Our dog has never been an addition to the patio rituals we try to keep up.

He was just the current one keeping it going.

And over the years, we’ve learned that every good patio has a few things you just can’t do without.

Here are some of our non-negotiables.

Can’t beat fresh 🥢

Sophie has been making happy plates for about a month now with her The Farmer's Dog !! 😋

Now that she’s eating fresh, I’ve noticed the benefits. She’s running around more, asking to play fetch, and licking the bowl (no more picky sniff). I call that a new zest for life! 💛

Give your dog the power of fresh food at the link in bio for 60% off your first order! 🤠🐶

where were you when you read this issue of Tiger Beat? 🙌🐶💕

Me? I was in a Barnes N Noble in Rome, GA and quite literally lost the ability to speak due to the cuteness of Nick Jonas and Elvis. Who else wanted to name their dog Elvis after this? 🙋🏻‍♀️

As a Nick girl, I also love Joe and the real ones never fantasized over Kevin because we are a girl’s girl for Danielle. 👯‍♀️

Coming up, I’m going to the Jo Bros concert in Birmingham, AL so stay tuned for my dogs matching bandana for the concert. No she won’t be in attendance, but she deserves to catch the Love Bug too 😘

Whose dog also feels personally victimized or even injured after you have to move them from their comfy spot on the couch? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Good thing in the south your dog sees a sign every 1/4 mile so they can get help fast. ☎️

Let us know in the comments how sensitive your dog is 👇

fresh food = no more pickiness 👍

If your doodle treats mealtime like your kid nephew at dinner, you get it. Sophie is the pickiest eater I know and the stressful move from apartment to house turned her into an even fussier little gremlin.

The Farmer’s Dog is real fresh food, pre portioned for exactly what she needs, and the to go packs are already riding to the lake with us this weekend. 😎
