Hello ladies,

 My husband and I just got a puppy and we have barely spent any time together this week however, labor day weekend is coming up and we would like to relax a bit and have some fun.

Can you suggest places in Chicago where we can go outdoors or places that allow pets? we have to take her with us, we don't want to keep her in the house for so long, she stays in a crate right now..

 TIA

What area of the city are you in? There are a bunch of outdoor restaurants that allow dogs and there is a dog park on Lawrence & LSD, and 2 dog beaches (Montrose & Foster)

So I don't know how outdoorsy you are, but how about camping/hiking? Starved Rock State Park isn't that far away (in Utica, an hour and a half-ish depending on where you are) and it's absolutely beautiful. Pets are allowed on the trails and the campgrounds, so even if you just go to hike around for the day, it might be nice

Don't know what area you are in, but in the Bucktown/Logan Sqaure area we have eaten out with our dog at The Boundary (division st), Dunley's on the Square, and Longman and Eagle (Logan Square).  Call ahead, because in the city, the restaurant needs a permit to allow dogs so not all outdoor seating areas allow dogs.
