Out for dinner? - UPDATE!

[Dori & Rua]

It is DH's and my 7th anniversary today.  Planned on going out to dinner but I hate to leave Rua.  I would really love to take her but the restaurants I called have these stupid rules about dogs.  Heck, I was just wanting to sit outside on the patio, but the few that allow it, you have to tie your dog up on the other side of the fence.  And that just isn't going to happen

 

I feel bad leaving her by herself...but I deserve a dinner out, right?  Oh, if we stay home, I have to go grocery shopping and do the cooking.

 

******************************************************************************************************************

UPDATE:

The response was overwhelmingly in favor of going out.  So we did.  We went to a nice little Italian restaurant...I had black fettuccine with lobster in a cream sauce.  We shared a bottle of Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay, and split tiramisu for dessert.  We left the house at 5:45 and were back a little after 7:30...we didn't linger.  Momma missed her baby.  My DH left her out of the kennel and she bolted out of the bedroom to find me.  He is disappointed that she always runs to find me and not him.  He just doesn't get she is her Momma's girl.  I am so glad, though, that he just loves her to pieces and isn't jealous of all the time I spend with her and on DK!

 

I am SOOOO full right now.

That stinks! I've had the doodles at sidewalk tables at times. I think if you have to walk through the restaurant to get to the patio that could be a problem. But go and have fun. Just tell Rua you have to go to work. Doodles understand this and everything involves some work, no? She doesn't really know if you've gone on an errand or are carousing.

You HAVE to go, it's the last day before the diet and what about that ice cream?? I had to babysit my nephews yesterday and I was suffering from no DK and no doodles. Rua will understand.
