Five places to treat your dog while driving around Lots of people already know about the Puppuccino at Starbucks, and it’s safe to say that many dogs have come to expect their own cup of goodness when the car detours through the Starbucks drive-thru. A Puppuccino is simply an espresso cup filled with whipped cream. While whipped cream shouldn’t be a regular part of your dog’s diet, it’s fine as a “sometimes” treat.
Dear Tabby, When the weather gets unbearable during the summer, we like to take our whole family for a drive with the dog and sometimes stop for a treat while we’re out. We were curious to know if there are any places that also offer treats for dogs so that our pooch doesn’t have to be left out! Any ideas? Sunday Driving in Woodland Heights
lar and will fuel your dog for an afternoon of cruising with the windows down and ears flopping. Dairy Queen If you’ve got your heart set on a Blizzard from DQ, be sure to order your dog a Pup Cup, too. A Pup Cup at DQ is a small cup of vanilla soft serve ice cream that often has a small dog biscuit on top!
Chick-fil-A Obviously a spin through the CFA drive-thru isn’t an option if you’re on a Sunday drive, but any other day of the week, if you tell the drive-thru folks at Chick-fil-A that you have a dog with you, they will often offer up a dog treat at the window. This treat is usually a dog biscuit and I’m sure that your dog will exclaim, “My pleasure!” when the CFA employees compliment him on his good manners.
Dear Sunday Driving, I know what you mean about the magic of a car ride with the AC blasting when the weather is hot. Add to that the allure of a treat and everyone can get on board with a little cruise--even your pets! There are several chain restaurants with area locations that offer treats for dogs and help to make your family cruises that much more enjoyable for everyone. Here’s a short list of places to check out:
Sonic When you place your order at Sonic, be sure to tell them that you have a dog with you. When your server brings your food out, you’ll likely find a whipped cream dessert or a small scoop of ice cream just for your dog!

Oak Forest residents are invited to a free, familyfriendly event to celebrate the neighborhood’s 75th anniversary. The anniversary celebration will be held from 2-5 p.m. Sunday at Candlelight Park and Community Center, 1520 Candlelight Ln. Walking and bike-riding is encouraged, partly because
parking is limited. The event will include a 3D, walkable timeline that illustrates Oak Forest over the years, along with memorable moments, oft-visited places and neighborhood traditions. Also planned are live music, yard games, frozen treats and a parade around the park. There will be vendor tables as well, and a limited number of 75th anniversary T-shirts will be available.
