Sleeping in the dog house …

 

Nestled quietly in a town called Cottonwood, Idaho there stands a larger than life, cabin sized Beagle. Yes, a Beagle and not just any beagle, but one that represents the owners love for carved statues. First, there is Toby; the 12 foot beagle statue carved by owners and artists Dennis Sullivan and Frances Conklin. Then there is Sweet Willy; the actual sleeping/cabin structure. 

Sullivan and Conklin have been carving dog themed statues for years, but it wasn’t until 1995 when their products became widely known and thus the Dog Bark Park Inn became a reality. You can purchase their beloved carvings in their gift shop. They have Doxies to Dalmatians. Specifically for us, little dog lovers, there are poodles, pugs, Papillion’s, Yorkie’s and more. Small sized seem to run around $49.00. 

How much does it cost to stay in a novelty B&B? Only $96 per night, which includes breakfast. Beyond the bed, they boast a delightful breakfast sure to make any pup drool. Including delights like home-baked pastries, fruit, cheeses, yogurts, bagels and more. 

So can you and your furry friend stay together at the Dog Bark Park Inn? Absolutely, for an additional $10, responsible pups and their parents are welcome to enjoy the amenities and novelty together. 

Happy vacation planning!

Wet Nose Nuptials

 

With three little fur-babies on the social scene as well as owning a little pup business and coordinating a meetup group for little fur-babies;  I’ve attended a variety of fancy dog events. This one, however, was both unique and so much fun! The wedding of all weddings for two super cute tiny yorkie’s. Coordinated by City Dog Magazines and located at Seattle’s W Hotel; this ceremonial occasion was kicked off with puppetizers and social time while the bride, Peanut & groom, Moe prepared their personalized nuptials. 

 

Dogs getting married is not really new, but it is different. The California scene has had a few years on us, but what we lack in numbers we make up for in style. 

 

Dog weddings have been on the rise since 2006, when doggie fashion boutiques started to stake their claim into daily fashion and brick-and-mortar locations showed up in Kirkland, Bellevue and Seattle. 

 

If your little fur-baby falls in love this Valenpaw’s Day then you have a lot of options available to prepare and present a fabulous soiree.

 

Planning Pup Nuptials are similar to that of a human wedding. You’ll need all the basics plus a few treats to keep everyone festive. The following sorted out to ensure comfort and fun for the big day.
