Blitz & Skyy Review  Blitz, the Pomeranian: The Laughing Seed is the closest restaurant to our store. I love to sit on my mommy's lap when we're waiting for her order. Unfortunately, she'll put me down as soon as the food is coming. On a very nice day, there will be few dogs dining with their owners at the restaurant sidewalk seating. Today, we met Rusty. The waiter did give Rusty some water from the water bowl but unfortunately we didn't get any until Rusty left.
Skyy, the Husky: We love Laughing Seed and we give four paws because this Husky girl wasn't offered any water until we were about to leave. Today is a warm day and as a Husky, I need to keep myself cool. See my picture under the table...:)

Blitz & Skyy Review  Blitz, the Pomeranian: Asheville Pizza & Brewing Company is my favorite pizza place. It is a place where everybody knows our names. Hey, when the beers and foods are named after the owner and staffs dog's, you know that they must love dogs. You can't go wrong with Scout's Stout and Olive Spinach Burger. The boys there always wanted to feed me pizza crust and my mommy always have to tell them that I have the most sensitive tummy. Only dog's food and treats for me.
Skyy, the Husky: Too bad for my little brother, Blitz, for his sensitive tummy. I think Asheville Pizza Crust is the best. My favorite is the sesame crust. I called them Pizza Bones...yummmmm. Mommy said that I have to watch my girly figure so only one pizza bone every time we go there. I love to hang out in the patio area and say hi to all my two and four legged friends. Beer and pizza...need to say more?
