pet feces damages lawns and many residents are working hard to maintaining their grass!
