Human2 iz heading off to BlogPaws West way out der in Denver, CO. I gotted in ma carrier and I wuz all ready for to go, but herz sed I had to stay home wif human1....sumfin about me no likin to fly. Pffft. So I sended Edgar along to make sure herz behabs.

Edgar wuz all smiles at da airport. himz sed dat be da plane wot gonna makes dem fly ober ma head in a lil bit. Dey did arrive in Denver in da middle of da day but it feeled later wif dem time travel zones!  While walkin in dat airport, human2 did spy a dog wot herz knows. Dat wuz Comso.

Dey did share a ride ober from da airport to da hotel togetter. I been told dat human2 did get kisses from dat Cosmo in dat van! Ewwww dog lips. Den as soon az dey did gets to dem Hotel doors dey did meet up wif @Pumpkinpuddy and @Felissahadas

Stayed at Artmore Hotel For BarkWorld Expo

Da Artmore Hotel iz in the middle of Atlanta's Cultural Arts District and it certainly reflects dat. Very artsy fartsy. Da design haz a Spanish Mediterranean feel to it. Dat iz our GMC Terrain for da GMC Bark n Ride. Fanks GMC!

Dey had a loverly entrance dat just makes you want to hang out on da porch for awhile. dis hotel is pet friendly but human2 did not take me along.

Dis da lobby also very welcoming and very trendy. You could hang out here or at da bar. Dey had old moovies playin on dat TV 24/7 (no sound...so you can enjoy your company or da music). One nite da Swiss Family Robinson wuz playin.

The rooms were very nicely furnished, but da best fing about dem were da beds (really wot else do you need in a hotel room besides da bed....o and wifi). Human2 had da best night sleeps ever in dat bed and dem pillows were just PAWSUM.

Da humanz arrived at nite and dis wuz da first fing dey seed. Den when dey headed to da lobby dey felt like dey were going into a night club.

I finks it would be hard fur da folks who werk nights here to do der job, but da lightin iz purrty cool.

Human2 had a beary nice stay at da Artmore & would recommends it to anyone traveling to Atlanta.
