Kid Magnet

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the things that I love about the summer is being able to dine at restaurants with my mom and dad. Occasionally on the weekends we make sunday morning breakfasts (which accommodate outdoor seating that is dog friendly) a priority.

This particular weekend I decided to hit up the Green Street Grill for some yummy breakfast.

As soon as I parked myself at the dining table I began to draw attention from the other diners, in particular those that were under 3 feet tall.

If you didn’t know already, I’m a total kid magnet!

Maybe it’s because I’m the perfect kid-friendly size, but where-ever I go those tiny little hands are bound to find their way onto my fur.

And I’m totally ok with being a kid magnet, because when I’m stuck eyeballing mom’s breakfast (that I seem to never get a bite of)…..

….I know there will always be a kid nearby that has their breakfast all over their face and hands that totally won’t mind if I sneak a lick!

Afterwards, when I thought my breakfast outing was over, we headed out to the home improvement store to do some shopping.

Little did I know that my breakfast wasn’t quite over yet, because I got to meet this little girl with delicious left-over food all over her face!

Being a kid magnet is exhausting, but I wouldn’t change it for anything, because someone out there has to rid the world of sticky kid hands and faces!

The Dog Friendly Shake Shack

Posted on May 21, 2014 by Ammo

On a recent excursion I found myself at the King of Prussia Mall, right around dinner time I might add. Not one to pass up an opportunity to dine out with my family, I decided to try out one of the local dog friendly restaurants.

The Shake Shack is located just outside the mall, and has establishments in other states as well. I had heard rumors that they had a dog menu, so I couldn’t wait to try it out!

I waited patiently outside under our table while mom and dad went inside to check out the menu.

There was in fact a whole section of the menu dedicated to us furry four-legged patrons!

In collaboration with one of my favorite bakeries, Bocce’s Bakery, the Shake Shack offered up some tasty biscuits and frozen treats.

But alas, they were all sold out of both when mom and dad finally made it up to the counter to order!

There was no shortage of human food though and while my parents chowed down on hot dogs, burgers, fries and shakes, I was left staring at the table like this….

Don’t worry, when you look this cute you get your fair share of burgers and fries too!

I’ll just have to hit up the Shake Shack again soon to try out their doggie menu. What’s your dog’s favorite dog friendly restaurant? Share your favorites around the country in the comments below!

Tonight We Dine!

As the weather gets even warmer I look forward to more nights out on the town with my mom and dad. Being a small dog means I can easily be taken lots of places, and outdoor dining is no exception.

Being a small dog also means I can easily fit under the table – which is the best place to be when you’re hoping for table scraps! Yum!

Check out one of my previous outdoor dining adventures HERE, where I met a pretty cute motorcycle babe!

Friday Fetch: Dining with Dogs

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Ammo

I like dining out just as much as my Mom and Dad, but finding restaurants that are dog friendly can sometimes be a bit tricky. So when I stumbled across the Dining with Dogs website the other day, I thought it was a great resource for pooches that hate to be left out on dinner dates.

Dining with Dogs features reviews of restaurants that allow dogs to dine in their outdoor eating areas. Currently they only have reviews in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, and New York – but anyone can submit a review of a restaurant in your own area.

Sadly there weren’t any listed in my home state of Pennsylvania, but I fixed that by submitting a review of one of my favorite restaurants to dine at, the Four Dogs Tavern in West Chester, PA. (It’s also were I first met Annie, the motorcycle mama) Hopefully it will be up on the site soon!
