LA-SPCA Is Giving FREE (or very low-cost, only $20.00) Vaccinations, Microchip, etc.

Since St. Vincent's Guesthouse is a "Pet Friendly" guesthouse, I thought this might be good information for our long term guests/residents who have pets. This event was originally scheduled for the first Saturday of January (5th) but it was postponed to January 12th due to bad weather since folks have to stand in line outside at the below location.

Speaking of "Pet Friendly", there is a small one-time cleaning fee for pets depending on their size and the fee ranges from around $15.00 on up, regardless on your length of stay unless you are a really long-term guest/resident, then it could be a couple hundred dollars for the one-time fee.  We do have a quota on how many pets and especially on BIG dogs and right now, we aren't taking any more BIG dogs but dogs around 30 pounds or less are still OK.  

01/12/13 Update - Just got back with Barney getting all his missing but needed shots and microchip.

Ivette Meow - Girl With A Squirrel

Well... I'm just doing a quick post, as I'm supposed to be working, but I just got done checking in a small group from Canada and one of the guests was a musician, Ivette Meow, and she gave me a sticker for her latest album, "Girl With A Squirrel".  http://www.ivettemeow.com/

I went and checked her out on YouTube and this song/video jumped out at me since it's called "Blue Moon" and performed in a graveyard and New Orleans is known for it's Blues and graveyards.


And the rest of her YouTube channel of videos...  http://www.youtube.com/user/IvetteMeow?feature=watch

The group of four was lots of fun to chat with and we all chatted and joked for about a half hour before I had to shut myself up so they could get into their room and then head down to the French Quarter.  I told Ivette to check out N'Awlins biggest Karaoke bar, the Cat's Meow, since it shares her family name. ;-)

Have fun gang!!!
