Weekends in Gurgaon are so predictable with the limited outdoor options available. Specially with people living in residential apartments making a hue and cry along with the RWA, we can’t be left unleashed even if we don’t harm anyone. We are always on a lookout for places where we can go over the weekend, play and have a good time. Also if folks can chill and relax with their friends, that means we get company of some more furries that come along with them.

Café Canine, a pet friendly family café recently opened up in Gurgaon. Located at the outskirts of Gurgaon on the way to Damdama Lake, the café offers various facilities beyond just the space for us to play – right from dog grooming, small play area for kids, basic obstacles and a small café with a bookstore. It operates between 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. only on weekends (Saturday and Sunday).

After Cherry has walked into our house, it took some time to get her health back on track. Her spirits were always high and she was quite friendly with me. Though her medication is still on, she is in a much better state and one morning over the weekend, folks made an impromptu plan at 9:00 a.m. in the morning to take both of us out.

The directions are pretty clear and we did not have difficulty locating the place. The moment we entered the café and were let off our leash, it was a sight to watch Cherry run in circles covering the entire ground like a horse. It looked as though she experienced running in an open field after a long time. And then we had another furry Zeus who instantly joined the fun. On one side there is a seating area with tables and chairs where you can sit and relax, while on the other side there is a space for us to run around and also some basic obstacles to train / practice on. These sections are separated by a metallic mesh.

That’s Cherry … how much she loved chasing her favourite toys
