play outside in the backyard. Since we have 4 now, we usually play all together with them. We don't <br />walk the old ones much out of consideration to neighbors that may be scared of the breed, not because <br />they are dangerous. We don't have to limit ourselves, yet we have as we understand how others may <br />feel. We instead play in the back with them and as time permits, we take them to dog parks. We have <br />never had issues with them at dog parks; we also take our dogs for ice cream at dairy queen and Cold <br />Stone without incident each time. —They love ice cream! <br />Lastly, <br />We want to do the right thing as responsible owners; denying this permit does not change the fact that <br />we still have the Rotties and they will continue to behave as normal dogs do when people come close to <br />their family and property. We believe that this special permit imposes more rigorous rules to us which <br />will provide with more safety and peace of mind to neighbors than what the current regulations allow, <br />while allowing our family to keep all our dogs with us. <br />We are very attached to each one on its unique way. Denying this request would mean we would have <br />to part ways with one of our dogs which will ultimate hurt our kids. In addition, a denial would mean to <br />go back to No restrictions on the 3 remaining dogs, which would not solve nor help the way our <br />neighbor feels about them. <br />We are confident we can continue to provide a safe environment to all neighbors with the restrictions <br />imposed and the modifications requested, along with our extra measurements listed. <br />As a mother with young kids still, I understand the concerns of others and I am very sensitive to them. <br />But I also feel that aside from being very sensitive to the feelings of others and thus very proactive, we <br />have proper measurements in place, and we do our part to compromise and be fair to others. If <br />invisible fences were not working, they would not be legal. The product works, and we are committed <br />to ensure we keep it that way. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration, <br />Respectfully, <br />Laura Schwartz <br />
