The world’s definitely going to the dogs.

You knew this was true the moment you realized it was easier to teach Fifi to roll over than it was to get your new boyfriend to put the toilet seat down.

So reward her with a date to The Pooch Patio, a canine-friendly watering hole.

It’s the one place your pet is always welcome to stick his nose into. Whether you’re sitting outside on the covered patio or snuggled in front of the cozy fireplace, you’ll find plenty of company for your four-legged friend. You can even primp Puddles at one of The Pooch Patio’s self-grooming stations (they clean up the mess) or make an appointment for her to see an onsite professional.

Afterward, treat her to one of The Pooch Patio’s prepackaged gourmet meals. But don’t be surprised when she begs for more attention.

It’s the one trick she and your boyfriend have both mastered.

The Pooch Patio, 3811 Fairmount Street, Oak Lawn (214-252-1550 or thepoochpatio.com).
