Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

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.

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?

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!
