Dog Tales: Easter Visits We Love

One of the best things about a holiday is when we get to see and spend time with those we love...and that includes our Pawsome Pals!
We love it when we get to meet all of our guests and we especially enjoy meeting new members of our pet community.  Be sure to post your pet pics on our Facebook pages and we'll proudly display them!
Happy Easter, Y'all!
Pet We\'ve Met Along The Way

Danny + Peeps = Gobble Gobble

By now, everyone knows our Danny.  He's our mascot.  He's our photo shoot model.  He's our Look-Out Sentry.  He's our Ambassador.
He's also a bottom-less disposal.
No matter what the holiday or what edible (and sometimes inedible) delight he spies he just has no willpower.  Easter always brings to mind the time he devoured the PEEPS Easter Cake.  The general rule for Danny's Gastronomic Escapades is so long as the object of his desire is at least 12 inches from the edge of the kitchen counter it's safe.  The thing is Danny never read the rules and he never met a PEEPS he didn't like.

What do you have planned as an Easter surprise for your Pawsome Pal?  Be sure to send us your Easter Pet Pics and we'll post them on our Facebook page!
We had originally wanted to post the pics of Diane's beautiful Easter PEEPS Cake, so here's the only photo she managed to snap of it.  Just minutes later she turned her back and it was gone.  The only clue to what had happened in the blink of an eye was the tell-tale sign of PEEPS sugar around Danny's mouth!

Here's wishing you a Happy Easter!

Beach Bum Biscuits:Easter's On Its Way!

What color will your Easter eggs be this year?  Haven't decided, yet?  While walking my dogs around the island I found my inspiration!

I love the cool blue I saw on this painted flower pot in front of Nora's Cottage and I love the idea of an Easter basket full of bright blue eggs nestled in white grass and dotted with yellow PEEPS throughout.  I used to think I had to have eggs in every shade imaginable, but lately I'm drawn to less colors and more contrast.  I think I'll make one large basket of blues and yellows and whites for my Easter table and maybe I'll still dye more eggs in different colors to donate to a local hunt.  I  enjoy dyeing the eggs and hiding them, but since I don't have small children I won't be hiding any in the yard at Nora's.

Now, my dogs always enjoy finding treats, so I'll donate my brightly colored Easter eggs and instead hide Beach Bum Biscuits around the yard for my Pawsome Pals.   Besides, each dog friendly cottage is well stocked with a supply of Beach Bum Biscuits and I'm sure my Wag Pack will find everyone!

Nora's Cottage has this wonderful, fenced-in back yard.  I might just discover that nap I've been missing while the dogs find their treats!

Be sure to plan your trip to Nora's Cottage.  An adventure to waiting for you!

Doggone Merry Christmas!

     Our good friend David shared some mermaid ornaments with me from Laraines.com and, of course, that got me exploring the site! 
     Just look at these adorable doggie delights! Hopefully, these help get you in the holiday mood if you aren't already! Aren't they adroable...just too doggone cute if you ask me!

     And don't forget, Beach Bum Biscuits make great stocking stuffers, and you can get yours at Seaside Sisters now! Not only can your pooch enjoy a treat, but your purchase helps us sponsor service and guide dogs...and what better time of year to help out a great cause right?  Enjoy the season guys, Merry Christmas!

Funny Cartoon, Great Reminder!

   If you've been on YouTube at all, you know how addictive it is! Well, the other day I saw a friend's post on Facebook, followed it, and eventually came upon this cute little video. I thought I'd share it with you guys! It's funny, but also a great reminder (especially around the holidays) to be mindful of what and how we treat our four legged friends. Make sure you check out the rest of the videos too... they are just too darn cute! Enjoy!

The dogs of Key West, Florida

I'm spending a magical month in Key West- an island I truly love.  I adore Tybee Island, Georgia, but there is something about being at this end of the road ( literally!) island that just speaks to my soul.  I think it's the combination of amazing cottages, unique and  interesting people from all over the world who have landed here, world class restaurants ( some fancy, some shacks) and the weather. Even though we're going thru a cold spell, it just doesn't matter.

The dogs and I literally take walks all day long.  I love finding interesting things to take pictures of with my cell phone camera.   I keep finding dog "stuff" including dog statues.  Here are two that took my breath away.  Just down the street from my cottage, I think they are too big labs.  The owner thinks they are great danes, but I think they are labs.  Big, glorious labs guarding their humans and home.  And best of all, all decorated for the holidays!  This whole home is beautiful and all lit up, but the dogs are the best part.

Enjoy! I know I do on a daily basis!

Max Look-a-Like Contest!

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Well, the Tybee Shop'n'Stroll begins tomorrow! It's an island wide event, but make sure to stop by Seaside Sisters for your event map. It's the perfect time to pick up some Beach Bum Biscuits for all the furry friends on your Christmas list! Also, The Sisters will be hosting The Grinch and The Whos, from Whoville!!

While you're there, bring your pooch in their best Max costume and enter them in the Max the Dog Look-a-like Contest! There's going to be an abundance of fun, holiday cheer, s'mores, and shopping...it's going to be a blast, so don't miss it!

A Snowballs Chance?

     It's Christmas time and, for most of us, that conjures up images of snow! Well, we don't see much of the white stuff her on Tybee. So, when I saw this toy I literally laughed out loud! I found this in the Planet Dog Amazon Shop... 

Now, even dogs in warm climates can have a snowball! Isn't that the cutest thing?

Safe and Happy Holidays for Your Pet!

It's holiday time again, and that means loads of yummy holiday goodies! But, a lot of our favorite treats aren't all that great for your dog or cat. Chocolate, coffee, alcoholic drinks, grapes, raisins, onions, and Macadamia nuts might sound wonderful to you, but they are all harmful choices for your pets. It's a good practice to feed your pet their own food before the festivities start, so they will be satisfied. Also, try to avoid letting your pet have table scraps. It's just a good idea, so you don't end up spending your holiday at the vet office!

Want to know more? The ASPCA has a great site, and a full list of holiday kitchen hazards and why you should avoid them. The American Humane Association also has a lot of information about how to make the entire holiday season safer for your pets! Make sure to check them out...we want you and your pets to have a wonderful time and super safe holiday season!
