Hello from DallasDogLife!
I hope everyone is staying dry! All this rain has made for some very restless DallasDogLife residents, and we're supposed to get even more today. Hopefully this weekend will be nicer, especially since it's a big football weekend. If your dog is a fan of any teams with big games this weekend, post a picture of your pup wearing his team colors on the DallasDogLife.com Facebook page!
Featured Review: Café Lago
www.cafe-lago.com
In January 2007, the City of Dallas passed an ordinance for restaurant owners to legally allow dogs on their patios. Local dog-lovers were ecstatic until we realized that several months after the ordinance had passed, no restaurants had been officially designated as "dog-friendly." On May 28, 2008 the Dallas City Council updated the Dog Variance Ordinance with some more relaxed rules - primarily that owners must ensure that the dogs are on leashes and that staff does not touch the dogs. Café Lago was the first to receive a permit (#001) to allow dogs on their patio, so DallasDogLife went to check it out. Read the full review here.
