We have had the pleasure of staying at Kimpton Hotels in a few different cities, and have always been delighted with our stay.  So, when we saw this photo contest, we couldn’t resist sharing!  Take a moment, take a photo, take a chance for a night out at Kimpton!  


From their website:

“At Kimpton Hotels, we love our pet guests so much that every year we throw a contest to find the most photogenic creature out there. Here’s how it works:”



“Anyone can upload a photo from June 1 through July 31, 2013. The contest has four rounds, each lasting half the month.

** PET OF THE WEEK ** What’s black, brown and sweet all over? Give up? Me! My name is Baby, and I am a very friendly Rottweiler mix. I love other dogs, and of course I love people. I was surrendered with my sister Sadie (a dachshund) because our family was no longer able to care for us. Sadie was recently adopted, so now I need to find my forever home! I am a real gentle dog and have so much to offer. I have good manners and walk well on a leash. Please stop by and visit with me soon!

Happy National Hug Your Cat Day!

in Barks and Blooms / cat / hug / hug your cat / June 4 / National Hug Your Cat Day  by June 4, 2013




Hug Your Cat Day is one of those pleasingly straightforward holidays. Quite simply, it is a day in which cat owners everywhere are encouraged to hug their cats. The more dedicated amongst them will not need this encouragement, of course, but it is always good to be reminded of our feline friends.
The obvious downside to the day as that people without cats may be left out. This need not be the case, however – it should be straightforward enough to simply adapt it into “Hug Someone Else’s Cat Day”.
So, whether or not you are the proud housemate of a purring kitty, Hug Your Cat Day is the perfect excuse to put a bit of warmth and companionship into your life. No matter what’s going on around you, no matter how bad or troubling things get, you can always count on your furry friend to be there for you.
