Dog owners invited to bring pups for a drink
The pandemic has taken a huge toll on how humans interact. Zoom, Facetime and similar apps have become really popular. But what about our furry friends?
They, too, miss running around in the park and socializing with other pets.
Now that COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted Canine to Five, a dog day care and boarding center in metro Detroit, is bringing back its popular Drinking with Dogs event. Each month dog owners gather at a local bar to have a nice drink while their dogs socialize with their friends from day care.
“Dogs can be introverted just like people can so it’s nice to be able to have them meet up with their friends as well. At Canine to Five, we have a lot of dogs that are used to boarding together, are used to doing doggy day care together so it’s just another opportunity for them to socialize,” said a Canine to Five spokesperson.
This first Drinking with Dogs event will take place from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday at The Skip bar in downtown Detroit. This is a first-come, first-served event so visitors are encouraged to come early because seats fill up fast.
Each event is on the outdoor patio of the bar. All dogs must be leashed the entire time and be up to date on their vaccinations.
The schedule for Canine to Five’s Drinking with Dogs 2021 is:
Wednesday, July 14: The Skip, Belt Alley between Broadway and Library Streets
Tuesday, Aug. 10: Old Miami, 3930 Cass
Wednesday, Sept. 22: Detroit City Distillery, 2462 Riopelle Tuesday, Oct. 26: The Congregation, 9321 Rosa Parks Blvd. This event will include the popular Halloween Costume Contest, with prizes for individual and group costumes.
