Dining Out With DOGS is just a “Fluff” Story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. He was elderly and came down with aggressive cancer. We were told he probably only had up to three months to live but could possibly make it six months. Since Louie couldn’t do much and always enjoyed going out to eat I took him out as often as possible. Instead of the 3-6 months Louie made it another seventeen months. Today I take my current dogs out when the weather is right and when I can.
We went to Rivas Mexican Grill on North Aliante because this location has a community patio. I forgot to photo my husbands burrito and his taco but I did get a photo of my chicken salad. It’s quite large and there is plenty of (dry) chicken to share.
“Her chicken is dry” “Is yours better?”
“Give me your chicken so you don’t have to eat it” “That’s my job”
“I could use some water”
“Guess we are going someplace else next time”

Only 2 doors down from Rivas I noticed a NEW restaurant called China Kitchen so we tried it the following week on the same community patio.
The dogs and I tried some of the Hot Garlic Szechuan Chicken.
It’s not hot or garlicky. It is very flat tasting and very sweet. It’s so sweet that you could pour it on pancakes.
“This is awfully sweet”
“This smells like sweet orange chicken”
The Kung Pao Beef is hard to chew.
“I like Sweets”

It was perfect weather and we went to Mezzo Bistro & Wine. The Dogs and I shared my Steak Salad.
They also got some of my husband’s chicken parm and sausage.

This next week it was abnormally HOT 90 and 95 degrees so the dogs got a car ride to pick up salads from our local Salad & Go.
They got to eat chicken from my salad and steak from my husband’s salad.
We did alright from Salad & Go.

That was dining with DOGS for April 2025. We hope that you’ve enjoyed and we hope to see you next month.
