I wish I could take Saber to a meet up but seeing as how he has no white blood cells to fight off infection, I have to be super careful with taking him anywhere that he could pick up something and get sick Sad

Thanks for the well wishes but he's lived with this issue for the last 2 1/2 years so I've already resigned myself to the fact this is how it's going to be for the rest of his life.

We are in Shorewood (Joliet/Plainfield) starting today through Monday morning. Anyone want to meet up? I'm definitely going to take the Huskies to Hammel Woods at least once or twice this weekend, I feel bad they've been cooped up in the car for 2 days.

Are you available today? I'm playing hooky and have the whole day to myself. I can probably only stay an hour or so

Maverick Join date : 2011-07-01 Location : Denver, CO

Possibly, I have an appointment with my mom's hairdresser at 1:00, after that maybe. Where we're you thinking?

I can drive out to where you are since you've already been in a car all day. Does Hammel Woods have a fenced in area?

Maverick Join date : 2011-07-01 Location : Denver, CO

Yeah, it's a really nice park. The only catch is you need a pass And I'm still trying to get some info from my dad on that. If nothing else, we could probably meet up at my parents house. They have a nice fenced yard. Let me check with them and get back to you Smile

It's probably easier to just come to the house since I guess you have to go out to the forest preserve office for a day pass, and the office is way out in the sticks. That work fir you? They live about 5 minutes from the park, just off 80 and 55. I can PM you their address. Dad already gave his blessing.

Boy do I know that area! There are about ten grain places that load distillers mash into containers for export, plus Exon Mobile, and not to forget the racetrack!

We are also in the Chicago area...in Northwest Indiana Smile

I actually almost went to the Adopt-a-Husky event back then, as I adopted Kodiak from there. It's a great organization!
