Berkeley, CA- My dog and I, an afternoon near Shattuck and Vine

My dog and I have spent a few hours this afternoon at the Shattuck and Vine area of Berkeley.  We started out at Holistic Hound on Walnut Street to pick up some food and treats for my dog.  Then, we had lunch outside of Juice Bar Collective right around the corner on Vine street for some yummy polenta pizza and homemade ginger soda.   I would also like to try La Fable sometime, which has plenty of outside tables.   Next, we'll drive to the Ohlone Park East dog park on Hearst Avenue.  I've been to that dog park and it is clean and both the dogs and people have been really friendly to us in the past.  Plus, it is a fenced in area so it feels really safe.  What a great summer afternoon!  Everyone has been really friendly to us this afternoon, and many people have asked, "Can I pet your dog?"  People in Berkeley love dogs!  Next time I want to take the historical walking tour of the area (website listed below.)
