We went to a place in Black Rock we get to visit now that we live near it again . Part of its appeal to us is the owners ' golden retriever who not only shares the name of the bar , but also gets to wander around freely . Normally Baxter does n't spoend more than five seconds with any patron , but somehow he must have sensed that karenfodder was n't having the best day , because he stood next to her and let her pet him for a full ten minutes .
