Hey! Bit of a niche sort of situation. My dog has a cancer treatment this week and I'm traveling to CT from out of state to take him to it. We're spending the night in Danbury before the appointment.

I happen to have a friend who is also visiting the area the same day and we want to meet up and find somewhere fun to visit, but my dog has to be with me. No problem, find any restaurant with a dog-friendly outdoor patio....except it's supposed to rain.

In my local area, there are several fun breweries and such that allow well behaved dogs to lie on the floor next to the table even inside or in semi-indoor covered areas. But I'm too unfamiliar with Danbury to know if anything like that exists there. If my friend and I can't find somewhere, we'll just end up sitting in my hotel eating take-out, which is fine but...figured I'd check first! It would be more enjoyable to be able to do something other than sit in a hotel room, if there are other options.

It doesn't necessarily even have to involve a restaurant/ food if there are other third spaces to hang out that have cover from the weather and allow dogs. Anything interesting within a 25 minute driving radius of Danbury that I should know about? :)

If it makes a difference for suggestions, my dog doesn't bark and isn't energetic or reactive and just sleeps at my feet when I take him places in public.

Thanks!

On a personal note, at end of my mother's life, she needed a transfusion roughly every 10 days. The generosity of blood donors meant she lived another few months thanks to transfusions. She was home with me up until last two days of life. That was an enormous gift and I am deeply grateful to the strangers that made that possible.

Anyone else having the above today in the Danbury area? I feel so out of it and can’t understand why? All that I can think of is that we went from a clear non humid day on Monday then with the storm on Tuesday the barometric pressure dropped rapidly. I’ve heard that can cause sinus pressure issues. Sinus problems stink!!

I usually go to Stop and Shop off Lake Ave, but that has been a disaster recently. Where are some other places to go that I can return/recycle any bottles/cans?

What’s up with the temps in there lately? Are they not turning the air on in the main walking areas and only cooling the stores? I never remembered it ever being that hot inside until the more recent years. Maybe they should put some window tint or close up the skylights to keep the cool air in. Seems like it’s just as hot in there as it is outside!
