So I am excited about the possibility of a new dog park and maybe a new special member of the Lovell family. Pet relationships are not for everyone but if it is right for you, it can be very special. I, of course, highly recommend it for all the reasons listed above and many more that you would only understand if you are a pet owner.

D

I spent a lot of time with Louis walking in our parks. He was a great listener and never judgmental. He was an excellent therapist in times of stress. He was a great teacher too and taught us many important life lessons. There surely is a special place for the animal friends when they leave us. They are not human yet they bring out our own humanity. They do not worry about fame or fortune. Instead, they bring our hearts nearer to the joy of the simple things in life.

We miss Louis. He was a part of our heart and that part is now gone but not to be forgotten.

(Such is the way with dogs and Louis would say with his humans.)

My family shares in the benefit of responsible pet ownership. That also means, however, adjusting to the loss of these great friends periodically too. I have written of that experience in columns before and unfortunately the timing of this project marks another loss in our family when our golden eyed chocolate lab “Louis” passed away in August.

These small parks are able to provide a great physical outlet for pet owners and their dogs not to mention the social opportunity for pet owners to talk about their dogs.

NC

The new, yet to be named, dog park has been made possible by the generous donation of 5 acres of land off Victoria Drive by Polytainers Corporation. The design and construction and maintenance cost analysis is currently underway.

It was not always a popular idea and we received our share of good natured abuse when the dog park idea came up, i.e., “LSPR is going to the dogs!” With over 200 dogs going to Happy Tails daily and an equal number of citizens going, it is safe to say we did go to the dogs in a big way.

Each day they teach us little lessons like...

• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a ride • Enjoy the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face • When loved ones come home, always greet them enthusiastically • Know when it’s time for obedience and when it’s time for unbridled excitement • Run, romp and play daily • Be loyal • Never pretend to be something you’re not • If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it • When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently • Let people touch you • Avoid biting when a simple growl will do • On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass • On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree • Relish opportunities to play in the water • When you’re happy, share it • No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t sulk, run right back and make friends • Delight in the simple joy of a long walk • Always offer unconditional love to those you love

E XC E L

As we begin planning for our second dog park I cannot help but think of the amazing popularity of Happy Tails and the great partnership we have with Lee’s Summit Water Utilities.

Lee’s Summit Historical Cemetery Corner Mausoleums

A

t the present time there is one mausoleum constructed in the Lee’s Summit Historical Cemetery. The mausoleum is located in the southeast corner of the Cemetery. The mausoleum contains 6 crypts. The date 1905 above the door probably indicates the year of completion. Each crypt has two doors; an inner of concrete and an outer of marble which has been engraved.

The history of the mausoleum started hundreds of years ago in Turkey. The word mausoleum has its beginnings with the burial of King Mausolus near modern day Bodrum. The mausoleum is considered the first one built and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Mausoleums became popular in European countries before the idea became popular during the 1920’s when California cemeteries built hundreds. Since then, the building of mausoleums has spread throughout the United States.

The mausoleum is constructed using the ‘honeycomb ‘method resembling a ‘beehive’. Concrete with reinforced steel bars provides a strong, durable structure with stucco finish inside and out. Each crypt has several holes in the sides that leads to pipes which extend to the top of the building and allows the continuous flow of fresh air.

The Historical Cemetery Corner is written by Bill Rust, Lee’s Summit Historical Cemetery Sexton. Visit www.lsparks.net for an interactive map of the cemetery, a great tool for locating grave spaces.
