Happy Bday, Ma!

Weird post, but there's a method to my madness! Here's a link to this place and it is DOG FRIENDLY! Check it out! Anyway, yesterday was Mama's birthday. She's always wanted to go to this restaurant and then found out I could come too! Look at the other puppers here on the patio! This is a funky (but too pricey) restaurant in Sausalito. We've been having somewhat of a heatwave inland, so we knew that dining by the Bay would be cool!

Look at all the pups who showed up! This place is known for its pawesome fish, fresh off the boat, and also for the freshest foods from local farmers. I stationed myself near Emma, where I knew I'd eventually score.

Mama with Cameron and me... Cameron had just returned from an amazing trip to Peru and brought something so cool that we couldn't believe it! She'd made a "Jeopardy!" board filled with answers about Peru.

Here it is. While we munched on the most amazing hors d'oevres such as homemade chips with trout dip, Cameron proceeded to annhiliate us one by one. Such hard "answers"! By then, I was really hoping the wee peep, Emma, would arbitrarily drop a goodie for me...

Soooo... and she... DID!!! Lots of 'em! Sure like birthdays... any peeps' or pups'! Then we ordered our dinners.
Even Mama said, "OMD" when this came! Totally wild, fresh trout, so pink and yomzers with unbelievably fresh veggies - she finished about 1/3 of it. The plate was so heavy, she couldn't pass it around to the others for tasty tastins'! I even got a nibble of what fresh, pink trout is like... mmmmmnnnnn!

And the contents of the whole restaurant sang "Happy Bday" to Mama, while I hoped I'd get a piece. Not happenin' this year! If any of yous comes to visit, I highly recommend you try this place. Pawesome...totally!

Oh drool! Why can't we have a place like that here? Mom says probably because nobody would want to eat the nasty Asian carp that have invaded our river. We wish your mom a very Happy Birthday!
