I truly cannot imagine Christmas without one of our dogs on the couch curled up with us sipping hot chocolate and watching Hallmark Christmas movies. Dogs make Christmas better!
Dogs love Christmas as they get more time with their humans but many Christmas treats make puppies sick so please be careful of chocolate, poinsettias, sugar free gum, raisins, and just chewing and eating toys and wrapping paper. Keep your angel safe over Christmas break by keeping an eye on them!
Metazoa Brewing Company in Indianapolis allows dogs inside the brewery as they do not have a full kitchen. If you have not visited this ultra trendy brewery, you need to check it out. They frequently have food trucks parked outside, too. www.metazoa.beer
One of Kyle and I’s favorite wineries is Two EE’s Winery in Huntington, Indiana. Their wines are wonderful and you must try a Frose. It is a frozen rose. They allow dogs in all outdoor areas including their amphitheater where they host summer concerts. They have a wonderful cheeseboard and excellent outdoor areas where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine, nibble on the delicious cheeses, and let your Colonial Villlage labradoodle hang out with you. Huntington is working to restore the area and it is very tourist friendly. Take your dog for a walk on the campus of Huntington College, too! www.twoees.com
Have you found somewhere that allows puppies and a Yappy Hour? Please share!
Dog Friendly in Carmel, Indiana
Not far from our farm in Sheridan is the upscale and trendy town of Carmel, Indiana. Carmel is considered one of the most dog friendly towns in Indiana and if you decide to people watch in certain areas you will undoubtedly observe a CVL puppy. Most restaurants allow dogs for patio dining but none allow indoor dining. Call ahead to confirm.
Donatello’s in Carmel allow your dogs to enjoy a meal outside with you and on Thursdays offer “Dine with your Dog.” They will serve your pampered pooch its own bowl of chicken and rice.
We love walking our leashed dogs on the Monon Trail in Carmel. It is hard to build up speed as everyone wants to stop and pet our dogs. We use it for a stroll but not exercise!
Love to check out architecture? We eat on the patios in the Village of West Clay and then walk the neighborhood enjoying the amazing period homes. We love a home with a front porch.

We love to travel with our CVL pets! I cannot tell you how many hotels we have stayed in with our puppies through the years. As we thought about our desire to take our dogs with us on vacation, we decided to share some favorite locations to travel with your CVL puppy. Don’t forget, everyone will stop to ask about your baby and we love referrals!
Today, we will focus on travel in Indiana. Did you know you could take your dog to the Conrad Hotel in Indy? One of our families was living at the Conrad for a few months and decided to bring home a puppy from us while they were working in Indiana. They named the puppy, Gus, for Augustus Conrad. The staff of the Conrad spoiled Gus with treats and his own special bed. They will do the same for your puppy. Your dog will even get a bandana and a dog bowl. Celebrating your dog’s birthday at the Conrad? The staff will order him a custom cake from Three Dog (pet) Bakery! Nothing but the best for your CVL puppy!

We also swoon over Hotel Indigo in Columbus, Indiana. You will love the modern architecture and decod and your dog will love the welcome they receive. They even have their own staff dog named Miles who is available for cuddles. If you forget your dog but you want to have a pet in your room, you can request to borrow their fish in a fishbowl. This hotel knows the value of pets for a human’s psyche.
Miles has his own parties for guests on the patio from June- October called “Canines and Cocktails.” Sign us up! 812-375-9100. www.ihg.org
