Is that a suburb of Chicago? That's a bit far for us Southern Illinois/Missouri people. There are a bunch of Chicago meet-ups (which Brad is a part of so I'm sure the suggestion will be noted) however we were wanting to meet more in the middle or southern part of the state. I wish we had as many dog parks down here.

I live in Downtown Chicago during the week, Western Suburbs during weekends when I visit my parents.
1 10 year old boxer girl who is usually in the Western Suburbs but sometimes sneaks out for an adventure in the big city with me. :)

We have some friends that we visit up in Lockport and many times we go camping at Kankakee River State Park. We have one boxer named General and will be 2 yrs old in Feb. Maybe we can meet up sometime.

Wonderful Bourbonnais vet

I am originally from south side of Chicago but have migrated to northwest Indiana. I cannot help myself but to let the people know that are near the Kankakee area of an absolutely wonderful vet that is in Bourbonnais that I go to -- yes, I travel from Indiana to Bourbonnais to see her! She's all natural/holistic. I hope I'm not going to be in trouble. I'm not trying to advertise but just to help other owners because I know that traditional veterinary medicine is not always the best in my opinion. I guess if you guys are interested, just send me a mssg and I will send you a PM with info.

Where are these meetup places at, BTW?

I am in Bradley, IL.... I use to go to Bradley Animal Hospital but they were rude one night to my wife because they had to rewrap my male boxers leg... So the next day I went to CountyWest Vet in Kankakee (which is much cleaner, new, and nicer) and they rewrapped his leg for free and have been going there for about 5months now.

Also most of the meetups are done in Chicago, there is a Chicago Boxer Meetup group on meetup.com. I dont go to those anymore due to, too many owners that cant control their own dogs that are attacking your own dog and see that you are trying to seperate them.... (long story....which happened too many times).

Although I haven't lived there in over 15 years, I grew up in Granite City (10 minutes from STL) and I still have family and friends all over that area and I visit often. My daughter lives in Edwardsville and is the proud, new Mom to one of our female babies.
