Our furkid fell in love with with al fresco dining the very first time we took her to a pet-friendly cafe. Great food AND lots of besotted humans to chat up and fuss over her - what could beat that, right?
After that, we started "collecting" dining destinations for her. One of her favourites was a neighbourhood sushi bar that had a cosy terrace and owners who loved dogs.
She enjoyed it so much that we sometimes took her there for her sushi fix several times a week. There were days she would actually tug us there at lunchtime, almost racing as we got nearer.
"Hurry, Mommie! They're gonna run out of my ikayaki and mekajiki if we don't get there soon!"
We really wish there were more pet-friendly eateries, but we do understand why many places are reluctant to allow it.
Our furkid was a gentle little soul who was super friendly and super greedy, so she just wanted to eat and chat and watch everything going on around her.
She also knew she had to mind her manners, so she never caused any problems - well, except that a lot of people stopped just to play with her and never ordered anything 😝!
Bless your heart Twyla. I hope you enjoyed your treat. You look fabulous in your outfit. My cocker spaniel Benji loves going into dog friendly places but...he can get a bit excited, so we have a good attachment system on his lead that secures him safely to a table leg. Then he sits nicely waiting for his very favourite red fish cookie treats which I break up for him. People stop and fuss him which he LOVES.
I have no problem with dogs being in coffee bars etc. But I AM biased 😉

Yes Twyla must stay on her harness and lead at all times in a cafe. Mainly as I worry if she would jump up to say hello!
I'm glad Benji gets to go too!
Lovely story. She sounds adorable.
