How cute are these places??! I love Pet N Pooch, it’s somewhere I’d love to take my dog and also book him in for a grooming!
I know, they’re so adorable!
I love that more and more places are dog friendly! As someone who doesn’t have a dog, I get so excited to see other people’s dogs at restaurants!
Same!
Great post! I love pet friendly patios. They are so fun. I never bring my dog with me anywhere (because she has social anxiety), but I love seeing other dogs out and about.
I love seeing all the cute pups out and about!
