Here doggie doggie doggie....

Um, well, actually, NOT here Doggie. We are currently a NO PET property, I have one room with wood floors that we may designate. Its such an issue with allergies, fleas, etc. Last night was our busiest night yet! Lots of walk ins, actually kept the office open till close to 11 to accommodate those inn walkers (get it;)? Just before 10, checked in a nice fellow from Santee, I mentioned that my gramma lived in Santee, we chatted briefly, I made sure to point out that our rooms are non smoking, had him sign the cc slip and wished him pleasant dreams.

Smash cut- 3:30 am, pounding on the office door, for about 10 minutes....really...do you do this at Macy's, Target...any other business? Lights off, no one home (that you know of) so why are you pounding on the door? Keep in mind, this wasn't a current guest, was someone hoping to get a room...clearly we need one of those "we'll be back at x o'clock" signs!

10:15, maid scurries over to my door, "Pero, pero, barking, room 'tree'..." = barking dog in room three...yes, and it sounds like a big one, rather than a harmless yapping purse puppie.... called the owner, wrong number on file...nice...of course the INN owner was on site today and eager to remove Fido, suggested Animal Control (got some interesting information when I called there....) finally got the nerve (with the help and suggestion of the owners daughter) to go in the room and check Fido's tag, turned out, her name was Josie and she was a very sweet and very gorgeous Weimereiner....who had scratched all of the paint off the interior of our newly painted doors...Called the owner, and told him we had discovered the dog, he wasn't surprised, as he wasn't trying to hide her, he didn't realize that we were a no pet property and was very apologetic. His evening cost him a $150 pet fee, $100 in damage and $65 for the night, which he had already paid for- but couldn't stay...oh, my....had only $120 in cash, had to leave me some gi-normous tool for collateral....wow....!

Did I mention Adult movie guy a few days ago? I think I did...I won't repeat...
Relieved to hear that our new paint colors will be quite nice, chocolate brown overhang, tan/mocha exterior with the turquoise doors and turquoise entry steps....CUTE!

11 rooms are ready to rent, 7 rented now, will possibly book a few more tonight! Its also official that Tim and I are cooking a turkey on Thanksgiving- we are sequestered to home....sooooo, the good news, mommie will be joining us :)- yay!

We have a Grateful Dead, cover band, trying to book up the whole INN on December 12th, so if you were hoping to stay that night...call ahead to reserve your room...hhehehehe.

Imagine, we have a Commercial grade gas barbeque, CharBroil brand...and it is the ONLY model that cannot be hooked up to natural gas, must have propane...is that nutty!? We had great burgers tonight....and probably a tri-tip this weekend...so we hope that propane tank is full!
