Today Charlie had his first lunch outing.
Portland is one of those great dog-friendly places where dogs are allowed at some restaurants' outdoor patios.
We happen to live near one such brewpub, and today was "not-too-cold, not-too-hot, just right" in temperature, so off we went.

Charlie was interested in everything (except his water bowl) and very well behaved. He growled a little bit when he saw a pug at a nearby table, but who wouldn't?
"That's a real good pickle! Mmmmm...."

After lunch, we walked home together.
At this rate, he'll be ready for
The Lucky Lab, whose patio is
filled with other dogs, real soon!
