Hey Cats,

Everybody survive the festive season?  We managed a spritely whitely one here at the Hotel.

First off you'll want to watch this riveting video as to how we roll at the Hotel. Make it big, turn up the volume.

Benito and Beatrice are like the Walmart welcoming party for newcomers to the Hotel.

Thinking there might be free samples, Tara is trying to act like a newcomer.

Today's theme is snow-staches.  Bella has started the contest.

Berger is going for a tiny one.

Bailee is trying out the demi-stache.

Maya is onto the flavored 'stache.

bailee evening things out a bit.

Burton far ahead of the crowd noting that a snot-stache will far outlast a snow-stache.

Maya is working on a little chemistry assignment involving a warm name tag and a cold snow.

Tara ducking under Bella's tail.

Diesel doing the rounds.

Seppen after miscalculating her liquor tolerance at the Pet Hotel Christmas Party.

Chinook and Macci high-tailing it.

Karma and her late entry for the 'stache competition.

Widow, tentatively wondering why the ground is so cold.

Callie sidestepping away from Bella.

Lucy walking instead of running--a rare thing indeed.

Woodrow and Brodie.  Woodrow wasn't interested in the 'stache competition.

Taunty is of the mind that snow is nothing but a nuisance.

Now we're talking.

Bailey and Taunty

Andrew and Isabella plan their move to take out Seppen.

Riley sporting a 'stache while his girl Cooper forages for something to ward off a slight feeling of peckishness.

"Did you say peckish?," Sammy seems to be saying, albeit with one eye closed.

Jetta and Diesel.  Jetta comes with Zinny who, without the use of a leg-hold trap, remains slightly disinterested in being photographed.  We'll get there just maybe in the next blog.  Jetta is practicing a runway kind of thing here(I'm too sexy for my tail) while Diesel aspires to model jeans for Sears or a hat for Tilley.

Bean, as in, the legume.

And finally, this is the hole left after a well meaning Husky ragdolls the staff photographer and hucks him through a snowy overhang.  If only there was danger pay.

That's it for now cats.  Tune in soon for as we bring in the New Year Pet Hotel Style.

Miao Baby,

Hey Cats,

In my ongoing quest to do something that goes "viral" I present to you my alternative to "The Shaw Cable Fire Log Channel."  I figure it contains all the necessary ingredients to become viral.  It is self-absorbed, really not that funny, and features a cat.  This should be enough to make me famous no?  Don't forget to make it big and put it on repeat.

Might want to just put this on repeat while you peruse this week's photos....or not.

This Ty demonstrating why they call them, `water dogs.`

Ditto that for drake here.

True that for Burton.

Here`s the view this time of year.

Stella figuring the picnic table is the best place to start if one is looking for table scraps.  

This is Berger.  Berger is big on the sticks.

See.

There is about 1000 of these.

Chloe pausing for just a minute to try and look like an actual Chocolate lab instead of a space creature.  That`s Zoe looking on.  

Here`s the space creature thing as she considers a swim. That`s Cody heading the other way and one of the black ones further off.

And she`s off.

This is Toby with his ears on.

This is Chloe and Bella acting as if they don`t spend the entire time trying to kill each other.  `Course it wouldn`t do to show a picture of them killing each other now would it?

Callie happier than, how's that go?  A pig in something.

Eating snow before the yellow snow warning goes out.

It's catchy that.

So is rubbing up against it.

This is Rocky.  

This is Bella declaring to Rocky that he is her newest best friend.  Rocky is not yet aware what this really involves.

Monty  on patrol.  That's right not petrol but patrol.

Steve is growing.

This is Bubba.  He is in the Pet Hotel Production of "The Way of the Yogi."  He stars as Bubba Hari Das.

Bella will not be performing in the play.

That's it for this week,

Until next time,

Miao Baby
