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.

Jessica - Sooo many cuties and so many great shots!
Stephanie - What fun! Love the shot of the mini poodle and german shephard sniffing each other
Kristy - Ooooh, they are too cute! Especially the 5th one down. The bigs and littles always look funny next to each other, and that little is just about on his tippy toes to sniff the big.
