It's that time of year again: patio season! I'm so happy the weather is finally warming up and patios around Rochester, Minnesota are opening up.

This is the time of year that we live for in Minnesota! The sun being out, the weather is warm, and you're having a drink and/or some delicious food out on a patio somewhere with your friends and, ideally, your four-legged friend, too.

It's time to get your dog out on the town and hit up some local restaurants!

Of course, if your dog doesn't do well with new people, lots of noise, or other dogs, it's best to leave them at home for your sanity, for the safety of your dog, and for the safety of everyone else and other dogs at the restaurant.
