THE CHICAGO IL REAL ESTATE MARKET, AND OTHER THINGS CHICAGO, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A LITTLE WHITE DOG!
Hey, you dogs! Hope you're enjoying the Fourth of July Weekend.
Please - BE SAFE TONIGHT! I want to make sure you still have four paws tomorrow!
As for me - I just got home - from a road trip - my first, as a young dog. We journeyed nearly 950 miles, in my Little Silver PT Cruiser, visited some close friends and mentors of ours in Minnesota and Iowa, and made a very interesting stop on the way home. We visited a small … (1 comments)

Hello, you AR Dogs! How are things going where you are?
I'm headed out of town this weekend - off to Minnesota, via Iowa, to check in on all my four-pawed and two-pawed friends - I'll be there to lend a paw as they recover from the devastating floods of the last week or so.
I'll keep in touch from the road, though - expect another usually-insightful Lil' Buddy's Blog next Friday morning. Same time, same url!

THE CHICAGO IL REAL ESTATE MARKET, AND OTHER THINGS CHICAGO, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A LITTLE WHITE DOG!
Hey, you dogs - be concerned, be careful - but don't be alarmed! The canine flu has been confirmed here in Chicago, and may be spreading to other dogs in our area.
It was identified a couple of weeks ago. The owner of Buddy (no, not me - another Buddy) - a Yellow Lab, 4 years old, showed typical dog flu symptoms - lethargy, vomiting white foam, coughing - three days after coming home from a dog day care center. He was … (4 comments)

THE CHICAGO IL REAL ESTATE MARKET, AND OTHER THINGS CHICAGO, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A LITTLE WHITE DOG!
Is it morning already? Man, these late-night West Coast Cub Games are really draining this little dog - stayed up last night til almost 1:00AM, watching baseball, and drinking a wee bit of Old Style Beer (don't tell Dean, my Human Dad). Good news, though - again, THE CUBS WON - beating the LA Dodgers, in a close one!
Good news on another sporting front - the City of Chicago is among 4 international finalists for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games! If … (1 comments)

Here I am in my special "Blog Writing" Office - getting ready to work on this week's post!
You'd probably think a Little White Dog like me, with my short little legs and all, would have no interest in bicycles. Mais, non! (Bet you didn't know I spoke French, did you?)
I not only like to ride with my Designated Humans, sidecar-style, as a wingman. I also have my on Buddy Bike - with 6" knobby tires, and a bright Cubbie … (1 comments)

Oops - you caught me counting my money for gas! These days, you know, it takes a lot of cash to fill the tank - even for my lil' dog-mobile! Regular here on the North Side of Chicago busted through the $4.00 per gallon mark a couple of weeks ago. Now, in the city, it's tough to find regular for less than $4.09!
Remember, you Human Boomers, the days before we all had cell phones? How did we survive. For our Team Leader Dean - … (2 comments)

You see me here with Team Leader Dean's Mom, my Grandma Felice Moss. (I'm the one on the right, with the white fur.) I wanted to write a little Mother's Day post for you, since I might not connect with you until after the holiday.

I'm a little depressed this morning! My favorite baseball team, The Chicago Cubs, blew a game in the ninth yesterday, as our closer, Kerry Wood, experienced a relief pitching implosion. They say there's always next year - but, hey, I'm just a little white dog - how many "next years" do I have?
If you think I'm a little blue, you should talk to some of our buyers and sellers here in Chicago. For many buyer and seller clients of Dean's Team Chicago, … (1 comments)

THE CHICAGO IL REAL ESTATE MARKET, AND OTHER THINGS CHICAGO, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A LITTLE WHITE DOG!
In this early-2006 photo, I am but a passenger! But, usually, I am the DRIVER!
However, with gas prices here in Chicago going through the roof (or, "through the WOOF," as we dogs say), it's getting tougher financially to cover my side job - cruisin' for chicks along Clark Street near Wrigley Field here on the North Side.
With the exception of certain cities in California, Chicago gas prices are among the highest in the nation. Across the country, the average price of a … (1 comments)

It's not every day you find a 120-pound Mountain Lion, or Cougar, prancing the streets of a major city. In Chicago, as a matter of fact, there has never been such a sighting, since the city was founded over 175 years ago!
But last Tuesday, on the 3400 Block of North Hoyne Avenue, clear as day, there one was! For about an hour or so, it was ruling its kingdom along Hoyne and Seeley Avenues, ion the Roscoe Village Neighborhood of Chicago. And, … (4 comments)

Was that YOU who called? Sorry, I must have just missed you!
The Chicago Suburb of Berwyn IL has had a history of crazy politics! This Bungalow Community about 7 miles straight west of Downtown Chicago and The Loop has long been a reputed hotbed for less-than-straightforward local pols.
Although the town has cleaned up their act immeasurably over the last few years, this one confounds even me - a Lil' White Dog in the know. You may first get a chuckle out of … (1 comments)

I'm just a dog on the street! You know, a four-pawed observer of Chicago's Political Scene. But, often, the way things happen here, it's hard to imagine they happen like this anywhere else!
Several years ago, our Mayor Richard Daleywanted to change our Lakefront Executive Airport, Meigs Field. He made his point by dispatching bulldozers in the middle of the night to tear apart the runways, claiming the airport posed a security threat. Now, the area contains a park and a summertime music … (1 comments)

Ok, you warm-weather dogs! You Floridians. You Californians. You Texans, or Carolinans. You can gloat now, if you'd like!
YES, IT DOES SNOW HERE IN CHICAGO! Often, quite a lot. Despite what you've heard, however, we've barely scratched the Top 20 snowiest winters with this season's 50.9 inches of accumulated snowfall. Even tonight's predicted 1-3", more near the Wisconsin State Line, will drop us in the 17th ranking or so. And this will be the 35th snowfall of the season here - since … (2 comments)
