The Straight Poop: Drake About Town

Where am I taking my humans today?

Well folks, summer is here, and the livin’ is easy! After a long winter, it’s time to step it up (the Missus has a goal of 10,000 steps per day), and check out over 40 dog friendly business in our neck of the woods. 

I have been writing this column for almost two years, and during this time I’ve meet so many cool dudes, been asked for my paw-tograph, and shared K-9 stories and fun facts about my favorite digs. Locals and tourists stop me on the street and ask me where their fur babies are welcome. So grab your leashes, lead your humans to these tail waggin’ businesses, relax and enjoy a cool one!

Look for the Reader paw print in the window, put on your best manners, give slobbery dog kisses, and you might score a treat!
