Chicago travel

Off Topic
  • So, I swear, I have never traveled as much as this year. Anyway, we are off to Des Plains Il. for the weekend for a weeding in Chicago. One of our favorite cities–in the summer! Anyway, If any locals would like to meet up or allow us to see your spectacular pups we would love to come! We are driving from Columbus on Friday after my son gets out of school. So we will be leaving at 3ish. It will take us about 6 hours to get there and we MUST stop at IHOP on the way since we do not have one here. The wedding is on Saturday and in the morning we may try and go to the Childrens museum. I heard it is really nice.
    My mom is babysitting the furkids which I am a little nervous about but they will be fine.

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!

    @Ashmoore92 It got put on the "back burner" ... I have some, but not enough for a book. I'll circle back around to it.

    Thanks for the suggestion of renting an RV. I'll have to see if that would satisfy states I might travel through.
