A Little Brown Dog Goes to Belfast

I had a big day yesterday. I walked and ate so much so I was still tired this morning. Daddy did a bunch of work early so I snuggled in bed with Mommy until he was ready to go an adventure with us. Mommy wanted to go to Belfast to buy some vegetables at Chase’s Daily for her lunch party on Friday. We go long ways for good vegetables in Maine.

Daddy had never been to Chase’s and Mommy said we could eat lunch outside so I knew I was going to get to go. Chase’s farm is in Freedom, Maine and they grow all kinds of extraordinary vegetables. Mommy wanted some of their mesclun mix that she had with Aunt Suzanne at Leeward in Portland.

There were many, many people shopping for vegetables at the same time as Mommy so Daddy and I just sat at a table outside. Mommy bought baby artichokes, carrots, onions, fennel along with the greens. Then she ordered us lunch.

It didn’t take long to come, and the waitress could not believe I was sleeping with my head on the table and the food right in front of me. Apparently most dogs are interested in food, but I am not most dogs.

Mommy thought the tomato sandwich was the best thing. Of course Daddy liked everything. We did not hang out in Belfast long as Daddy had to get back and work, but it was a beautiful day for a drive and I liked looking out the window from my little car seat.

Mommy made the baby artichokes with Burrata for dinner. Nobody gave me any of them. I don’t know about artichokes, but I do know about burrata.

Maybe tomorrow I will want to take a long walk again. Tonight I just want to snuggle. And I would have wanted to eat burrata.
