We have been working hard at MARtian headquarters bringing you Emmy-quality programming and great design. If you did not already hear – “Life on Mar’s: The Home Makeover Show” has been nominated for two Emmy’s!
So, today, with the sun shining, the dogs barking and with Emmy-nomination high spirits, it was time for Team Mar to take a bark – er, break – and get a treat. We piled into the car, pooches and people alike, and drove on down to Shake Shack.
With the pups perched around the patio table, the humans pondered the delicious menu possibilities. Violet and Ivy, the furry, four-legged folk, checked out the special dog menu. Within minutes of arriving, two big bowls of fresh water and bakery-made dog biscuits were hand-delivered to the table. We did not even have to ask! Soon our four-legged friends were indulging in Shake Shack’s Pooch-ini, a cool concoction of vanilla frozen custard, peanut butter sauce, and baked dog cookies. (To say they were a hit is an understatement, as the photo attests!)
