Local Resort and Spas

If
you read
my blog

or if you scoot back a few blogs ago

you can
read about
and
the
most
amazing
experience
I
had
with
and my first
facial.
(my face is still as smooth as a baby's behind)
To be
pampered
is
the
B E S T



In all fairness
I
must
recommend
another
very
special
"pampering"

that we
indulged
in
for our
three besties
IMG_0030
a quite
inexpensive
indulgence,
really..



John and I
thought
that
we should treat
our
favorite little dogs
to
A Spa Weekend
(so we could
take
a weekend
off and
head to Napa
and
not worry about
them)






IMG_0525
is
Doggie Heaven
IMG_0513
It
is
located
in
Edna Valley

yes,

the
Wine Appellation

EDNA VALLEY

We checked in
Huck, Nottie and Phinn
Friday morning
(with their beds, food and chewies)

You can
see
the so cute
little cottages
..
("Boarding" means "hotel guests")

Huckleberry was ready!
Phinn
close behind.
Nottie
had
"SPA" already
on her mind
and was on her way

Spa
options
are
so great
at
Thousand Hills Pet Resort
One
can choose
a
play day
or
spa day
a weekend stay
a week stay
or
just

a few hours
to
play
and
catch some
needed
Vitamin D

Off
on
Spa leases
and collars
we
bid
adieu
to our little friends
IMG_0515

and off they went
to thie
little
Spa cottage
IMG_0518

On the way out
I snapped
a few
pictures
of the charming
surroundings
of this
wonderful Canine Retreat
(birdies were obviously welcome, too)
IMG_0519

The fresh air
and countryside
was
breathtaking!

Two days later
we
arrived
back to
Thousand Hills Pet Resort

and found
Nottie
coiffed
(and happy)
IMG_0569


Huckleberry
so
confident,
clean
and groomed
IMG_0568

And
Phinn
perfectly content
clean
and happy to
be going home
IMG_0571
We
were
thrilled
to have
this
option
for
our dogs.
They came
home
beautifully groomed
happy
and
tired.
The staff
were
all
so accomodating
and
they obviously
LOVE
dogs.

The perfect
SPA
and
"doggie- sitting"
retreat
for
your
canine
BFFs


Friday in Morro Bay.

Friday

in the Central Coast.



You

must

zip over

to Morro Bay...

often

foggy

sometimes breezy,

salty

but

ALWAYS

boasting

Fresh Fish..

I

read

on

Facebook

that

Giovanni's Fish Market

had

Sea Bass

I mean

FRESH

Sea Bass


right off

the boat

IMG_0508
Not much better
than
fresh Sea Bass
IMG_0506
first
though,
we
snacked
on
delicious
fish tacos
IMG_0509

We
bought
a
pound
of
Sea Bass
For dinner:


We
sauteed
sliced leeks
sliced carrots
sliced celery
in lemon olive oil
until soft

added
the
fresh Sea Bass
seasoned
the whole happy group
with
Old Bay Seasoning_

a splash of
dry white wine

popped the
top on the pan
...
12 minutes
Oh, Baby!
delicious...


All you hungry children, come and eat it up!


next time more pictures....
