    Bed and Barkfest?

    Neat idea, kudos to both the hotel and the shelter!

    Hotel Hopes Guests Head Home With a Rescue Dog
    LOS ANGELES — Dec 31, 2014, 10:41 AM ET

    At this hotel, guests get welcomed with a wagging tail or a warm lick to the face.

    A dog will bound out from behind the registration desk, clad in an "Adopt Me" vest, as visitors arrive at the Aloft hotel in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, believed to be the only hotel in the U.S. where guests can adopt the dog that greets them when they check in.

    But the hotel doesn't overwhelm road-weary travelers to this mountain tourist mecca, where people come to tour the nation's largest home, the Biltmore estate; cast a fly-fishing rod; or hoist a beer in what has been dubbed "Beer City USA." There's only one adoptable dog at a time, and it's always on a leash.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    What a grand idea! Maybe a desk kitty with an adopt me sign on his or her basket would work, too!

    THAT is awesome!! I am going to mention this at my shelter and see if anyone would be willing to see if this would work in our town.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
