somerville dog: a weblog

Today is the first day of a one-month e-conference about planning for a dog-friendly community: The Ithaca Conference. The conference is intended for community planners, activists (read: "dog owners"), tourism consultants, and entrepreneurs in pet and related sectors. This week's topic is "dog parks." Jump in and join the fray.

The e-conference will lay the groundwork for a live conference in Ithaca on April 22. Details are available at ithacaconference.com.
