My parents have out-of-town visitors so they knocked off early from work on Friday and took us all out for lunch at Moonshine Grill. I love going out to eat!
We were seated on the patio and I was one of three dogs there. I made friends with the dog at the next table. We were both tethered to the iron fence a few feet away from our humans' tables so were were able to visit with (sniff) each other. The server lady brought a water bowl for the two of us to share. I think both of our parents were thankful that we made friends as we pretty much left them alone to enjoy their human talk.
The server lady was very friendly and the service was excellent. First, she brought seasoned popcorn for the table. Good thing, too, because the humans were starving. Mom looked me right in the eye and told me dogs don't eat popcorn but I caught a few kernels when the humans accidentally dropped them and, on the contrary, dogs DO eat popcorn!
My parents and their friends feasted on warm bacon dip, pimento cheeseburger, Texas Akaushi beef meatloaf, jalapeño hanger steak, and breaded walnut chicken. While I was occupied with my dog friend, I did occasionally give my parents my side-eye to see if they would drop any of that delicious food for me. I am not allowed to receive food from the table but I should always be ready in case my parents change their minds one day.
We got up to leave before my new doggy friend was ready to leave so I wanted to stay behind with my new friend. Mom told me I had to pose for my blog pic but I was mad at Mom for making me leave my new friend. To show her how mad I was, I wouldn't look at her while she was taking my pic. Bratty behavior, I know. But I am now a teenager (in dog years) and these are just really confusing times for me.
Moonshine Grill is a great dog-friendly place with excellent service and wonderful food. Oh, and also, the building is on the Austin Ghost Tour so the place may be haunted.
