Madame, would Monsieur Fido prefer Evian or Pellegrino?

If you've been to a restaurant patio here in Denver lately you may have noticed signs telling you that your dog is not welcome to dine with you. This makes perfect sense to me, since I really don't go out to eat with animals.

Apparently this is a much bigger deal to some social puppy walkers in Cherry Creek North.

Recently in Westword, Jason Sheehan snuck in a great little nugget about the opportunity this brouhaha has created for a new restaurant there:

"Yes, that's right. Not only will French 250 — which is scheduled to open August 18 at 250 Steele Street in the old Bistro Adde Brewster space — walk and water your dog (courtesy of Poocharella dog-walking service), but it will be keeping a friggin' VIP list of the pets.

Honestly, I don't know how to respond to that."
