Hi Laurie,
That's a funny name for your parents to have named a cute little boy who loves plaid shirts and his mommy very much. Anyway I live in the far northern suburbs and, just to stay on topic, when that pup is about a year old, you will have to visit Lake County's wonderful dog parks in Lake Forest, Wauconda, Gurnee and Gus' favorite, in Libertyville. Go you Fighting Illiini.
