1.  More and more establishments are starting to become pet-friendly.  What are you thoughts on this policy?

2.  Have you ever taken your dog to a dog-friendly winery/bar/restaurant or attraction?  If so, what was your favorite place and why?
Well, I don't gots a dog, unless you are countin Finley and she'd probably bite me if I acted like I owned her.  But me and Finn has been to eat at EZ's in Austin and San Antonio - dey let dogs sit on da patio and it are pretty pawsome.  Da best part are da gettin slipped chikken and pizza bones.  And we's been in some stores, speshully when I lived in Cambridge, da peeps would let us come on in.  We went to Lush, which smelled really interesting and to a knittin store.  Ya know, mommas and da yarn.  Yawn.

I let momma sleep in da big bed wif me.  Sometimes Travis too.  I has my spot at da end of da bed.  My momma has delushuns dat I are a stuffie and should be hugged at night, but I likes da foot of da bed.  Unless it are cold or I are feelin bad.  Den I wants to snuggle.
