Lisa Jaramillo, owner of Pet Play House Inc. at 2401 E. Fourth St., is building an 8,324-square-foot facility next door that promises to be the Biltmore of dog boarding.

Jaramillo’s current facilities, which she’s owned since 2000, measure just over 1,000 square feet, with another 1,000 outdoors. The new $1.2 million facility will include private condos with yards, as well as private suites to house unfriendly dogs or those not spayed or neutered. Suites will include televisions and piped-in music, and skylights and windows will be placed throughout the facility, which Jaramillo says helps counter canine aggression and depression. Indoor areas also will include artificial turf on raised grids to keep pets off concrete floors and improve waste drainage. Read more:

Nevadans are independent by nature. It is a value we hold dear and that newcomers crave. One area in which we have lost our independence is in energy consumption. Nevadans spend $9 billion to $12 billion per year to purchase coal, natural gas and gasoline/diesel. The time is right for us to begin to divest ourselves from dependence on petroleum and to invest in clean energy. The political climate, the economic climate and Greater Reno-Tahoe’s clean energy natural resources make this the ideal time and place to develop geothermal, solar and wind energy. Read more:
