Dining In and Out With Dogs in Las Vegas NV October 2024

Dining 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 a very social dog and loved everyone. He also loved going out to eat. When he got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer and was only expected to live 3-6 months. I thought the nicest thing I could do for Louie was to take him out to eat as often as possible. Instead of the 3-6 months Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out when the weather is right and when I can.

The earth is warming and we have had record breaking heat in Las Vegas. At 10:30 it is borderline hot so the dogs got to go to our local In-N-Out Burger.

Here they are at the drive thru.

We fed them some Cheeseburger on the patio.

They always enjoy In-N-Out Cheeseburgers.

The next week it was hot again so we took the dogs to Five Guys and they got a take out burger bowl from there.

They enjoyed the car ride and they look like they are about to enjoy the cheeseburger.

Time to try some.

They always enjoy a Five Guys Cheeseburger.

I thought it was going to be cool the next week. Instead it was another record breaker in Las Vegas…..Oh well…. Off to In-N-Out for a quick cheeseburger. Since they open at 10:30am and have a shaded patio we can give the dogs cheeseburger on the patio before it hits 90 degrees.

The Giant Aussie/Cattledog felt the need to push the Beagle/Chihuahua out of his seat so SHE could watch their cheeseburger get prepared.

Who wants some cheeseburger?

They always enjoy In-N-Out Cheeseburgers.

The Dogs finally got to dine out at SNS Diner BBQ. If this place seems familiar to you then perhaps you saw this place on Diners Drive Ins and Dives on Food Network.

The 1/2 chicken was very good here and the dogs got to enjoy some of it.

They also got to enjoy some of my husband’s Brisket Philly Sandwich.

We all enjoyed our trip to SNS Diner BBQ.

Dining Out and In With DOGS In Las Vegas NV September 2024

Around the beginning of the month it finally started to get cooler in Vegas so we were able to Dine Out With Dogs. Dining Out With Dogs sort of started with my late dog Louie. Good Old Louie always enjoyed going out to eat. When he got diagnosed with aggressive cancer I took him out as often as I could and instead of the 3-6 months they thought he had Good Old Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

We made it to the #1 Hawaiian Barbecue. They don’t have their own patio but only two doors down is a community patio.

I got….I mean we got the maui maui healthier plate (salad & brown rice makes this healthier than white rice and macaroni salad)

My husband (and dogs) got some of the spicy chicken plate.

Gotta feed the dogs some fish.

Mine also came with a hard boiled egg so I shared that with the dogs too!

Who knew the next week would be too hot to dine out with dogs?….So we brought them back a Five Guys Cheeseburger.

They would rather dine out but they always enjoy a Five Guys Cheeseburger.

The next week it was hot again so the dogs went for a ride to the In-N-Out Drive Thru.

Here’s their cheeseburger.

They get to eat the meat & cheese.

They always enjoy In-N-Out Cheeseburgers.

The following it was borderline cool enough to dine out. We tried to dine at SNS Diner BBQ. But they were having some sort of meltdown that day. We’ll try them again in the near future.

We did get to make it out to Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas. They specialize in Pizzas and Cheesesteaks. If they seem familiar to you it’s because you might have seen them on Food Network’s Diners Drive Ins and Dives. They love dogs here and have a craft dog biscuit vending machine inside. Today they enjoyed some craft chicken dog biscuits.

They also enjoyed chicken from my Lakeside Salad.

They also got to enjoy some cheesesteak.

The Dogs always enjoys all their trips to Those Guys Pies.

Dining IN With DOGS Las Vegas NV August 2024

We try to take the dogs out to eat at least once a week but it has been too hot outside to dine out with dogs in Las Vegas so we are dining in. This is a combination of dining in with dogs and taking them for a ride to get a cheeseburger.

We took the dogs to a Jack In The Box and brought the burger home.

They get to eat about 1/3 of the burger without bread as a treat today and the rest over the next two days.

The dogs never refuse a cheeseburger!

The dogs also got to eat Thai Food from Amazing Thai in North Las Vegas.

They enjoyed Chicken Spicy Basil and Salmon Panang.

Then from Born and Raised Sports Bar in North Las Vegas the dogs enjoyed part of a Texas Burger.

and chicken from their signature salad.

Today the dogs got a cheeseburger from Five Guys.

Today we took the dogs to the In-N-Out to bring home a cheeseburger for them. They know the cheeseburger is coming from someplace inside.

Now at home they get to eat some.

We took out a cheesesteak WITHOUT onions (because onions are toxic to dogs) for the dogs from Those Guys Pies. We just give them some meat and cheese.

That was dining in with dogs for August 2024. We hope that you’ve enjoyed and we hope to see you next month.

Dining IN with DOGS July 2024 – Dogs Eating Cheeseburgers

I try to take my dogs out to eat at least once a week. It’s good for them. They enjoy going out. But it’s only safe to do when the weather is right. Lately it’s been too hot to dine out with dogs so we take them for a car ride and pick something up for them.

Today we took a car ride to Carl’s Jr.

The Giant Aussie/Cattledog just shoved the Beagle/Chihuahua out of his seat so she could watch the people working at Carl’s.

Look at her face she looks like she is watching television.

Here is their burger.

Onions and bread are removed. The dogs eat a quarter of the burger once a day as a treat.

The dogs always enjoy dining out but also always enjoy a Carl’s Jr Cheeseburger.

Then we took them out to In-N-Out Burger.

They always enjoy a cheeseburger from In-N-Out.

The next week was boiling hot again so the dogs went to In-N-Out Burger again. They seem very interested with the In-N-Out action.

At home they get to eat about 1/3 third of the cheeseburger as a treat for the next two days minus most of the bread.

They always enjoy eating cheeseburgers.

We also did take out from Lino’s Italian.

We took out a couple pizzas and a CHEESEBURGER for the dogs….

Lino’s Special Pizza MINUS the green pepper and onion.

Dog with spinach pizza

other dog with spinach pizza…

You know how it goes.

Dogs always love cheeseburgers

Squeeze Cheese, Chicken Liver & Peanut Butter are helpful to give Medication to difficult Dogs

One of my dogs is older and is now on a lot of medications. This dog is difficult to give medication too. She even spits out pill pockets. She even spits out pill pockets without medication in them. When my last dog Louie was elderly and on lots of medications he was good with special doggy safe meatballs I used to make for him to hide pills. My current dog figured out that pills are inside the meatball so meatballs don’t work for her. The last few weeks chicken liver, squeeze cheese, and peanut butter are the only things that she will take pills in.

Here’s the squeeze cheese.

Squirt a small amount on your palm and insert pill.

Now squirt a little more to hide the pill.

Offer to dog.

Dog takes medication.

Then the slightly bigger pills I try to incase in Chicken Liver (just dump chicken livers from container into a baking dish in a preheated 350 degree F oven for around 30 minutes…you can season sparingly with a very small amount of sea salt and a very small amount of pepper)

Then I use squeeze cheese to coat the pill.

For bigger pills I use peanut butter.

I wrap the peanut butter around the pill and then offer to my patient.

Chicken Liver, Squeeze Cheese, and Peanut Butter are Helpful to give Medications to difficult dogs.

Dining Out (& IN) With DOGS in Las Vegas June 2024

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. You know Louie always enjoyed going out to eat. When he got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that he probably only had 3 months to live…..but maybe up to 6 months………I took Louie out to eat as often as possible since going out to eat was his greatest enjoyment. Instead of the 3-6 months Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

Just so you know I am usually a week or so behind with Dining Out with Dogs…..June pretty much began too hot to dine out with dogs so the dining out was actually in May and “In doors”when it was too hot.

We got to go to Hawaiian Barbecue #1 in North Las Vegas. In case you don’t know Hawaiian BBQ is usually big styrofoam containers stuffed with lots of protein and usually rice. This place doesn’t have their own patio but do share a community patio only 2 doors down. My husband (and dogs) tried the Chicken Stir Fry Saimin (Asian flavored stir fry with noodles).

And I (and dogs) had the garlic Mahi Healthier Plate (Maui Fish, salad, brown rice, and hard egg). (with garlic scraped off for dogs) They also had some of the egg.

We all enjoyed Hawaiian Barbecue # 1

We happened to have a nice day where we could sit in shade in 85 degree weather so we went to Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas. They specialize in cheesesteaks and pizzas. If this place sound familiar to you then you might have caught them on Food Network’s Diners Drive Ins and Dives.

We started out by buying the dogs craft chicken dog biscuits from the dog biscuit vending machine that they have inside.

They also got to eat grilled chicken from my Lakeside Salad.

And Cheese Steak from my husband’s cheesesteak.

Suddenly it got very hot in Las Vegas but near the beginning of the month we had a windy-not-too-sunny day with shade so we were able to quickly enjoy some cheeseburger from In-N-Out.

They always enjoy an In-N-Out Cheeseburger.

Today it was too hot outside to dine out with dogs. So we took the dogs threw the In-N-Out Drive Thru and brought a burger home for them.

The Dogs always enjoy a Cheeseburger from In-N-Out.

Well That was Dining Out (and In) With DOGS for June 2024. We are hoping for a Monsoon to cool things here so we can Dine Out again soon! We hope to see you next month.

The following week it was cold again and extra windy so we just took the dogs to the In-N-Out Burger Drive Thru and brought the burger home for them.

They enjoyed the Cheeseburger

Bad luck again……The day I planned to take the dogs out was another cold (for here) and super windy day. 50MPH…..so we took the dogs to In-N-Out again.

The Giant Aussie loves looking into the drive thru. She just whacked the Beagle/Chihuahua out of his seat and took it so she can look in the window.

The dogs got to eat the burger at home.

They always enjoy a cheeseburger.

The weather was nice so we got to go to SNS Diner BBQ. If this place sounds familiar it might be because you saw this restaurant on Food Network’s Diners Drive Ins and Dives. They offer BBQ and also offer some breakfast foods. My husband had a three meat platter with bbq beef ribs, hot links, pulled pork, beans, corn bread, and a cup of gumbo.

I …I mean “We” had a two meat plate with 1/4 dark chicken, brisket, slaw, and cornbread……..I really enjoyed the dark chicken here and treated the pups to the brisket.

They always enjoy SNS Diner BBQ.

Dining Out With Dogs in Las Vegas NV – April 2024

Dining out with dogs is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all started with my late dog Louie. He always LOVED going out to eat and when he was elderly he came down with aggressive cancer. We were told he only had probably three months to live or maybe up to 6 months. I took Louie out to eat as often as possible and he made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

The dogs (and us) got to go to Riva’s Mexican Grill in North Las Vegas (there are three of them in North Las Vegas) but we went to the one that shares a community patio.

The dogs got to try some steak, some chicken, and some fish from my tacos.

I thought that the beef was a little chewy but my dogs thought it was great!

They also sampled food from my husband’s shrimp & carnitas tacos and his Riva’s Burrito.

A couple days latter we took the dogs to the Vet so afterwards we reward them with a Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box.

Soon we’re home with the cheeseburger.

Now they get to eat maybe a 1/3 of the burger without the bread. They get to eat the rest of the burger about a 1/3 at a time for snacks.

My dogs didn’t mind eating a Jack In The Box Burger.

This next week it was COLD and Windy so we just went threw a Carl’s.

The burgers felt dry to me but the dogs didn’t complain. They still thought the cheeseburger from Carl’s was a treat!

DARN Yet another COLD day….it was about 55 again…….but just warm enough to give the dogs some In-N-Out cheeseburger on their patio.

I do have to say that this In-N-Out burger felt juicy and moist. Bet the dogs loved it.

Next week it is suppose to hot…..like around 90 degrees……(hopefully not too hot?)

The Weather is OK (almost 90 but also windy and feels cooler) so we tried Mo’ Bettahs Hawaiian Style Food in North Las Vegas. They have only two outside patio tables. I called and asked if it was ok to dine there with dogs and they said YES so here we are.

The Hawaiian Plate Lunch is always an enormous amount of food in a styrofoam container. We got Pulehu Chicken and teriyaki chicken with brown rice and macaroni salad.

My husband shared some of his 3 meat plate with the dogs too.

He got katsu chicken, bbq beef and kalhua pork.

All the chicken dishes were good today and the dogs enjoyed them too!

Dining Out With Dogs is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It started with my late dog Louie. He always loved going out to eat. When he got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that he probably only had three months to live but might make it up to six months. The nicest thing I could do for Louie was to take him out to eat as often as I could. Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

We went to The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill in North Las Vegas. Today I shared the Great Greek Rice Bowl with Salmon with the dogs.
