Harley goes to a bar!
Tonight was just so cool! We took Harley to a fantastic outdoor Italian restaurant, and he was so good. For most of the time, he just lay beside my Hubster. When he got up, we told him to sit, then down, then gave him a teensy piece of delicious bread as a reward. We were at the restaurant for about 2 hours. (La Maria in Landstuhl)
When we left, we decided to visit the Red Lion Bar about a block away. When we got there, the outer doors were open and we got a table right inside. A guy was there with his pet snake, Fred. Lots of people petted Harley, and both me and the Hubs petted and held Fred. (Fred was a boa, about 24 inches long, 1 1/2 years old, just a little sweetie snake) Harley at first wanted to sniff Fred, but then he seemed pretty uninterested in him, even when Fred went to sleep in his arms. Harley seemed to be saying "Whats this? a PET snake? Hmmph! I want a wild snake to bite, not a pet, Fred is kinda cool." :)
Around 10pm they closed the outer doors, and cranked up the music. Harley was a super-angelic dog, he just laid on the floor, wagged his tail, and was a "chick magnet" since The Hubs had his leash. (When I have his leash, he turns into a Dude Magnet) At one point 3 women were sitting on the floor of the bar petting him and hanging all over him...(that is Harley, NOT The Hubs, ha!) The bar had a pool table, clean restrooms, great music, big video screen, and cold beer. Mostly this was an American bar, although a few German nationals were there, and also British folks. We met new friends, and saw old ones.
This was Harley's first trip to both this particular restaurant and a bar of any kind. This was a GREAT night for all of us!
