I called ahead and to my delight found a restaurant in the middle of the village that allowed dogs to dine at their establishment.  So off we went with the birthday boy and girl dressed in their new collars  and leashes!  They loved every minute of their day.  First we walked the trails with a stop for fresh water from their new travel water bowls, then a walk through town where they got LOTS of attention from shop owners and visitors.  We had lunch at The Warehouse Steak N Stein (www.warehousesteaknstein.com) on the patio where non-service dogs are allowed.  Thomas had the Smokehouse Burger with fries and I had the Beer Battered Walleye Fish Sandwich.  Both were delicious.  This was the first dining experience for Jake and Maggie and they were soooo good!  I wish I would have taken more pictures but honestly, I was nervous that they would act up and was more worried about them being relaxed than getting pictures.  The garden court patio was beautiful with moss covered brick pavers and strings of twinkle lights draped from one weeping tree to the other.  The pups got their own bowl of fresh water from out very sweet waitress and after awhile relaxed under our patio table while we finished our lunch.  I got one picture of them under our table!
