What is this all about?

It's simple- I love my dog. I spoil my dog. I treat my dog as I would treat my own child. Which leads me to shops and services for my dog. The problem is, there is a lot of word of mouth when it comes to pet services here in Chicago-land. If I am having this much trouble finding the right dog walker, boarding hotel, groomer, cute shops, etc. then how hard must it be for someone that just moved to Chicago? I decided almost a year ago that I should start writing about all the places and things that Toby and I try, but I am just now getting to it. I plan to highlight the best services, products, and people for dogs in Chicago. When it's relevant, I'll also tell you about some national stores or products that are the best!
