“If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany’s, then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name,” says Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. And yet nothing in the window at Tiffany’s is nearly as satisfying as a gaggle of pugs wiggling their little butts and smashed-in faces at you. Most of the doggies in the window at the Downtown Dog Lounge are wee, funny looking, and always ecstatic for an audience. When I get the “mean reds,” I treat it with lots and lots of puppies. I’m not the only one; the Belltown staff says window-gawking is common and the little nippers love it. Add a doughnut and a tall drip from Top Pot, and you’ve just saved $145 on a trip to the shrink’s couch. If I could find anything in the world that makes me feel like a pen full of puppies and a maple bar, well, I’d probably sell all my furniture, mainline it, and forget my name.—Maggie Dutton Downtown Dog Lounge, 305 Bell St., 441-6160; Top Pot, 2124 Fifth Ave., 728-1966, www.toppotdoughnuts.com.
