Upper Michigan isn't very dog friendly at all... We don't even have a pet smart in my town, closest one is an hour away! I would love if we had a place like this to bring our fury kids!
We take Ollie everywhere with us. He goes to breakfast every Sat and Sun morning to Bagels and Brew. We sit on the patio and there are always LOTS of dogs out there. He's been to the apple store twice, home depot, Chase bank, Irvine Spectrum (outdoor shopping mall), and of course PetSmart everytime we go. I like to get him out and socialized while he's young so that he is used to seeing other people and animals and he's not afraid. We even go to dinner at a restaurant called Lazy Dog and sit on the Patio with bunches of other dogs. They have chicken bowls you can order for the dogs and they will bring out water in bowls for them too. This area of California is very dog friendly. We take him all over the place. I have a dog seat belt for him too, otherwise he will only ride in my lap and since I have a new 2013 370Z I don't want him in my lap. Not safe. Great photo of Winston on his lunch date! I love the name Winston too! Very cute!
