Facials, flat-screens and turn-down service
Shh. Don't tell your doggies and kitties, but what's being billed as a "pet resort" opens tomorrow (June 23) on the Eastern Shore.
With doggy day camp, a spa, limo service, flat-screen TVs, and a pet bistro, they might not want to come home.
Maryland Shore Pet Resort is located just off Route 50 in Vienna, Md., on more than 440 acres of property. It's owned by Eastern Shore residents Theresa and Frank Durham. Frank Durham is a dog trainer and breeder who runs the retriever training business Walker Branch Retrievers.
The resort can accommodate 160 dogs and 30 cats. It offers grooming, training, overnight stays, doggy day camp and fitness classes.
The resort offers "luxury suites," where family pets can get together and watch movies on flat-screen TVs while snuggling in lambswool blankets that are laundered daily. For extra pampering, people can upgrade their dogs or cats to "premium" beds, choose specially prepared meals at the Best-Friend Bistro.
Then, there's afternoon “Yappy-hour” and “Meowy-hour” where all of the guests nibble on “happy-tizer” treats made on-site at the “Pure Bred Bakery." They can exercise it all off swimming in the heated pool or hiking along a wooded trail.
If the furry ones are a little tuckered out from all that, perhaps a bit sore, there's the spa, with full body rub-downs, aqua therapy in a warm whirlpool with pulsating
jets, and, of course blueberry facials and paw cream applications.
At night, the pet can get a tuck-in, with a healthy treat and a bedtime story.

Sorry, this is probably an incredibly stupid question, but is this just for animals, or is it supposed to be for the animal along with it's owner/parents?
