The Dog Bark Park Inn

Travel 1 Minute

 I saw this building while looking for other unrelated things and I knew I had to do a little research about it and bring it (for kea!).   

Dog Bark Park Inn is a guesthouse inside the World’s Largest Beagle.   Some of the dog’s decorative furnishings are carvings by Dog Bark Park chainsaw artists Dennis and Francis. An adjacent gift shop offers an assortment of dog carvings. Visitors can also see how the carvings are made.

For dog lovers looking to take a trip to Idaho, we’ve found the perfect place to stay overnight! Located in Cottonwood, Idaho, Dog Bark Park Inn (aka Sweet Willy) is a specifically themed hotel shaped like a beagle. The two-bedroom bed & breakfast boasts a number of dog-themed design choices from the architecture itself to the interior decor.

The husband and wife wood carving artists behind the inn, Dennis Sullivan and Francis Conklin, first began experimenting with wood art nearly two decades ago. They say, “Our ‘big break’ came in 1995 when our carvings were sold on QVC television. We did nothing but carve wooden dogs for 18 months (our children barely remember seeing us during those days!), made what seemed like a bundle of money, invested it all in developing and building Dog Bark Park.”

Now, the couple continues to carve folk-art style wooden replicas of dogs, having already created over 60 different breeds of canines, and rent out their massive, towering tourist attraction. Check out the lodge’s website for a full list of amenities and pricing.

Dog lovers will appreciate this fun and functional roadside attraction on US Highway 95 at Cottonwood, Idaho.

  1. “The Inversion of Health–Population Control in the 20th Century”
    RYAN DELARME
    APR 13, 2023

    EXCERPT: “The Medical Industrial Complex is not only putting our great nation and its businesses into bankruptcy, but also facilitating population control and modernized eugenics. Healthcare costs continue to skyrocket out of control, dramatically outpacing overall growth in this country. As far back as 2004, we were shelling out a staggering $1.7 trillion per year on healthcare, which was 14% of the U.S. GDP; it has only continued to grow since then, reaching $4.3 trillion in 2021. (#) (#)

    Growing up in Michigan, I’d always heard that, “As General Motors (GM) goes, so goes America.” GM, as I’m sure you all know, hasn’t been doing well for a long time now. Prior to Obama forcing its CEO to resign in 2009, the company had received $17.4 billion in bailouts but couldn’t turn things around. This inability to climb out of extreme debt was due, in part, to the tremendous cost of its healthcare program for employees; they were actually spending significantly more on healthcare than they were on steel and other materials necessary to build their cars. (#) (#)

    It would be one thing if these extreme costs provided the American working class with access to truly remarkable medical wisdom resulting in a disease-free life, but sadly this is not the case. In fact, they are providing us with just the opposite.

    Rise of the American Medical Association and the Flexner Report

    In the words of a wiser man, the medical industry is nothing short of a “Church of Biological Mysticism” with medical doctors the equivalent of “high priests.” Modern medicine has only been around for a little over 100 years, while traditional medical systems (such as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine) have been around for over 3,000 years. I’m not saying that one system is superior to another, only that some are more tested than others.

    A perception that has only continued to gain steam in the wake of COVID-19 and its response, is that these medical “emperors” are now stark naked. In order to understand the current state of affairs of medical practice in the USA, it’s vital to understand exactly how we got here.”

    Sources: GOP senators preparing for McConnell retirement
    https://thespectator.com/topic/gop-senators-prepare-mitch-mcconnell-retirement/

    Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell has been out of the public eye for weeks, following a serious fall that hospitalized him. Now multiple sources confirm that Senators John Barrasso of North Dakota, John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota are actively reaching out to fellow Republican senators in efforts to prepare for an anticipated leadership vote — a vote that would occur upon announcement that McConnell would be retiring from his duties as leader, and presumably the Senate itself.

    Will McConnell’s eventual replacement be another RINO who is just as bad?

  7. NF: I am not surprised Malone would back Kennedy….

    “RFK, Jr. is a personal friend and I truly believe that he is a viable candidate who if elected would make a great president. The fact is that Bobby has been fighting corporatism for his entire career and that is something I can support. His positions on the pseudo mRNA vaccines and vaccine mandates is what initially brought me into his circle and I will always be grateful to him for his stance on this issues.

    Bobby asked to to attend his opening campaign event at Boston Park Plaza in Boston, MA next Wednesday, April 19th at 10:00 AM, and I have carved time in an already busy week to do so. I hope to see you all there too!

    If this event is well attended, if may force the legacy media to pay attention not only to his campaign, but to the issues that are being highlighted in his campaign. That would be a win for all of us.”

  8. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.

  16. DAN WOOTTON: The hate-filled gender lobby might deny reality, but trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney is now making a mockery of women. Shame on Nike, Bud, Olay and other brands for buying into this madness

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11961599/DAN-WOOTTON-hate-filled-gender-lobby-deny-reality.html

    The rise of trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney is a woke fairy tale that has quickly morphed into a very real horror story for women.

    As an attention seeking gay musical lover, the fame hungry singer gained only moderate success, appearing on stage in The Book of Mormon ensemble and briefly going viral for a bizarre dance routine as a contestant on the game show The Price Is Right.

    Then began the ‘transition into girlhood’, all faithfully documented in a host of TikTok videos designed to go viral by appealing to the woke gender extremists and disturbing those standing up for the rights of biological women in equal measure.

    Funny that he made it onto the price is right….
