Fredan - how far away is Benicia from Sacramento? Isn't it about an hour or so? Would you rather do something there in Benicia, or drive to Sacramento - or either way?
AntJan - you mentioned Citrus Heights. Do you live in the Sacramento area then? If so, what dog parks do you go to? I live in the Natomas area - close to Arco Arena (and am a huge Kings fan!). There is a small dog park close to our house, but there's a much bigger one about 15 minutes from here. I think it's in Citrus Heights or Carmichael.
If we planned something in Sacramento, I know a couple other boxer owners that I could tell.
