PetsMart’s PetsHotel gives humans plenty to be jealous about

Imagine a hotel that caters to your every need — even if your needs include frequent TLC, three daily meals the way you like them, free DVDs and a daily dose of lactose-free ice cream.The only difference is that this hotel does not cater to people, but rather to an eager clientele of four-legged friends.

Yep, that’s right. Cats and dogs are honored guests at the PetsHotel in PetsMart Fremont Hub, which opened last month. This is the 33rd PetsHotel in the nation and the first in Northern California. The hotel accommodates all “guests,” whether they are 4-pound toy poodles, 150-pound Newfoundland dogs, or reserved tuxedo cats.

One of the few national chains of its kind, PetsHotel offers to take care of your pets in an environment that mirrors the special treatment you give them at home, according to Aubrey Charland, assistant general manager of the hotel.

“Here, your pets are loved and treated just like they would be at home,” says Charland. “This is a safe and secure place where you know your pet is being cared for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Care includes an on-call veterinarian, safety-trained specialists, and a “spa” that offers cuts, shampoos and manicures.

The hotel’s cat wing features individual “kitty cottages,” complete with a hypo-allergenic sheepskin blanket, fresh litter, daily meals, and a half-hour of TLC time where your cat is petted and loved by a pet care specialist. On every condo door, a “pawgress” report can be found that states the animal’s special dietary needs or personality traits.

The dog wing of the hotel features two housing options — a dog atrium, where dogs can be linked to adjoining atriums if they are from the same family, or a swanky personal “suite” complete with a “poochy cot” and a color TV showing doggie-friendly movies such as “Milo and Otis.”
If Fido feels lonely, or misses “mommy and daddy,” he can even make a call with the “Bone Booth” speakerphone and hear their loving voices.

“Our guests love the Bone Booth,” says Charland, who helps place the calls to nostalgic owners. “The animals really recognize their parents’ voices and go crazy when they hear them.”

The PetsHotel is not limited to overnight stays by furry guests — it also offers “Day Camp” for dogs, so owners can drop off their pets for the day to mingle and make friends in a playtime setting. Playrooms are even customized for certain-sized dogs — you won’t find a Chihuahua and an akita building a friendship.

Guests are background-checked to make sure they’ve had their vaccinations, and non-neutered and unspayed animals are rarely allowed in the presence of other animals.

Flat fees are charged for overnight stays, $14 per cat and $23 per dog, but add-on package options also are available.

The “Bizzy Bundle” — which includes a lactose-free ice cream treat, a special chew toy covered in peanut butter, and dog-on-dog group playtime for $8 — has been the most popular option for your canine loved one.

So while Fido and Socks’ parents are vacationing at the Ritz-Carlton Paris, they can rest assured that their pets are being pampered at PetsHotel. The animals may not be getting champagne and caviar, but PetsHotel’s clientele will sure keep barking for the biscuits.

Passenger bites man, jumps from moving plane

An airline passenger bit a fellow traveler Monday, then jumped out of a jetliner as it was moving to take off, authorities said. He was later subdued with a stun gun.

Troy Rigby, 28, was taken to a hospital from the Fort Lauderdale airport, the Broward County sheriff’s office said. It was unclear whether he was injured.

Paul Sigler suffered minor injuries from the bite. (Watch emergency workers treat the suspected biter — 3:28)

The Continental Airlines flight had been delayed for about 30 minutes, and as the Boeing 737 began to taxi, the man started yelling to get off, the sheriff’s office said.

He ran to the front of the plane and banged on windows and the cockpit door, authorities said. As passengers and crew members tried to restrain him, he bit a passenger.

When the pilot depressurized the cabin, the man opened a door, jumped to the tarmac and ran toward the terminal. Deputies said they zapped him with a stun gun after he resisted arrest.

Rigby will be charged with criminal mischief, criminal trespass, battery, resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer, in addition to an outstanding warrant for marijuana possession, the sheriff’s office said.

The plane, set to fly from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Newark, New Jersey, was carrying 116 passengers and five crew members. It was rescheduled for later Monday, a Continental spokesman said.

Deadly Ice Cream Truck

Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed
away, Katie went straight to her grandparent’s house to
visit her 95 year-old grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her
grandmother replied, “He had a heart attack while
we were making love on Sunday morning.”

Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people
nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking
for trouble.

“Oh no, my dear,” replied granny. “Many years ago,
realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best
time to do it was when the church bells would start to
ring.

It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even.
Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out
on the Dong.

She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, “he’d
still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn’t come along

**********************************************

Forgive me for this one. I just had to put it up.

Is the mule for sale?

An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully.
From  morning till night (and sometimes later), she was always
complaining about something. The only time he got any relief was
when he was out plowing with his old mule. He tried to plow a lot.

One day, when he was out plowing, his wife brought him lunch in the
field.  He drove the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump,
and began to eat his lunch. Immediately, his wife began haranguing
him again. Complain, nag, nag; it just went on and on.

All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with
both hind feet; caught her smack in the back of the head.

Killed her dead on the spot.

At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed something
rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he
would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when
a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute,
then shake his head in disagreement. This was so consistent, the
minister decided to ask the old farmer about it.

So after the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer, and
asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but
always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.

The old farmer said: “Well, the women would come up and say
something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress
was, so I’d nod my head in agreement.”

“And what about the men?” the minister asked.

“They all wanted to know if the mule was for sale.”

Sex change saves prostitute from caning

A Thai prostitute escaped caning for drug dealing in Singapore after a doctor established that the accused, who was identified in a passport as a man, had undergone a sex change, the Straits Times reported on Friday.Singapore’s drug laws, which include the death penalty for possession of certain amounts of drugs, provide for different punishments for males and females.

While male offenders can be punished with up to 15 strokes of the rattan cane for drug-related offences, female offenders are exempt from caning.

The Straits Times said Mongkon Pusuwan’s fate had been uncertain for weeks while the court waited for a medical report, which ultimately confirmed that the 37-year-old was a woman following a sex change operation undergone 10 years ago.

The Thai national was arrested close to the city-state’s upscale Orchard Road shopping district last December and charged with trafficking 1.52 grammes of cocaine and 2.5 grammes of ketamine.

Can you beat that. What a country to live in if you’re a criminal. So 15 Strokes of cane is supposed to be punishment for such a heinous crime, Lord have mercy. What exactly is that supposed to teach you.

I know for a fact that if that was the punishment for drug trafficking in Nigeria, practically everybody would be doing it seeing as most high school kids have learnt to be impervious to caning since about age 12.

New Computers For Old Guns

Mexicans are being invited to exchange their weapons for computers under a quirky new idea to curb rampant crime in Mexico City.Authorities in one of the city’s 16 districts are offering a new computer, out of 150 donated by a charitable foundation, for each gun handed in.

“People often have a gun at home, which could perhaps be for self-defense, but sadly it becomes a family tragedy when it is not used properly ” Guadalupe Lopez, local government head for the central district of Alvaro Obregon, told Reuters.

Shootings are a daily occurrence in Mexico City, a sprawling megalopolis of 18 million people where muggings, carjackings and kidnappings are common.

The computers-for-guns program, which echoes past schemes in other city districts that offered groceries for guns, will target some of the district’s most crime-hit areas, although collectors’ items are also turning up.

“This used to be my father’s. He died and left it to us, but we don’t have any use for it,” said Emilia Reyes, arriving with her young son to drop off an old-fashioned wooden dueling pistol. “It’s better for him to have a computer in the house than a gun.”

Maybe if we try this sort of thing in the Niger-Delta, we can get Asari Dokubo and his peeps to lay down their arms, though we may just make them take up another form of terrorism – Yahoo! Yahoo!, for those that know what I mean.

OK, that was a joke, but I think it’s a laudable idea on the Mexican front, firstly because it’s actually working as people are coming forward to trade and secondly because it’ll help significantly reduce the killing sprees that have become a societal norm for them.

A great place to be a snack vendor (Sell Weed Legally)

Marijuana growers gathered in Europe’s pot-smoking capital (Amsterdam) on Sunday for a trade show that is taking on the trappings of a major industry fair, complete with scantily clad models, glossy brochures and, of course, samples. But instead of posing next to muscle cars, the models explained the intricacies of hydroponics culture such as the “iGrow-box Intensive Irrigation System” and exhibitors showed off their bongs, grinders, rolling paper, reflective film, hemp-fabric apparel and how-to marijuana growing videos.”This gives you an uplifting high, up in the mind, not in your body,” marijuana cultivator Arjan Roskam said of his latest Cannabis Cup-winning strain, “Arjan’s Haze #1.”

Roskam, who says he has hosted celebrities such as 50 Cent and Eminem in his Amsterdam coffee shops, was selling his prize-winning plant seeds for 100 euros ($121) alongside other strains such as the “Great White Shark” and “Hawaiian Snow.”

Andre Beckers, the organiser of the International Highlife Hemp Fair, said he was expecting 15,000 to 20,000 visitors at the fair, held for the first time in Amsterdam instead of Utrecht, a smaller Dutch city to the southeast of the capital.

“This is part of the normalization process,” Beckers said. “People see this as a normal fair.”

While Dutch “coffee shops” are allowed to sell small quantities of marijuana, growing and distribution of cannabis remain illegal in the Netherlands. Police were at the fair but did not appear to be taking action against the growers.

I can see cogs turning in some of your heads, anybody considering a move to Amsterdam!!!! That’d be mighty fun if you’re a weed head
