Eagle Nest Blog

Have you seen this dog? Somebody in our neighborhood did -- and thanks to your handy Eagle Nest blog the lost pet has returned home to its owners. Last week, Eagle Nest resident (and former longtime Secretary) Terry Siegel sent a message thanking the board for posting an item about Maggie, her 25-pound Boston Terrier who apparently got out recently and was AWOL: "Hi ... Guess what?  The dog has been found! A neighbor saw the post on the blog site and knew a neighbor in Copperfield who had found a dog last week.  It was Maggie!  Thanks so much for posting!" Thanks to Eagle Nest blog postings, this is the second lost pet (see July 11 posting) that has found a home in our neighborhood. Please keep that in mind the next time you see a lost animal or discover yours is missing. The Eagle Nest blog stands ready to assist!

The annual Eagle Nest neighborhood Pool Party is set for Sunday, Aug. 5, from noon - 4 p.m. Because Summer Olympic Games will be in full swing, our theme will be, you guessed it ... the Olympics! Our wonderful lifeguard staff will have games for all the kids, and the adults will enjoy food, drink, and fellowship in the Clubhouse. Admittance is free. The board of the Eagle Nest Property Owners Association will provide FREE fried chicken (a first for the pool party) and beverages (lemonade and bottled waster for the kids; beer for those 21 and older.) We are asking every family attending to pitch-in a side dish of some kind. Not a swimmer? Come join the fun anyway, meet fellow residents from all corners of the neighborhood and win a prize just for attending. There will be a surprise activity from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. for special prizes, too. Interested in helping? Call ENPOA director Alice Miley at 842-7901. We would appreciate some help. Mark August 5th on your calendar and ...

Thanks to the Wollen family on Goldfinch Circle, this recently abandoned female calico kitten found in Eagle Nest now has a new home.   According to former ENPOA President Harry Riebe, who found the 9-month-old animal a few weeks ago, the Wollens are thrilled with their new family member after having recently lost their pet dog. Harry said he and his wife found the cat a few weeks ago near their home and had it examined by a vet and vaccinated. The animal was in perfect health and free of parasites and fleas, the vet said. Even better, the cat is box trained, extremely friendly and -- believe it or not -- responded to the word "no." If you find a lost or abandoned animal, please send an email to blog editor Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net to get something posted on this neighborhood site.

The board of Eagle Nest Property Owners Association would like to remind homeowners that all home improvements or construction projects (i.e. decks, fences, mini-barns, room additions, etc.) must receive written approval from the Rules and Restrictions Committee BEFORE work begins. All homeowners received copies of ENPOA's Declarations of Restrictions upon purchase of their property. Your mortgage company or deed holder should have copies. Hard copies are available from the ENPOA office, too. To underscore the board's role and right to administer such matters, following is a passage from ENPOA's Declarations of Restrictions, approved and filed Sept. 21, 1973, and amended in part Dec. 15, 1993.
