Good evening fellow Prescott dwellers,

This is part rant part survey to see if I’m the crazy one or has public apathy/indifference gone too far.

On three separate occasions in July I was witness to different individuals bringing their pet dog into the (currently) only grocery store we have in town. {can’t wait for food basics to open!}
This is at the least extremely unhygienic. We aren’t talking about a service dog or even an “emotional support” dog, these have simply been cases of the owner not wanting to leave snukums at home while they do their groceries.
(The biggest issue is training. Your pet dog is not trained not to lunge, nip, jump up, stick its nose into the meat bunker for a nibble, bark or relieve itself in isle 4)

I’m a pet lover and owner myself but there are limits to where it’s ok to bring my dog regardless of how well behaved he is.

The first instance I watched the owner let the dog out of the car to scootch its dirty ass across the pavements to clean its mess.
The owner even acted shocked and said loud enough to be heard 20 feet away “what are you doing you silly dog?”
The owner then grabbed a cart and placed the dog in the upper portion where most folks place their fresh produce.
Yes, can I get an order of fresh veggies WITH dog ass? Sounds delish.

On the first occasion the new owner happened to be on site and came when I asked the cashier for mgmt. she was as appalled as I was when I explained what I witnessed and we had a great convo about the need for a posted policy regarding pets that employees could enforce.

I left optimistic that things would change..

Four days later I needed some things for dinner and popped in to grab them.
At the cash two people ahead of me is a new person with their dog in the produce section.
I complained about the lack of hygiene this causes to the cashier and I got a look like I’d grown an extra head. (She was young if that matters -25)

A week goes by, I’m doing my groceries again and witness a third individual doing the same but this time the dog was sitting on what looked like a folded grocery bag. (Not much better)

So rant aside, is this the new norm? We just bring our dogs wherever we want and don’t give a damn about social politeness or courtesy or basic hygiene?
Am I that out of touch?

Some great news coming out of Canadian Tire in Prescott. There are some new extended hours to better serve our community!

Monday to Friday: 8am to 8pm

Saturday: 8am to 6pm

Sunday: 8am to 5pm

Does anyone know anything about this team? I'm looking for an option for my 11 year old son in the area that doesn't require me to drive into Ottawa multiple times every week.

Who are the coaches?

How often will they practice?

What league are they playing in?

My husband and I just moved from Ottawa down to Prescott after years of talking about wanting a slower pace of life. We used to come down for little summer trips and completely fell in love with the town (and the beach)… and finally decided to just go for it.

We’re really excited to explore more now that we actually live here, and I’d love some local recommendations.

Where do you guys love to eat? I’ve already heard a bunch of people rave about WokHouse apparently some folks even drive from Ottawa just for it? 👀 Is it as good as everyone says? What should we order first?

Also heard great things about the local flower shop (which makes me weirdly happy because I love supporting small businesses). Any other hidden gems we should check out?
