This week we have the good fortune to be talking dogs with Jason Narducy. The singer, songwriter, bassist, guitarist and author who’s played with Bob Mould, Superchunk, Sunny Day Real Estate and the attention grabbing tours covering classic R.E.M. albums with actor Michael Shannon. Jason introduces us to his 6 year old brindled American Staffordshire Terrier Juniper who came into his family a year after losing their Black Lab Zoey. Jason recently took Juniper on tour so we dig into what that experience was like, the routine they developed that benefitted them both and much, much more. Fun talk from a great storyteller.

Jason gave a unique and thoughtful shout out to Prairie Wolf and Pooch Park. Prairie Wolf is open daily from 6:30am to sunset and is one of five designated off-leash dog areas within the Lake County Forest Preserves. For more info visit lcfpd.org

Pooch Park is open daily from 5am to 10pm and is Skokie’s only off-leash dog park providing a unique outdoor green space for dogs with more than 2.7 acres of open area. For more info go to skokieparks.org/pooch-park
