As the official bookstore manager, Hollie would like to personally thank this town for understanding that errands, coffee runs, boutiques, and bookstore visits are all significantly better with a pup!

Bring your pup Uptown to say Hello! Hollie the Bookstore Collie is in store most mornings ready to greet you (or bark.. she’s not perfect 😂)

The dog days of summer look pretty good around here🐾☀️

From strolling through Uptown to relaxing on a patio, and popping into pup-friendly local spots, there are plenty of ways to bring your best friend along for a day in Lexington.

*Pet policies vary by location, so be sure to check with individual businesses before you visit*

🐶 Lexington locals — where does your pup love to go? Drop your favorite dog-friendly stops in the comments!
