Growing up in a very small rural town about thirty miles west of Aurora, I have always been surrounded by dogs. Whether it was my yellow Lab, Clarence, who would join my sister and me on our daily adventures around the farm, or Baxter, our black Lab, who seemed very content chasing cars as they drove by, dogs have always been a big part of our family. Now, having recently moved to Chicago, I am very excited to join Windy City Paws and continue having dogs be a big part of my life, while enjoying the adventures of the city!
