Roger Caras said "Dogs are not our whole life but they make our lives whole." He was wrong. When you live with four, obedience train two, agility train two and co-own a dog boutique:(GollyGear); dogs are your life. And life is good.

It's the most wonderful place
I truly feel sorry for anybody who's never been to Wrigley Field. I know how hapless the Cubs are. I've been a fan for decades now. But if you don't have a good time at Wrigley - you have no appreciation for the finer things in life. It's the only place in the world that Old Style Beer tastes wonderful. And really awful nachos are delicious. There's no better place for people-watching. And if you just happen to love baseball - you'll think it's heaven on earth. Can you tell we had a great time at the game yesterday? It doesn't hurt that the Cubs won.

I grew up in Indiana and my family spent some fantastic weekends in Chicago. Wrigley Field was always tops on our list.
Not a big baseball fan but our Nana at 104 is still one of the Blue Jays most ardent fans! Her birthday is this coming Sunday and they are going to wish her a happy birthday at the game. I wish I could take her to be there in person but she would find it too tiring I think.
Hope and Fran are sisters and owners of GollyGear - a shop specializing in fun, affordable, and practical products especially for small dogs.
We believe that dogs are wonderful companions and their presence enriches our lives. We also know how difficult it can be to find appropriate "gear" for our small dogs, which is why we founded Golly Gear. We make it a point to discover the best products for small dogs and share them with other, devoted dog lovers.
Fran has two dogs: Tango, a 5-year-old Brussels Griffon who got off to a bit of a rough start, but is rapidly becoming a wonderful companion and agility dog, with his Masters Standard and Novice Jumpers titles, and Booker, 2-year-old Boston Terrier just starting his adventure. Hope has Teddy a 4-year-old fawn Frenchie with attitude and Open Standard and Jumpers titles; and Torque, a brand-new Frenchie baby.
Golly Gear is named for Fran's Brussels Griffon, Golly - who was a discriminating judge of all things dog throughout her life.

Jan -
I'm glad you love Wrigley, too! We try to get to at least one game every season. Such fun!
Kahshe(what is your name?)-
A very, very happy birthday to Nana!!! I hope her Jays triumph on her day.

Not even Wrigley can make that beer taste good. That's why they sell Budweiser, too. ;-)
Hey, it's time for my old joke.
Do you know what the difference between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs is?
The Cardinals have won a World Series in their new ballpark!
(Busch stadium, new in 2006, Cards won then. Wrigley was new after 2008....)
;-p
Oops! That's *1908* not *2008*!
