\f0\fs26 \cf2 Everything is big in Texas.\'a0 Whether deserved or not, Texas is known for
extravagance.\'a0 A recent development supports that designation.\'a0 The Spa Paws Hotel has
opened in Fort Worth.\'a0 It\'92s a pet hotel and it cost 4.4 million dollars.\'a0 It features
custom upholstered beds, satin blankets, a wellness center, and\'a018-inch flat-screen
TVs.\'a0 Rooms rent for up to $200 a night.\ \'a0\
I read that and I got a sick feeling in my stomach. I\'92m fond of animals, but a hotel
for pets, $200 a night!\'a0 I wonder how far away from that pet hotel will you find people
sleeping on the streets because they are homeless.\ \'a0\
I don\'92t want to be tough on Ft. Worth. Such glaring expressions of affluence gone
crazy are present in every city.\'a0 Speaking about it eases my sickness a bit. And maybe
my own guilty conscience is stirring within me.\
\'a0\ This is my word of concern. I\'92m Maxie Dunnam
and I believe in Memphis. \ \'a0\
