World Class Cuisine

My precious pups, Mia and Logan, have been really patient with me… again! I’ve been busy gearing up for outside dining…no small feat… with an ambience that is charming and inviting (thanks to Tobey Design Group). The outside dining area truly twinkles and sparkles. As do Mia and Logan’s eyes when their Dad returns home after evenings of welcoming guests! I, and my incredible warm and friendly team, look forward to seeing you soon…inside, outside or curbside for take-out!

FLIPS + FLOPS

A Drink with Style

If you happen to love French Bulldogs, or any dogs, think you’ll love these fun ice molds. What a great way to serve up a cool summer beverage! (Williams-Sonnoma.com)

Garden Calm

After somewhat of a chaotic year, these guys make me smile. Every garden could use a bit of Zen…especially in the form of a dog. (uncommongoods.com)

A Dog Selfie

There’s nothing better than a great selfie, and here’s a gadget that’s guaranteed to get your pup to look straight into the camera. Simply attached their favorite treat to it, and you’ll quickly get a doggone great smile. (PawChamps.com)

A Bad Pour

Have drink…will travel! I’m all for that but find this dog-shaped decanter a bit offensive. Why, oh why, didn’t they have it pour from the dog’s mouth??? (TheWineSavant.com)

A Cat Selfie

I think selfies are fun to share on Instagram…but maybe not in the bathroom! This website lets one transfer selfies onto shower curtains, bathmats and even toilet accessories. What will humans think of next? (itday.com)

Garden Chaos

Talk about chaos? Well, here you go! These motion-activated sprinklers are sure to scare animals away from the garden…and scare the bejesus out of them too. Unless, of course, one happens to have a dog that loves to play with sprinklers! (hammacher.com)
