One thing that I enjoy about living in Key West is that it is a pretty dog friendly place, and I love bringing my dog, Indiana Bones, all over town with me. I bring him shopping, to museums, and even out to eat. I know that there are many people like me, so I thought I’d share some of these dog friendly places with my readers and fellow dog lovers.
