The drive back to Geneva was a long one, so we stopped at the Lakewood Dog Exercise area in Wauconda, Illinois, which is part of an extensive & extremely dog-friendly forest preserve system. The Dog Exercise area is a fully-fenced, double-gated, 30-acre off-leash dog park area consisting of huge fields & wonderful wooded walking paths. It is exclusively for the use of dogs & their owners.
Walking with Molly
Initially, I kept Snickers on-lead but it soon became evident that he was comfortable in his surroundings and for the next hour, he & Skip & Molly just enjoyed doing what dogs do - rolling in the grass . . .
. . . sniffing butts . . .
. . . and running through the fields.
