The best dog park ever

Through one of my doggie playgroups I found out about this amazing dog park in the north suburbs of Chicago. It's actually a huge forest preserve where they've designated a big portion of it to the dogs. There are trails, a big pond, prairie grass, open fields... and it's all fenced in! It was an absolutely fabulous place to spend our first nice day in a long time this Saturday. Irie loved being able to run for miles, jump into the pond, and wrangle her way through the underbrush. She was one pooped (and muddy) puppy by the end of the day, as you can see.
