Mickey's Celebration Lunch

Those who have been following the Dime Store Novel blog  or @RagabashGirl on Twitter know that one of our dogs, Mickey, has been fighting lymphoma.  Today Mickey celebrated his 2nd cancer-free month. He went to the local vet for his monthly check-up and bloodwork. We decided to treat him to lunch at Famiglia's, a Farmington restaurant that has outdoor seating and welcomes canine guests. It was a beautiful day for lunch al fresco.

Steve made Mickey some fettucini with a little hamburger. Mickey sat on my lap and slurped it down. He even shared a bit of our spinach-artichoke dip with crostini.
As you can see, Mickey enjoyed it immensely. 

Of course, we enjoyed our lunch too. John had the Italian Truffle Ravioli, a new item on the menu, and I had today's special -- a grilled chicken sandwich with carmelized onions, bacon, and smoked gouda. It was tasty. We are thankful for each day of Mickey's remission. Read what other pals and people are thankful for. What are you thankful for this week? Join the Thankful Thursday blog hop.
