During the summer we try to find things that are fun for the dogs as well us fun for us. And sometimes we find an equal balance. One of our favorite events is a dog-walk fundraiser that benefits the Red Door Animal Shelter--where our friend Pip is an alumni. The pooches love going on a walk with a couple hundred of their closest friends, while we love exploring new-to-us Indian Boundary Park in the West Rogers Park neighborhood.
We were able to bring Bella and we were joined by our friend Winnie Cooper who is similar age and markings as Bella--people even thought they were twins!
We loved meeting other dogs (look how handsome our new friend Bruno is in the photo below) and walking through the neighborhood filled with historic Chicago bungalows and ornate gardens.
It's always so interesting to me to find these places I never knew about in the city.
Thanks again to Alexis for escorting Bella on her debut walk, and for Winnie Cooper and Gregg for joining the crew!

When I was born, my family lived in an apartment across the street from Indian Boundary, but I'd forgotten all about it. thanks for the reminder!

That is such a wonderful picture of our Bruno! It captures his personality perfectly (upside down and waiting for belly rubs). May we repost the picture of him (with credit, of course)?
Love these events sponsored for a great cause. Looks fun getting all that attention

Bantrobel--Yes, of course. He was so adorable, and we loved meeting all of you. If you want to send us your email (through the 'contact us' on the sidebar) we could send you the originals.
Hey! We made it to the walk, but I guess we missed you guys. Thanks for letting us know about it!
Jess--Oh, we're so sorry to have missed you. When we came with the 3 of them, we just kind of stayed on the periphery. We need to find a way to really meet up!
I couldn't think of a better way to spend a day! Glad you had fun!
What a great walk, we don't get to walk much in the new city as it is now over 100 each day!

Thanks so much for coming to the walk! It's such a great park and neighborhood! I wish we could have gotten a picture of all of the dogs together - maybe next year!

I am green with envy that you got to go! We really wanted to, but things got in the way on Saturday. The pups all look so stylish!
What a cool walk! And for a great cause too! Bet the chickens and the ducks in the pond were so much fun for Ms. M and Mr. B to experience! Terrific! :D
Waggin at ya,
