Pass The Biscuits, Please!

Did you know that every doggie guest staying in any of our pet friendly cottages finds a supply of our delicious Beach Bum Biscuits treats as our welcome gift?

Proceeds from our signature doggie treats help sponsor a puppy to be trained as a Guide Dog or a Service dog for a person with a disability, including veterans returning from service that may need assistance.

This is just one of the ways Mermaids Give Back to our community and it's also one of the easiest ways our guests can give back, as well.  Proceeds from the sales of Beach Bum Biscuits all go towards sponsoring our puppies, so be sure to pick some up at Seaside Sisters while you're here and contact us any time you need more!

It there's any doubt our Beach Bum Biscuits are good just ask any of our repeat doggie guests!



Now, STORM!  How many have you had?

A Special Gift For Mother's Special Day

Thinking of a special gift for Mom on her special day?

For most moms nothing is more special than the gift of time.  Mom always loves it when the family makes time for her, so how about surprising your Mom by volunteering to pet sit for her while she goes out to do some things for herself.

She'll be grateful you  were so thoughtful and she'll be impressed you gave her the gift of time...for herself.

 Just be sure to know your audience.

Oh, the joys of pet sitting!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

BBB Dog Tales: Living the Grey Dog Life

What does one do when a loved one is a Houdini that escapes and bolts out the door and another loved one repeatedly brings the outdoors in to your house and studio?  Well, if the loved ones are Weimaraners you just learn to adore them and don't sweat the small stuff!

 Meet Tucker and Oliver, the regal and handsome purebreed wards of  Grey Dog Studio artist, Laurel Johns.  Purebreed, magnificent and rescued, these lads divide their time between Laureal's Hird Island, GA stained glass art studio and summers in Tenants Harbor, ME. 

Weimaraners are friendly, fearless, alert and obedient, but they are also assertive, bold, headstrong and loyal.  As with most rescued animals, you may start out to do something good by adopting a homeless pet, but you soon find out they rescue you right back!

We'll share more about Laurel and her beautiful and extraordinary stained glass art in an upcoming Mermaids In Our Midst, so for right now enjoy these charming fellows and learn more about the joys of adopting one or any animal from your local shelter or rescue group.

For more information about Weimaraners go to weimrescue.org and Adopt, Foster, Transport and Volunteer in your community.

For more information about Grey Dog Studio, Laurel Johns and her stained glass art creations go to www.greydogstudio.com.

Laurel is making a difference in the art world and in the pet community by rescuing these magnificent Weimaraners.  Thanks for sharing your art and Tucker and Oliver, Laurel!
