&nbsp;

Although...for me, it doubles as fun and socialization for my rescued pooch.

&nbsp;

And what could be more fun than Yappy Hour?

&nbsp;

I'm pleased to inform you that this Yappy Hour takes place at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Course.  Yes, on the grounds of <em>that</em> Biltmore Hotel.

&nbsp;

The Adobe Restaurant on the golf course is the first dog-certified patio in my fair city.  Outside of Yappy Hour, you can call for a reservation, and if your pooch happens to be within the max of their 5 pups on the patio limit, you can dine with your dog.

&nbsp;

Is that cool or what???  One of the city's shi-shi-est luxury hotels is the forerunner in dog-friendly patios?  We're becoming soooooo West Coast.  I'll take the similarity in a heartbeat!

&nbsp;

I'm actually going to have to return for Yappy Hour so that Bella can enjoy the pup grub.  Not knowing there was a dog menu previously, Bella scarfed down her Stella &amp; Chewy's as usual and arrived at Yappy Hour with a full belly.  I apologize for the blurry photo.  The options are:  Zen Beef &amp; Rice, Warrior Chicken &amp; Potatoes, and Adobe Puppy Treats which are homemade by the restaurant.  You'd have to be a Canine Scrooge to not be anything but tickled by this menu!

&nbsp;

After Yappy Hour, we moved on over to the Doga tent for twenty minutes or so of Pooch Nirvana.
