Stillwater Yappy Hour

Last Wednesday I had the opportunity to chill at a pirate bar with 20+ dogs and their fabulous human companions. Seriously. It doesn’t get much more fun than that folks.

Smalley’s Caribbean Barbeque is a dog-friendly restaurant in the Brick Alley Building in historic downtown Stillwater. That’s right, you can enjoy delicious Caribbean fare with your favorite pooch on Smalley’s gorgeous front patio or in the relaxing environment of their back deck where we hung out last week for a “Yappy Hour” fundraiser for Friends of Stillwater Dog Park.

A handful of photos from the event can be seen below, and additional images from the evening are available for viewing and purchase here through June 30th.

Looking for more dog-friendly patios in the Twin Cities area? Check out this great list compiled by my favorite Twin Cities dog-lovers resource, Sidewalk Dog, or play around on their interactive Dog Park and Dog-friendly Dining map sponsored by Stunt Puppy.

yappy hour…at a pirate bar!

Join me tomorrow at Smalley’s Caribbean BBQ for a Yappy Hour benefiting Friends of Stillwater Dog Park. A $10 ticket at the door will get you a free drink, appetizers, and door prize drawings. The event is dog friendly, so bring your pup and enjoy Minnesota’s beautiful patio season together! For more information on this event, please visit the Friends of Stillwater Dog Park’s event page.

And for your viewing pleasure, a completely unrelated, but gorgeous, photo of my new pal Killian from a recent session.

Please note: All pirate gear is completely optional at tomorrow’s event, but definitely photo opp worthy.:)

at the dog park | life in pictures

Last Saturday, we took advantage of the absolutely amazing weather by taking a family trip to the Battle Creek dog park in Maplewood.  Let’s just say that we weren’t the only ones to come up with that plan for the afternoon.  There were so many people and dogs at the park, and Phaneuf made a point to greet every single one of them.

Admittedly, I’ve gone completely overboard with the amount of images in this post, but hopefully you’re here to see photos, so you won’t hold it against me.

Phaneuf LOVES to play with puppies.

Nothing warms my heart more than when a little kid wants to play with Phaneuf.  Inevitably she always tests their level of comfort with her by giving them a big slobbery tongue to the face.

Seriously, did you think I could show dog park photos without some butt-sniffing??

Happy weekend!

thursday thanks: warm autumn days

It has been so wonderful over the last couple of weeks to be able to enjoy some of the gorgeous Indian summer days we Minnesotans were longing for in September and October.  I guess Mother Nature has not forgotten us.
