Guide Me Home to Chatham, NJ

Turpin has just listed a wonderful property located in the premier Old Short Hills section within the Deerfield grammar school district. Short Hills is a lovely community with a stellar reputation located on the Midtown Direct train line to NYC. Access to Route 24 and major highways provide a convenient commute to the Hoboken path terminal and ferry lines to NYC as well as Newark International Airport.

Within close proximity to this listing is a wonderful public historic garden called Greenwood Gardens. Presently, they have a restoration project going on which is in line with the main goal of the gardens to promote conservation and preservation of historic homes and gardens. They provide public tours of this project as well as the gardens. This interesting and beautiful public garden is one of the many fun things that the Millburn/Short Hills area has to offer. In addition to the quaint downtown area featuring many restaurants, a park, and a movie theater, is the unique Papermill Playhouse. Also nearby is the well-known Short Hills Mall with the Short Hills Hilton across the street.

As the weather continues to show all the talisman of spring, I started thinking about the soon to come dog days of summer. This got me thinking about my many friends and family members who have dogs as pets. Recently, a potential client looking in the towns of Chatham, Madison and Summit asked me if there were any dog parks nearby. There are several dog parks in nearby communities. To view them, visit Doggeek.com.

Along these canine thoughts, I read with interest two articles on dog park etiquette by Allison Deeb, President and Founder of MARDOG, Inc. Her discussion centered on the basic rules that dog park users should consider before taking their dogs to the park. Check out her site for an amusing and instructional discussion.
 

Last but not least is the question of where to board your dog when he/she can’t join in the family fun. The following are just a few of the many choices in the area:

Morris Animal Inn

Elizabeth Ann Kennels

K9 Resorts

Until next time,
