More than meets the eye

January 17, 2009 at 12:03 pm · Filed under Welcome

Quite often in life, we find that there is more to something than what originally meets the eye. In many cases, all that’s required is a little digging. Take, for example, the picture of the dog at the top of the page. All we can see is a small piece of the picture. Dig a little (and by dig, I mean scroll down to the bottom of this post), and we get the entire image.

The same can be said for the dog-friendliness of Charlotte as well. At first glance, one could easily get the impression that Charlotte has some strange obsession with felines. The local NFL team? Carolina Panthers. Basketball is more your speed? Well, we have the Bobcats. Need public transportation to attend one of those games? Use CATS, Charlotte’s mass transit service. If you’re lucky, you can ride LYNX, the light rail system. I have yet to come across anything in this town named for a canine, which just seems to be more than a little lopsided.

As it turns out, though, that doesn’t mean that Charlotte is lacking in it’s love for all things dog…it just takes a little digging. Some quick research on the ‘net reveals a plethora of options. We have free off-leash dog parks. We have dog bakeries that can host birthday parties for man’s best friend. We have plenty of boutiques that can dress your dog for ANY OCCASION. We have pet photographers and artists that can immortalize your dog forever. We even have a bar that is dedicated to dogs and the people that belong to them.

Check this space often for reviews of local dog spots, dog products and services as well as upcoming dog related events. And if there’s something that you would like to see covered, just let us know!
