The Farm at Natchez Trace is planning a Romantic Valentine's Weekend for our guests staying February 12th and February 13th**.

Upon arrival all guests will be given a Mini Massage before being shown to their luxury suite. Especially for this weekend, the in-room movie system will be featuring only the classic romances like "Sleepless in Seattle," "The Aristocats," "Casablanca," "Lady and the Tramp"... And then there will be the Singles Mixers where guests will be invited to romp and play and get very, very dirty...

As always, there will be something for everyone at The Farm (except the humans to whom, regretfully, we cannot extend romping and massaging).

In addition to outdoor breaks four times a day, your DOG will also enjoy:

• Daily opportunity to mingle with other guests (meeting soul-mate likely but not guaranteed.)
• Romantic lunchtime walk down a country trail with a gentle, caring (human) person totally devoted to his or her needs.
• Nightly "Snuggle 'n Smooch" with a loving tuck-in and a special all-natural, home-baked, heart-shaped bedtime treat.
• 50% off baths in our luxurious "Bathery & Spa."

In addition to The Farm's normal schedule your CAT will also enjoy:

• Daily playtime with a gentle, caring (human) person totally devoted to his or her needs.
• Nightly "Snuggle 'n Smooch" with a loving tuck-in and a special all-natural, home-baked, heart-shaped bedtime treat (kitty version.)
• Peace and quiet in a spacious five-level private cat condo with views over the serene 18-acre property from four upper levels.

The Farm at Natchez Trace is taking reservations for our "Romantic Valentine's Weekend", February 12th through February 14th, 2010. To book, call 615-662-6628.

**PLEASE NOTE: GUESTS MUST STAY OVER BOTH FEBRUARY 12TH AND 13TH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SPECIAL OFFER.

The Farm at Natchez Trace will offer the first in a series of nine lectures in its 2010 Lecture Series on Sunday, March 21st, 2:00 p.m. featuring local veterinary expert I. Craig Prior, DVM, of Murphy Road Animal Hospital. Dr. Prior will kick off our first lecture of the year on the topic of flea and tick products and prevention. You’ll learn how to understand the various products available, what is safe, and what is best for your pet. A question and answer session will follow the lecture. The event is free and open to the public, but space is limited and reservations are requested by calling The Farm at 615-662-6628, or by emailing lectureseries@thefarmatnatcheztrace.com.

Dr. Prior is a Partner and the Medical Director of Murphy Road Animal Hospital in Nashville. Born and raised in Australia, Dr. Prior represented Australia at the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, before graduating in 1984 from the University of Queensland, Brisbane, with a degree in veterinary medicine. His interests include small animal medicine and surgery, as well and avian and exotic animal medicine and surgery. He moved to the United States in 1985 and joined the staff of Murphy Road Animal Hospital in 1986.

Dr. Prior shares his veterinary knowledge through speaking engagements throughout the country and guest appearances with various media outlets. In addition, Dr. Prior is a veterinary consultant to international PR companies and ad agencies. He resides in Brentwood, Tennessee, with his wife Cindy, their two children Elle and Bryce, and a menagerie of pets.

The Farm at Natchez Trace is proud to offer the educational series, now in its fifth year, to help pet owners gain knowledge about current issues affecting the emotional and physical health of their pets. Some future topics will be pet nutrition, canine massage therapy, and dog training, to name just a few.

Look for The Farm at "Bone-A-Roo" on Saturday, March 13th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the fabulous Hill Center in Green Hills. The event, sponsored by United Partnership for Animal Welfare (UPAW), is to unite groups and individuals who are concerned about animal welfare. UPAW is a non-profit organization sanctioned by the City of Nashville formed to increase the effectiveness of all efforts through coordination, joint planning, advocacy and education to improve the lives of animals in our community and reduce the high euthanasia rate through spay and neuter.

The rain-or-shine event will feature local businesses who have partnered with a non-profit rescue organization, shelter, or animal-interest group for the day to bring awareness to their cause. The Farm at Natchez Trace has partnered with Love Me Tender Animal Rescue, a non-profit organization of 22 years dedicated to helping abused and abandoned animals, and promoting low cost spay/neuter to help control the animal population.

There will be activities for humans and their pets alike! Stop by The Farm's booth and visit out Spa Corner. Your 4-legged friend can receive a nail trim by our pet professionals, a luxurious coat spritz in your choice of six fragrances, a colorful bandana, and a take-home bag of our homemade, all-natural dog biscuits. Donations will be accepted for nail trims, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Love Me Tender Animal Rescue.

We hope to see you there!
