There are a few places Choppy has been many times. Chicago is definitely one of those places, as it is home to my brother, sister-in-law and their family. For Choppy, the only member of that family who matters is Izzy, their dog and Choppy’s best friend.

Usually, Choppy’s Chicago trips focus on spending time with Izzy and her attempts to learn how to deal with spending time somewhere without a backyard she can use at her leisure (read: finding secret places to poop at Izzy’s house).

But sometimes, Choppy does get out to see the sights.

My friend's old apartment near downtown (and many stories in the air). Choppy seemed to enjoy the view. Fun fact: This is the first place where Choppy rode an elevator (it was definitely not the last place, though).

So, we weren't supposed to be here. Oops. Even worse? We didn't even get a good picture (see if you can find us - it's like Where's Waldo. Except with a dog. And not a guy dressed up in a strange red and white striped getup).

If Choppy didn't have to avoid every sidewalk grate, you might think she belonged in the city. On a related note, apologies to everyone who has tripped over Choppy as she zig zags across busy city sidewalks.
