Pictographs of Painted Rocks
Box 186/On H 83
Paint Rock,
Texas 76866
325-732-4376

Thought to be anywhere from 200 to 500 years old with evidence of occupation of more than a thousand years, this unique museum and art gallery of the past features over 1,600 ancient paintings, and can be viewed from a path below. Visitors should call ahead for an appointment to make sure that someone will be there. Dogs are allowed, but they must be hound, human, and farm animal friendly. There is a short drive either with the curator or to follow in your own vehicle. They ask that pets remain in the vehicle while registering for the tour and so other animals can be put inside if necessary. Dogs must be well mannered, kept short leashed, and under their owner’s control at all times.

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

Cadillac Ranch
Old Route 66
Amarillo,
Texas

This unusual attraction pays homage to the Golden Age of the Automobile with 10 Cadillacs (ranging from a 1949 Club Coupe to a 1963 Sedan) placed nose down in a row; their once original paint jobs have long since been covered by the ongoing graffiti of local and global visitors. This has become one of the most popular roadside stops in America and your dog can visit it with you. The attraction is off Interstate 40 at Exits 60 to 62 in Amarillo.

Tumbleweed’s: Fort Worth Texas’ Only Dog-Friendly Sports Bar

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

Tumbleweed’s Sports Bar, located at the intersection of Blue Mound Road and NE Loop 820, behind Majestic Liquor, is the only entirely dog-friendly sports bar in Fort Worth. The spacious facility includes a large barroom with televisions on every wall, poolroom with six pool tables, an outdoor patio, and a backyard for the pooches.

Leashes are required inside the building, but the backyard is free reign, says owner Cat McFarland, who’s two Great Danes, Boomer and Sasha, spend their nights and weekends cozying up to the locals and catching a breeze on Tumbleweed’s patio.

“I am a dog-lover, but I’m also an extremely busy mother and entrepreneur,” McFarland says. “I just hated the thought of leaving them alone all the time. So, I did the next best thing. I created a fun environment where my dogs could be happy and where other dog lovers could come too.”

Tumbleweed’s Sports Bar first opened its doors in November 2001. Since, then it has been a staple of the Cowtown sports scene.
This authentic Fort Worth bar offers:
· Live Karaoke on Thursday Nights
· Free Food and Happy Hour Prices During all Cowboy Football Games
· Daily Drink and Shot Specials
· Service Industry Nights, Sunday thru Tuesday, with Happy Hour Prices and Free Pool
· Pool and Dart League Nights with Drink Specials
· Happy Hour, Open to 7 pm, Seven Days a Week

Tumbleweed’s Sports Bar is open from 1 pm – 2 am, Monday thru Friday and noon to 2 am on weekends.
