My alternate title for this was “a dog walks into an avocado farm…” but you can’t really pass up “pet stop” when it presents itself.

I love when businesses, whether they sell cars, clothes, or avocados, make pets feel welcome. That’s extra true when that business is at the end of a windy, 17-mile drive and my dog could stand to empty. I appreciate a water bowl or treats behind the counter, but this goes above and beyond: fire hydrant, wood chips, dirt, rock, and a cute label. Here’s Gida enjoying the offerings.

Good job, Morro Creek Ranch in Morro Bay, CA. Beautiful ‘cados, by the way.
