I agree with the planning commission’s recent decision to allow the Crook County kennel to remain in operation as it is. The kennel operator is obviously conscientious and is being harassed. I have little sympathy for anyone who purchases property in the “country” and later claims they had no knowledge of the area they purchased in. If there are dog kennels, there are dogs. If there are horses, there are flies. If there’s an airport, there are planes.

The “duh” factor here is astonishing, and I hope the kennel remains for another 30 years!
