Open Carry at Dog Park: Interesting Choice?

Just took my kid and my dog to Harlinsdale dog park and was not amused to find someone kitted out in camo pants with a full duty belt and no identification. I'm just assuming this is totally legal so the best course of action for me was to just leave.

I'm not sure this is really what the forefathers had in mind, but what do I know.

Is this normal? Is this what we want in our town?

Fire ants?

Hey there!

My family is looking to possibly move away from Florida. Last year our daughter stepped into a fire ant hill and went into full anaphylactic shock. It was terrifying. We’ve spent alot of time looking at a move to areas that aren’t infested.

In our area they are absolutely everywhere. Every park in town is covered with them 5 months of the year and are unusable to us now. We hired a professional company to treat the ants that pop up in our yard this summer and they couldn’t keep up with them either, even with us spot treating weekly.

We visited Franklin and loved the area. We are aware there may still be (some) ants. All the maps and data we have read are that they are present here and there, mostly in less suburban areas, and not a major issue at public amenities.

So, what do you think? We’re looking for thoughts on this from locals. Right now we have to watch her step everywhere we go. We realize unless we move to the PNW that there will be some risk anywhere we go.

Just trying to make sure a move there would indeed be an improvement in quality of life for us in this area. We want her to be able to be barefoot in the backyard again.

Thanks for any insight!

Dog Daycare!

Hello!

Im looking for a good dog daycare option that offers daycare on the weekends, specifically Saturdays. I dont always have to work weekends but when I do I would love a place to take my puppy so he doesn't have to be home alone.

I'll take any location recommendations, like Nashville, Brentwood, etc. Thank you so much!!
