We recently found out about Diningwithfido.com an awesome website based in Atlanta. Suddenly there is even more reason to be dreamy of warm sunny Atlanta weather. Dining With Fido lists Atlanta Restaurants by neighborhood that have Doggie Friendly Patios.
Check out Dining With Fido’s tips for Patio Ettiquette:
1.Always call ahead to make sure tables are available.
2.Nobody knows your dog better than you. To minimize frustration and embarrassment, be sure of your dog’s public manners and ability to be calm around food and strangers.
3.Exercise prior to a meal outing can be very helpful to keep your dog relaxed and well behaved.
4.Let your dog go potty before getting seated.
5.Sometimes it is a good idea to bring your own water bowl on hot days.
6.Bring a leash that allows your dog to be tied to a post, your chair, or under the table. Leashes too long can be dangerous for the servers.
Boy, I can’t wait for Spring!

It is so sad that Atlanta’s Mei Lan was called back to China, but what an interesting read her adjustment to her new life makes. It seems Chinese Zoo Keepers are looking for a tutor to teach Mei Lan Chinese?!
And while she will have some of her American Biscuits now, she will be transitioned over to Chinese ‘wotou’ (steamed bread made of corn and sorghum) and fresh bamboo. Read more in the AP Wire Story.
And check out China’s Panda Kindergarten!
I thought those were stuffed animals when I first saw them!
The Atlanta Humane Society has stepped in to help transport over 100 animals from the City of Clarksdale Animal Shelter. The ASPCA helped organize the rescue of over 400 animals from the shelter. For more information on the ASPCA’s role check out ASPCA.org.
The Atlanta Humane Society has taken in over 6 dozens of the rescued animals and reports that many will need costly medical care before they can be adopted. To find out more about the state of the rescued animals or to make donations to help care for them click here.
