If you're like me, a 100% dog person, you're always looking for a place to take your fur babies to enjoy being out of the house and socialize. Plus, who doesn't love seeing their jowls flapping in the wind hanging out the car window (so funny!)?  So fellow dog owners, have you heard about Bar K? It's a bar that welcomes you and your canine companions. It's north of the River Market area and offers lots of options & fun. They have food and booze for you including a juice bar, coffee shop, and a casual dining menu. They have an off leash park for your pups to play with their friends. And feel free to leave your baby with their trained staff members while you socialize with your human friends. They also offer conference room space for events & meetings, and have entertainment, pet adoption, and educational activities on their stage year round. Plus they have training, grooming, and even a shop! Check out Bar K for yourself:  https://www.barkdogbar.com/

While some DIY projects seem like they should be left for the pros, painting doesn’t have to be one of them. Basic painting seems easy enough, but sometimes we run into those hard-to-paint areas and regret not hiring a professional. Instead of hanging up the towel, try out these tricks for those spots and see if you can finish your project all on your own (and save some money in the process!) Painting Window Trim Painting the wood diving panes and sashes on windows can seem daunting at first. Most people think that lining your windows with painters tape will help, but that is usually just a waste of time. Instead, just paint away!
