Doggie Dining on the Patio ...

The weather is FINALLY getting warm, the sun is out, the rain is staying away, you want to go out for dinner, but you've been at work all day and the pup has been home alone all day? No problem! Pick up the pup and head down to Nancy G's Cafe in Sandy Springs for a fantastic dinner for you, and doggie dining on the patio for your dog!!

Nancy G's specializes in fresh contemporary Southern cuisine and every single item on the menu is plate-licking good! Saturday afternoon when I went in with my neighbor and our dogs, I had the Fish Tacos. They were delicious! The blackened mahi-mahi was perfect and the hint of avocado and fresh tomato/onion salsa with cilantro was like a flavor explosion in my mouth!

Last time I went in for dinner, I had the grilled portabella sandwich with the fresh goat cheese. Mmmmm, can we say "YUM!" The dessert look delectable, but I've been good, and have not indulged in dessert since I've always been so full after my entree!

So, now you know what you're going to eat ... what about your pup?? They even have a doggie menu where you can buy carrots or Green Dog Cookie Co. organic cookies!! Stop on by, tell them Amanda sent you ... and bring your pup!!!

Bark for Life - American Cancer Society



Next Saturday (March 15, 2010) the American Cancer Society is hosting a BARK FOR LIFE down at Piedmont Park! This is the canine version of the Relay for Life that many of you may have heard of in the past. Register, walk, celebrate! You will also get a participant goody bag which includes free Green Dog Cookie Co. cookies!!

Relay For Life’s motto is “Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.” Bark For Life embodies the concept of Celebration – a celebration of life and of unconditional love, and of their ability to empower us through our relationships with our pets. By dedicating a morning to our furry friends and the special role they play in our lives, Bark For Life offers the entire community an opportunity to actively engage with the American Cancer Society in the fight against cancer by raising awareness and needed funds for continued research, programs, service, education, and advocacy.

Our canine companions offer us joy, security, and compassion. Your participation in Bark For Life honors these important family members, while supporting the life-saving mission of the American Cancer Society.

Bark For Life provides an irresistible way to “take a bite out of cancer.”
