Northern Illinois Doodle romp

This is your reminder for the doodle romp this Sunday--September 27 at 10 a.m. at the Lakewood Dog Park in Wauconda, on Fairfield Road just north of 176. Hope to see lots of you there! Cross your fingers for good weather as there is a forecast of rain; if the weather is bad, we will try for the following Sunday, October 4. I'll send out an e-mail announcement early Sunday morning if there is a cancellation.

Don't forget--all doodles, friends of doodles, and potential doodle owners are always welcome! Our list keeps growing, and it's thanks to you spreading the word! As always, I'm including the directions to the romp at the bottom of this e-mail as several of you have been added in since the last e-mail contact.

If you have any questions—or any e-mail addresses to be added to the list, please e-mail us (Joan, Steve, and Charli) at charli594@comcast.net. If you get to the park after the first half hour and you don’t see any doodles near the entrance, we have probably moved to another part of the park—usually a large open area in the northeast section of the park where it is less crowded. There are often a few who don't take the walk, so they can point you in the right direction. The Wauconda Dog Park is fully fenced and very big!

Here is Lake County Forest Preserve's web site, which has a detailed map of the park and more information. http://www.lcfpd.org/preserves/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.view&object_id=201&type=P

The park does charge, but there is a convenient self serve kiosk in the parking lot to buy daily permits for the park. Daily permits for Lake County residents-$5 per dog. Out of county residents are $10 per dog. Exact cash or check is required, and you will receive a permit to put in your car's visor. Daily or annual permits are also available online here:
