Inauguration Excess, Doggy Style

One of the available menus at Loews hotels includes sundried tomato fettucini, salmon, blue corn, and eggs made to order. And just as you suspected, those are the room-service choices for dogs. The Presidential Pooch Package is part of Loews' celebration of, wait for it, the indoguration. Starting at $169 a night (depending on the package and the hotel), the pooch package includes the "Stars and Stripes" room service for dogs and a patriotic-themed bandana for the dogs to take home as a keepsake. (Notice the model above.) It does not include someone else following your dog around to pick up his undigested blue corn.

The package is, of course, offered at the D.C. Loews hotel, the Madison, at 1177 15th St. NW, but that prime-location hotel is, of course, booked for inauguration week. Don't fret, though. Your pampered puppy can have  pasta at this special rate for the first 100 days of the Obama administration, so through April 29.
