Hey Cat's I have been getting a few inquiries from new customers if they could get an idea of what we do here at the hotel, so here's a bit of footage from the Ruth-Cam showing how we roll here.

And moving right along out of the snow.....

This here's Kokanee.  Like the beer eh?

Beer?

This is Brody.  He arrived with one of those bandannas they put on you when you come home from the groomers.

Then he ran into Mya.

Monkey see monkey do.

10 minutes later

See cats are civilized.  Your average cat spends most of its waking hours cleaning itself.  A dog on the other hand....

This is Bodi.  Bodi is smiling because the sun is finally out so why wouldn't you?

This here's Jack.  He was clean once.

Callie on patrol.

She's currently involved in some very serious covert ops so...shhhhhhhh.

In the foreground just out of view is a stick that Hunter(about 9" to the shoulder)has  just begun to suspect is the prime target of Callie's investigation.  You might call it a bit of fixation.  Dogs are like that.

Callie thinks he's ridiculous.

This is Sky.  You can tell 'cause it says so on that tag there on her collar. She looks as if she has just heard news of an upcoming rectal examination.

This is Molly.  She's just little

  She looks like a seal.  I know a joke about a seal but it isn't very appropriate for this blog.  In the background is Hugo-Weimaraner and resident foghorn.

But really, she is a dog.

This here's Freddy.

This is Milo, who looks a lot like Freddy without the white.

See?

Somewhere, maybe two inches, maybe two feet, below that leaf is something disgusting.  Delilah and Milo mean to get to the bottom of it.

And lastly just a little stroll down the catwalk.

Alright cats.  Oh yeah, just one more thing.  I have caved into the social pressure and started up a Facebook page for Ruth's Pet Hotel.  There is barely anything there right now but I would appreciate you heading over there and "Liking" me because that's just the kind of insecure cat I am.  It's a bit like multi-level marketing that Facebook.  http://www.facebook.com/RuthsPetHotel  I promise I won't post any pictures of cute cats playing with balls of string or anything and you promise you won't tag me in any compromising photos.

Ciao,

Gary

Hey Cats,

Introducing the Jil-Cam.  That's right, our dog Jil outfitted with a camera to provide you with an action filled example of the Pet Hotel actioni.  I recommend taking a few Gravol if you intend on watching the entire show.

Stay tuned for more fun filled Jil Cam Action.  Also there is the Delilah Cam:

This one is definitely not for the weak of stomach.

Anyway if you are not seasick by now here are some still photos as we roll into spring:

This'll be Bijoux warming up after a day in the cold.

See.

She may be little, but so far has yet to acknowledge this possibility.

This is Rudi

This Rudi saying hello to Sky

That was pretty scary eh Sky?

Rudi and Whiskey.  Whiskey's ears indicate a strong westerly wind.

Delilah concurs. 

Frankie doesn't know what we are talking about.

Keb here's a search and rescue dog.  Not sure what he's looking for right now-probably a sandwich.  

Here's the thing about dogs.  See what's going on here?  Sky and Whiskey are thinking about killing each other over the ownership of this patch of snow-like there's a shortage or something.

Whiskey seems to say, "Yes it is slightly ridiculous."

But, then again, Whiskey is slightly ridiculous.

And seemingly overnight the mud arrives.

Some have a tactile approach to the whole thing.

Others consider lessening the contact with all things wet.

See

This is what it looks like close up.

Zeus, demonstrating the international, "Let's give'r" pose.

Freddy thinks it is a little early for "bug" season.

Next taker.

Thinking this looks like a lot of work, Buddy exits stage left.

Beatrice, on the other hand is right in there.

That's my dog Jil.  She thinks sticks are dumb.  Then again, she hates most everything.

Well that's it for now,

Ciao,

Gary
