Black Friday Shopping?!

Despite our photos and videos showing us and the pooches in crowds, Mr. B, A and I are very much opposed to crowds. On the other hand, Miss M loves crowds and will even drag her poor family into any and all groups of people. This past weekend we found a good balance and went on a family walk via the Bloomingdale Trail

and got a little post-Thanksgiving shopping in. We love shopping near our neighborhood because there are so many stores that are dog-friendly and even dog-loving. 

After a long day of shopping, posing for photographs, hanging out in the park, and meeting friends. We were all excited to head back home to enjoy the last several hours of our Thanksgiving break. 

Daily Walk: A Thanksgiving Walk

After a great Thanksgiving dinner with our family, we took advantage of the great post-Thanksgiving weather and went on a couple family Thanksgiving walks on the Bloomingdale Trail. In the summer, there were times when the trail was too hot for the pooches and they would struggle a bit on their family walks.

Now that the weather is cooler, Miss M and Mr. B were excited to take on the trail. On one walk they even spotted their good friend and foster extraordinaire Kathy, with Max and newly adopted Bill. Bill, Max, Mr. B and Miss M even formed a jam band to entertain fellow Bloomingdale Trailers.

On another walk they met friends from Safe Humane Chicago and Brew City Bully Club and A and I  finally had a chance to try the Nutella S'mores donut from Glazed and Infused.

Miss M took in some local street art at Violet Hour and Mr. B posed for some candid street-style photos. We even had a chance to do some impromptu Black Friday shopping on Sunday.
