Where Am I?

October 13, 2011

I am at my town’s Harbor, just across from the Dog Beach.
Before I got here, I went to that white building behind me.
Do you see it?
I went to the Vet and I was told that I’ve gained a lot of weight.
So it means longer walks. 
For the past 11 days, we had sunny warm Fall weather.
I had delightful walks to the park.
Mom and I diverted from our walking route and decided to take some photos on the most popular attraction in my town.
We are 3 miles from this attraction.
Yes, it’s white and huge.
It is circular in shape, has 9 sides.
The surroundings and grounds are very well manicured and maintained.
Here I am on the entrance door.
Check out the stairs and the railings.
How about the intricate design.
Since this is circular in shape, there are many sides.
Here I am on one side.
You get a closer look of the detailed design.

There was a fountain across and mom was about to take a photo of me …
someone tapped her shoulder and said “Sorry, no dogs allowed.” Oooops!!! 
We lived in this town for many many years and never knew that dogs were not allowed. Well, we usually just walk around the perimeter (sidewalk) and always intimidated to go inside since we knew it is a place of spiritual service. Golden Apology, I was a good dog … just taking photos. But one last photo …
I am at the Bahai House of Worship, a temple.
It is located just N of Chicago, between the shores of Lake Michigan.
It was constructed in 1953. This temple is one of the 7 in the world and the only one in North America. This in particular is the largest and the oldest surviving Bahai Temple.

Make sure if you plan to visit Chicago, find some time and visit the North Shore. The Bahai House is great photo opp. You will not miss it especially if you take Sheridan Road.
I hope you enjoyed another edition of 
Sugar’s Golden Tours: Chicago’s North Shore.
Lots of Golden Woofs

    Well, any place that doesn't allow you isn't worth visiting. πŸ™‚

    That sure is a lot of stairs. Running up and down those stairs a few times would really take off the extra weight!

  14. Erika and Blair,xoxo says

    October 13, 2011 at 1:59 PM

    Looks like a fun place to go exploring! Mom wants to know how much you weigh cause you look like a tall girl quite like our Koda who has also been told to lose some weight at least 5 because he weighs a whopping 85 pounds which Mom says is alot to move around when he needs to be lifted someplace like into the tub!

  15. Roscoe Harville says

    October 13, 2011 at 2:24 PM

    No dogs!!!!!! The nerve.
    PS. You look perfect Sugar!

    Well, I think you were a very good tour director even if you weren't allowed in. Lots of walks are fun, I think, and you can expand your tour business! Good idea, Sugar!!

  18. Kay L. Davies says

    October 13, 2011 at 3:16 PM

    You're a beautiful tour guide, Sugar, and instead of kicking you out, they should pay for you to be there. It's also a beautiful building! It was very interesting to see the pictures of it, before they chased you away.

    What do you mean no dogs. That's just not right Sugar. You're such a good girl.

    What a fun outing and I'd love to visit here too. With you and your mom of course. I would need a guide and you would be the logical choice.

    Have a terrific day Sugar. My best to your mom. πŸ™‚

    We really enjoyed your tour Sugar! You are so well behaved, it just doesn't seem right that they would not allow you to visit!

  26. Frankie Furter says

    October 13, 2011 at 7:53 PM

    I was KINDA close with my guess. That is NOT nice that they don't allow US there.

    HEY… I saw your comment to Sarge about his Sugar's Paw House TAG.. You are SOOOOOO right.. it looks Grrrreat on his new collar…

    IN FACT IT JUST PLAIN LOOKS GRRRREAT AND HE WEARS IT EVERY DAY… It is STILL just as nice and bright as the day he received it!!! A VERY VERY much HIGH Quality item… I think all of your readers should have ONE or even 87 of them. They look sooooo spiffy and stay so perfect. GRRRRREAT Christmas or Birfday pressies !!!

    Thanks for the scoop on that beautiful building. Too bad you couldn't get that fountain photo.

    We had a gorgeous day here and went for a really long walk. Mom said we all need the exercise too.

    Sugar that was a wonderful tour! How dare they say "no dogs allowed!!"

    Don't feel bad, my brother & I have gained weight too!

    Sugar, you are a very good tour guide.

  34. Soggibottom says

    October 13, 2011 at 11:29 PM

    Hum… too many cookies … Who can resist you with a smile like that ?
    BUT I know here they talk about a dog who was never over weight.. because she was never over fed. WALKIES ARE GOOD, but when your older, too many walkies or too far, isn't good either.. be kind to yourself Sugar and take the easy way out.. Look away at cookies. Get them to put a sign around your neck. DO NOT FEED ! It's for the best.. if you really need a sharp intake of goodness, stash, STASH, STASH !
    I never said that !

    Lots of luvs.. your loving young friend Freya Rose Blossom πŸ™‚ X

    Dear Sugar, Yer Mum thinks you are fat! Being the gentlemandog that I yam, I've decided to help you with your weight loss program. You can send me all of your Punkin Cookies to insure you don't get fat-tter and so your Mum will continue to pet you and spoil you. It's the least I can do.

    Love, Easton (the Big Red One)

    October 14, 2011 at 3:11 AM

    Those are lovely photos Sugar! It's silly they don't allow dogs since we think you'd be great publicity to get people to go there!
