Happy Safety Sunday, Creswell! Paisley would like to remind everyone to follow the speed limit while driving. Cars driving at high speeds are a danger to not just themselves but to pedestrians, animals, bicyclists, and those in wheelchairs.

Safety Sundays With Paisley. I’ve been noticing all these speedy cars zooming by in Creswell, and it makes my tail stop wagging for a second! It’s such a bustling place, but those fast-moving vehicles can be super dangerous, especially for us pups and our friends. A little one like me could easily get hurt if someone isn’t paying attention. I just want everyone to drive safely so we can all enjoy our walks and playtime without a worry! Let’s keep Creswell a happy and safe place for everyone—two-legged and four-legged alike!
