Waiter, I'll have what that beagle's having.

That's right, California: You may soon be dining out with more doggies than you can shake a tail at.

Gov. Jerry Brown -- owner of Sutter, California's "first dog" and an adorable Welsh corgi to boot -- has signed into law a bill making it perfectly legal to bring your dog out to dinner with you. (No word yet on whether the governor and Sutter are planning a night out to celebrate.)

Here's the fine print: the dog must remain in an outdoor-dining section, be on a leash, behave, and not be in the same area where food is being prepared.

(Yeah, right. As if some dog's gonna want to be in a place where food's being prepared.)

"I wish everyone 'bone-appetit,'" Mariko Yamada, D-Davis, the Assembly member who championed the bill, said in a statement. On her Facebook page, the lawmaker added: "Amidst all the horrific and depressing news around us, I hope this bill helps make people a little happier, and businesses who wish to accommodate diners with dogs safe from being unnecessarily cited."

The law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, should provide some relief to dog lovers statewide, including owners who've been bringing their pets to restaurants for years and patrons who, in the eyes of the law, have been illegally allowing it.

"Hmm," said David Wiesner, chef/owner of Siena Bistro in Willow Glen, who for years has had a very pro-pooch patio policy on Thursday nights. "The law going into effect in January is the law that I thought was already in effect. This won't get me into trouble, will it?"

Wiesner has plenty of company among Californians long under the impression that dining in public with Fido was perfectly kosher. Until recently, according to an employee, the pet-crazy Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in Concord would allow mutts at mealtime until some heartless anti-dog diners complained.

New law allows dogs to dine on restaurant patios

Fido can feast with you now when you go out to eat in California.

Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday said he signed a bill permitting petdogsat restaurants with outdoor spaces. It doesn't force restaurants to allowdogs, but rather implements guidelines for how they can accommodate pets.

Some local public health departments have alloweddogsin outdoor dining areas for years, but the state has banned the practice. Local jurisdictions can still ban it if they choose.

The bill requires a separate entrance for outdoor dining areas and says pets aren't allowed on chairs, seats or benches. They must be on a leash or in a pet carrier under control of the owner and owners have to clean up after them.

The law takes effect next year.

Poll: Should dogs be allowed on patios?

Should dogs be allowed on patios? California says yes

Dog-lovers across the state won a victory, or something, this week when Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a bill that permits dogs in outdoor seating areas at restaurants so long as the outdoor area has its own separate entrance and so long as Mr. Snuffles does not actually dine across from you in a seat.

The law, which takes effect next year, codifies local ordinances that already allowed the bringing of dogs onto restaurant patios in various locales, but still allows locales and restaurants to forbid dog dining if they choose, as the AP reports.

This began as Assembly Bill 1965, sponsored by Assemblymember Mariko Yamadas (D-Davis), and Yamada issued an appropriately goofy statement following the governor's signature on Thursday. "It will soon be legal to take your beagle with you to dinner, she said. With Governor Browns signature, restaurateurs in California will see more businesses catering to their customers and the canine companions they love. I wish everyone bone-apptit."

The law also doesn't pertain to service animals, which are already technically allowed in restaurants.

Dog lovers in most of L.A. County should expect no changes to their favorite dog-friendly eateries. That's because in 2012, L.A. County made a similar policy changethough that change did not apply to Long Beach, Pasadena or Vernon.

California Says Yes To Dogs On Restaurant Patios

Doors were removed from the rooms former closet, far right, so that a custom shelving unit could be installed inside the space. The new shelves sit upon the base of a china cabinet, which was painted to match. A dining room table was repurposed into use as a cutting table in front of the window. Woven baskets and wooden boxes fill the closet unit and the freestanding shelving, at left, to organize and hide clutter.

Drawers of the former china cabinet base, now the bottom of a built-in storage unit, hold thread, scissors and other sewing notions.

For six years, Vickie Mason used a small guest bedroom in her Ringgold, Ga., home as her sewing room. But with the only storage space being a closet with one hanging rod, the avid quilter and seamstress says growing piles of fabrics, patterns and other sewing notions began to turn her work area into "a stacked mess."

So she led interior decorator Margie Burgin into the room and commissioned a makeover.

"This looks like a mess," Mason told her friend. "I want organization. I want a cute place to sew."

When not working at NHC Healthcare in Fort Oglethorpe, where she is a physical therapist, Mason spends anywhere from four to 12 hours a week sewing or quilting. She began sewing in junior high school and has been quilting for 15 years.

"I made all my own clothes, made all my children's clothes until they reached the age they didn't want to wear clothes their mom made anymore. Then I started quilting, but I've started making clothes for girls again since my grandchildren were born," she says.

With the focus of the makeover to increase storage and organize the craft room, Burgin began the redesign by installing two built-in shelving units. By rearranging and repurposing furniture, she also opened up floor space so the 10- by 11-foot room feels more spacious and open.

Here's the pattern for this sewing room makeover. Their ideas could easily be replicated in any craft room.

First, Mason and Burgin kept the room's original khaki-colored walls and taupe carpeting. Not only was the wall color easy on the eyes for any length of time, the neutral shade didn't clash with the myriad colors of fabrics Mason used in her hobby. To further enhance the khaki color, the pair mounted one of Mason's large quilts in earth tones as a wall hanging.
