Time to 'fess up!

When we first posted about the Tonk's Tail B&B being open for business, loads of folks here and on Facebook raved about how gorgeous our home was.

So many, in fact, that we began to feel a bit guilty about misleading you.


Confession time: this lovely Victorian thing...is not our home.

No, our mom was too lazy to get a real B&B shingle for us to set out in our front yard, so she used a stock photo to create one in Photoshop instead.

Alas, we're stuck with your run-of-the-mill, Midwest suburban home.


But there really is a Green Room. (It was painted a very dark green when the home was purchased, but the name stuck)


And there really is a Blue Room. Though it's more of a blue-and-brown room, come to think of it....


And far from something lovely, large and Victorian, we have blue and stone ... and big monster oak trees!

(and a cherry tree, four apple trees, two plums, a peach and two pear trees. But we digress!)

Oh yeah, and for a few days...THIS.

Tonk's Tail B&B: Open for Bizness

Didja hear? It's a most auspicious time around our home, because this evening, we're entertaining visitors, en route to the BlogPaws conference in Nashville. And not just any visitors, either.

So we three kitties decided we'd better hang out our shingle, real quick-like.


Checking into the Green Room this evening are none other than Katie & Waffles of Glogirly fame:

  
Waffles: Hey, Boss. Do you think they serve chicken there? Because if not, I might have to get a room at the Chicken Haus down the street, instead.

Katie: That's not a bad idea, actually. That way you couldn't embarrass me in front of Allie - and I might actually get some sleep for a change.

Waffles: Wait! We can order in! That way, Faraday & I can still conduct speed trials on their cat tree.

(Speed trials? uh, wait....)

Checking into the Blue Room this evening is another famous celebrity: Snotface the Ferret!

I cannot confirm or deny the rumor that I cuddled extensively with your human last year at BlogPaws....
 Two facts about Snotface:
  1. he's deaf, like our Maxwell (cool, huh!)
  2. and when today's post title read "open for bizness" - you just thought we were being clever, right? But actually, a group of ferrets is known as...you got it: a Business!


Faraday: Any other takers? We have one room left. . .
Maxwell: Dood, you can't book Momma's room!!!
Allie: *eyeroll* that Brat'll do anything for a buck....
