Joy (Wine and Spirits) to the World!

i love wine.  wine wine wine!  thankfully, just a short two-block stroll from moondance botanicals, is joy wine and spirits!  i feel much joy when i walk in the store, because the staff is SO friendly! and knowledgeable and upbeat (must be all that joy...), AND i alllllllwaaaaaaays get a biscuit when my mom is at the counter paying.  always.  :)  my mom loves the "boutique-y" feel of the store because it's easy to find the perfect wine in a snap.  and she thinks they carry a great selection of varietals, regions AND price points.  i don't know what any of that means, but when i manage to sneak a sip of whatever she gets, it's always yummy...  

one time i walked in to the store and thought the runner in the front was a patch of grass, so i started peeing... oops!  my mom was really embarrassed and asked if she could clean it up, but the nice guy who was working insisted that it was no big deal and didn't even get upset.  phew! now we always make sure that i get a little break before going inside.  what can i say, i'm just a puppy...  ahem...!

A Pet's Paradise IS Paradise!!

i know, i know... every pet store lets in dogs!  BUT not every pet store remembers your name, gives you lots of love, and has the best treats everrrrrr!  we love a pet's paradise, on 9th and corona!  the ladies who own it are sooooo awesome!  they also have a really cool metaphysical store next door that i like to cruise around once in a while... and you know how my mom loves all of that stuff...!  we shop at a pet's paradise because it's local, it's owned by women, the selection is great, and the customer service is amazing!   my favorite product is a big ol' bag of natural treats and chews called "hungry dog"; i highly recommend it.  you never know what you're going to get, and some of the pieces are huge, but i manage to devour every single one.  giant hoof?  no problem.  unidentified toe?  love it.  mystery chew?  yummmmm!  

a pet's paradise is a boo's paradise and i give it two paws up!

Yahoo for Wahoo's Fish Tacos!

there's a great uptown place named wahoo's,

whose patio we just love to cruise!

the food is way rockin',

but the margs will be knockin'

the next morning!  oh no!  too much booze!

wahoo's fish tacos is my mom's favorite denver restaurant!  the food is sooooo delicious (i manage a bite myself whenever i can sneak in...!), the margaritas are killlllllller (in more ways than one), the staff is reeeeeeallllllly nice, and they have a fun patio where i can hang out!   we usually go with friends, but if we go by ourselves (since i can't go inside) my mom can call from the patio and they will bring our order to our table!  now that is the ultimate in dog-friendly service!   we go to the one on 20th because it's the closest to our house, but all of the wahoo's are awesome!!!  

i had SO much fun on cinco de mayo with my sister, clary, and my aunties, tonja and jenny!  i love my family!!!
