The Hound Hotel Inspectors
Repawter: Ellie
Hello luffly readers! It is meEllie(and Perry).
HooMum says everything in the shops is going up in price now and us houndies are going to “have to earn their keep”, whatever that means, so she has given us a job to do!
An actual job where we must go out and do things, can you believe that?
The job she gave us last week was to be Hound Hotel Inspectors at the new Lilymoo Hound Hotel opened by Auntie Julie at Lilymoo Hound Couture.
It is in a place called Wolverhampton and close to Junction 10 of the M6 Motorway so it is central to the UK and handy if your humans are flying out from Birmingham or Manchester Airports.
We were taken to the hotel in our Houndmobile and Auntie Julie gave us big hugs and ear scritches when we got to the door. HooDad carried our bags in whilst we inspected the accommodation and then settled down for a snooze.
We can tell you that it was all very lovely and there were lots of places we could sleep in.
There was a choice of two settees in the front room for us to lie on whilst Auntie Julie watched the telly thing, as well as THREE houndie beds on the floor (Perry lay in the one next to the radiator as he always like to feel toasty) and a lovely window seat where I could sit and watch everything happening outside.
There is a backroom with another settee for houndies if we want it and another houndie bed. Oh My Days- what a choice of snoozing places!
Auntie Julie has been a houndie Mum for many years, so she has lots of experience of our “special ways” and knows how to keep us safe.
There is a luffly photo of her when she had her FOUR black greyhounds (but they are all over the Rainbow Bridge now) and a stickyfoot licence thingy from Wolverhampton Council that says she can do hound hotel work as well as her Hound First Aid stickyfoot.
That room was right next to the kitchen where our meals were freshly prepared from our previously agreed menu and we could lie on our beds and watch the chef at work.
When we wanted an outside bimble about and our bathroom breaks we were in a fully enclosed walled garden (Perry looked at the high walls and said they were much too high for him to jump over).
A lovely grassed area and lots of small shrubs for Perry to wee on and pick up his peemails (he does like to wee on a shrub does me bruvva).
Daily walks were to a nice park only a few yards away where we saw ducks, moorhens, squizzers and dogs on leads and the best bit about the walks was I did not have to cross any roads as I am nervous of traffic.
We did not have to share the hotel wiv any uver hounds so it was just me and me bruvva wiv the place to ourselves.
Lilymoo Hound Hotel is for sighthounds only – unless your own brother or sister is not a hound but a small furry – in which case they are welcome to stay with you.
But, as they say, I saved the bestest bit to the last -We got to go into the Lilymoo workroom where the bespoke clothes are made and could lie on two houndie beds in there whilst Auntie Julie worked her sewing machine thingy so we were not alone at any time. It was luffly.
Auntie Julie has a thing called a stairgate at the bottom of her stairs to make sure Perry did not climb up the stairs as he could get up but would not be able to get down again. He is hopeless sometimes.
If your humans want to go on a holiday without you (I have no idea why they would, but they might) Perry and I fully recommend the Lilymoo Hound Hotel and we give it a rating of 5 bones. As it is so good dates will quickly fill up so book it!
Love
Ellie & Perry
