Here are a few of my favorite dog-friendly dining digs: GRRROWLER’S TAP ROOM AND BEER GARDEN Just what you’re looking for in The Colony—a place to hang with peeps and pooches.

Locations in Dallas, Addison and Lakewood www.dreamcafedallas.com CHUY’S Who doesn’t love Tex-Mex with a quirky atmospheric twist? In Dallas, Chuy’s is a staple for made-from-scratch apps and entrees, and your pup will personally thank you for the dedicated pet-shaded patio areas. Multiple locations throughout DFW www.chuys.com SNUG ON THE SQUARE This quaint, cozy coffee house and café offers comfortable outdoor seating on the patio and often features local artists and musicians in their inviting eclectic shop. 109 N. Kentucky St. McKinney www.snugonthesquare.com Editor’s Note: Meet Cooper and Kristin Cooper the Dog - Eight years ago, I was a rescue puppy with Golden Retriever Rescue of North Texas. My mom says I'm still a puppy because I haven't slowed down one bit. When I'm not chasing my tail or begging to go on a run, I'm hanging with my family and waiting for the mail carrier. (I get a treat for handing over the mail to humans.) Kristin the Transcriber - When my mom isn't writing and editing with me at her feet, she's chauffeuring, cooking, running or reading. I really like her because she knows my favorite food is avocado, and she always shares hers with me.
