This dog gets a lot of attention in the bars

After leading us to Truck and Tap, he promptly jumped on the window sill and settled down. While I went in to grab three drinks – the bar folks always add a glass of water for him. Some of the regulars like Braxton even walked up from their seats to chat with him.

We are now being referred to “That dog’s parents!”

In his other favorite bar, Chiringa – he is shown a little more respect and addressed by his full name!

Give me a break

Every walk to downtown entails at least 20 stops for him to sniff around and put in his marker. And that is just one way count. The one time we stop to take a picture on our way back from the Farmers’ Market, he gives us this impatient “What’s holding you up?” look!

He waited at the door

Jay Jay and I were walking around in downtown Alpharetta. I was going to settle down outside Truck and Tap with a glass of wine and both of us were going to watch the crowd. Now, dogs are not allowed inside in this particular bar.

On other days, Sharmila would be with him and I would go inside and get the drinks. But today, she is not here. To try something new, I told him to sit and stay as I went in to quickly get a glass of wine.

He faithfully stood by the door the entire time as I placed my order, grabbed the drink and settled the bill. Then we sat down together to watch the crowd!
