I bought a puppy! Not just any puppy. I did my research, months upon months of looking and pondering and thinking, What would be the best dog suited to my urban lifestyle? I would walk down the street doing re-con type missions and seeing what other dogs people had. One guy had a great dane, a horse basically, and all I kept visualizing is coming home to my 1 bedroom apartment and seeing the utter destruction afflicted by that enormous dog. I saw a girl with a Chihuahua. Not sure why it yaps and shakes all the time, but probably not the manliest dog for me. I settled on a French Bulldog.
From what I've read, they are used to small apartments being from France and all, low maintenance and basically lazy. Now that's my type of dog. I can go to work, travel and still have a life. But what they didn't tell me was the constant crying, shitting and peeing I am now enduring on a constant basis. I call it the trifecta of doom. Then my breeder dropped a bomb-shell on my nomadic world. Stinky, my dogs new name, cant leave the apartment for another 3 weeks until she's had her last Parvo shots. 3 weeks!?! Holy Mackeral, 3 weeks of crying, shitting and peeing. I need a drink.
I got to thinking, are there bars and restaurants or cool shops in Downtown San Diego that are Stinky friendly? A place I can go just hang out and spend quality time with my pet without sitting on the couch all day? Here's what I found:
East Village Tavern & Bowl 930 Market Street & 9th, East Village District 100 foot long patio, come enjoy your favorite drink or game with your pet

Looking for something new to do with your free time?? How about "Disc Golf" at Morley Field in San Diego?
Disc Golf has been played at Morley Field since 1978 when Snapper Pierson first established the course. Snapper is "Course Pro" and "Disc Golf Hall of Fame" member and he made Morley Field one of the original Disc Golf courses in the world.
There is plenty of parking coming up the hill from Downtown San Diego right off Pershing Drive, but for the busy day, park behind the course instead. Just continue Pershing Drive and take the first and second left. As you enter the course you can see the "Morley Field Pro Shop" where you pay the course fee, rent discs, get a snack and grab a score card.
Morley Field is open for the public from dusk to dawn all year around except for the Southwestern Disc Golf Team Tournament held in the beginning of December and the Spring Fling held in May. Weekdays cost $2,50 for the whole day to play and on weekends and holidays $3.
There are 19 holes to be played with usual par 3. Pin positions change each Monday and there are 3 to 6 positions for each hole. There's a lot of locals and experienced disc golfers there all the time and they are all more than happy to give you a helping hand with finding your next t-pad or if you have any questions in regards on how the game works.
To find out more information about tournaments, monthly's, doubles play and much more please visit Morley Field.

The proposal was rejected on September 15th, 2009 after a 5-2 vote. The San Diego City Council has encouraged San Diego City staff to give alternative places that might be more suitable and located outside Downtown San Diego by early next month.
The winter shelter was supposed to be located around Island Avenue, J Street and 15th Street. Please visit "East Village" to see a map of the area.
The East Village District has hosted the winter shelter the last two years and Councilman Kevin Faulconer, who represents Downtown said, "It's unfair to keep burdening Downtown year after year with the shelter, especially when homelessness is a regional issue. There are other parts of the City that do need to help. This is a Citywide issue."
