Time for a Pawse - Pet-Friendly Ireland, Puppies Wot Brunch

Lazy Sundays. They're probably the best day of the week. The wind down from a busy Saturday, one you promised yourself you would take easy, and the rest ahead of another hectic Monday to Friday. Sundays are sacrilege, in my week and, with it, the Sunday ritual. 

As a hobby blogger, my weekends in general have pre-planned coffee stops and writing time built in to my blackberry. How would these weekend essential work out, now had the company of a cute puppy in tow? 

Well, they work out just fine. A few tweaks and change of venue, but blogging and relaxation outdoors continues and Nacho is a bone fide puppy wot brunches at the super pet-friendly Birdcage in Belfast

Birdcage is perfectly equipped for passing pet-owners and they are onto a very good thing. Their spacious terrace is a delight in the sunshine, and has the option of outdoor heaters and snug fleecy blankets when the chill returns.

Nacho actually made his first visit here the very first day he came home to Belfast, so I guess he has a special love for it. The girls are incredible with him and always welcome him with a smile and a chat, so Birdcage quickly took top spot for the weekend brunch stop. 

No sooner has he crossed the terrace, Nacho gets presented with a bright doggy bowl of water. 

I can coffee, blog, brunch and lunch and the scrummy chicken has more than once made its way home for Nacho's evening snack!

Sunday Eggs Benni are uninterrupted. Bloody Mary emergencies are a safe bet. Afternoon mocktail and cocktail jam jar coolers are go! 

Coffee culture, weekend relaxing and a puppy - there is no need to think they can't all happen as one! 

'Til next time, Pandora (and Nacho)
