On my last day this past Friday, I learned that people, especially old colleagues, can be quite nice. It’s no secret that I have a slight obsession with all things canine and so my parting gift was not for me, but for Chick. In the form of this sweet urban pack. So when the days are warmer and the sun shines longer, sweet Chick will be responsible for carrying her own treats and bags. Now that’s a gift.
On Sunday nights when you’re disappointed that the corned beef sandwich special for $4 from the local place down the street has unexpectedly sold out and you’re forced to order a mini burger from the kid’s menu on the night of St. Patrick’s Day, you take it out on the pooch. By making silly poses of course. And then she gives you the evil death stare and you decide to just hold onto the pictures for when Monday morning rolls around and you need a good giggle.
When the month of March just drags on with its unfortunate rain and its rude Daylight Savings trick I want to make like a pup and just curl up on the couch. Is it summer yet? This is Chick’s new favorite spot.

This week will be my last week at my current job. Later this month I’ll be starting a new opportunity at a different company. While it’s bittersweet to leave some great people, I’m excited to be headed toward a brand new experience. So a few days ago I said farewell to a special little pup friend. This big guy is not even two years old and he already weighs 130 lbs. Crazy! But he sure is sweet.
Remember when I complained about all the snow earlier this week? Well, Mother Nature decided to dump some more on us the next day. Fortunately, temperatures are expected to rise this weekend, so here’s hoping that with Spring only a week and a half away, Chicago has turned the corner on warmer weather. That means no more navigating my way around sidewalks half filled with whimper-inducing salt on a pup’s paw.
I'm a crazy dog lover living in Chicago. Here I share my thoughts and adventures with the ones who matter most.
