Tailwaggers Country Inn

I got the privilege to take off of work today and go with Ella {Owen went too} on her field trip to Tailwaggers.

  Tailwaggers is a animal hotel/daycare/salon & spa.

  The kids had so much fun meeting and greeting some of the animals there.

This is such a fun and neat place.

People can board their animals here while on vacation.

They have VIP suites that cost &40-&65/night and the owner of the pet can watch their 4 legged child from a video camera in the suite. Ha!

They drive to the Dallas area on Tuesdays & Thursdays to pick up and drop off animals {mostly dogs} for day care, for $40/day.

85% of their business is from the Dallas area.  Tailwaggers in located in Van Alstyne.

I was very impressed AND blown away what people do for their pets.

Thursday {3/17/11}, St.Patrick's Day was my 34th birthday.

  I met a friend for a manicure & pedicure, then she took the kids to her house.

Thank you SO much Karla for keeping the kids…they had a BLAST at your house and with your boys!!!

  Chris & I got to eat dinner alone and do a little shopping.

  We had a great time together.

Friday we went to my moms, we ate tacos from Taco Casa {my fav!}.

We ate yummy cake and ice cream too.

My sweet, sweet baby boy--

I can’t believe you are 1 and a half today…in just 6 short months you will be 2 YEARS OLD!!!!!

Your cute personality has blossomed SO much in the past 6 months.

You have began to give the most sweet, slobbery kisses EVER!

You are still pretty much a “Momma’s Boy”.

You would allow me to carry you all day every day if I would, but you sure are getting heavy. ha!

Your words consist of:

Daddy & Hi…are you ever going to say Momma????or anything else?

We have been learning body parts, you know where your nose and eyes are.

You think it is hilarious when I take off my glasses and show you my eyes…then of course you have to put my glasses on.

You are part monkey, you climb on EVERYTHING!!!!  This makes me a nervous wreck!

You LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Mickey Mouse!!!

You also LOVE any kind of animal, when you see them (on TV or anywhere else) your sweet face lights up and you start “talking”.

You are SO much fun and such a blessing to our family.

I’m so proud to be your Mommy.

Smile

I love you more and more each day!

Love,

Mommy
