Dear Frankie

June 17, 2026 by Staff Writer

Annual Dog Park Dance

Dear Frankie,

The dog park dance is coming up, and it’s already a disaster. 

Many of the boy dogs have boycotted the dance because of the dress code and the overkill in supervision. Some of the girls have decided to go as a couple. 

Only a few girls and boys are planning to go. 

But my problem is that no one has invited me. I’m beyond humiliated.

Dear Gladys,  

When did a dance turn into a committee meeting before it even started? Someone needs to call a meeting at the dog park — get the dress code sorted, ease up on the supervision, and make this dance something that the dogs will want to attend. More dogs, more invitations. 

And if yours still doesn’t come? Pick up the phone or paw a text and invite someone yourself. 

Best, Frankie
