If ever there was an incentive to wish for reincarnation this is it!

DOGGY LIMO SERVICE!

Mermaid friends Linda W. and Marianne B. sent us this link to Love My Dog Resort and Playground in St. Petersburg, FL.

They provide daycare, boarding, grooming and soon a water park just for dogs!

The best part is they’ll even send their limo to pick up your pampered pooches if you’re too busy.

But, it isn’t all champagne and caviar on the menu. They’re active supporters of pet adoption and pet foster services!

What a dog-gone great idea and we congratulate their howling success!

Mermaid Sighting: Pittsburgh, PA

Leave a Comment / Mermaid Sightings / Diane Kaufman

It never ceases to amaze me where mermaids turn up! Fellow Mermaid, Melissa, spotted this mermaid while in Pittsburgh, PA…before the snow of course!

“I spotted this lovely lady in Pittsburgh. We were really trying to get home to Erie, but got totally lost in downtown after a wrong turn! It was a wonderful surprise to see a mermaid…almost like it was destiny!”

Thanks for sending in your mermaid Melissa! If you have your own mermaid sighting, we’d love to see it! Please send your sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com and we may share it right here on our blog.

Happy searching!

A Soldier’s Pet Finds A Home

Leave a Comment / Service Dogs (Beach Bum Biscuits) / Diane Kaufman

What happens to a solider’s pet when he or she gets deployed?

Many times our men and women who serve in the military get deployed and must leave their beloved pet behind. In times past, many members of the military had no other choice than to turn their pet family members into a shelter, never knowing what might become of them.

Since 2005, Guardian Angels For Soldier’s Pet has been providing foster family options for service men and women and their pets.

Foster families volunteer to provide a temporary home for a soldier’s pet while away on deployment. This organization is dedicated to the support of service men and women and their pets to ensure they are reunited once their deployment ends. It’s a fantastic way for members of the military and peace keeping forces to retain ownership of their pets and to have them well cared for while they’re away.

If you’ve got room in your home and your heart to be a foster home for military pets please register and help reunite our brave service men and women with their pets. It’s a great way to say Thank You for those who serve.

Make Mine In Plastic, Please!

It’s beginning to look a lot like SPRING which means PARTY TIME on TYBEE!

Long described as a “Drinking Island With A Fishing Problem”, the wonderful people and businesses of Tybee Island love a little sun, wonderful food, fantastic music, loads of laughter and a drink or three.

Soon, we’ll be hosting the world for our Irish Heritage Celebration, Mardi Gras, Beach Bum Weekend and just plain old everyday living!

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that our best party favor is “:The To-Go Cup”!

You’re all invited and you must partake, but always remember to toast it in a plastic cup. We don’t allow cans or glass containers of any type, but toasting the sunset or enjoying a midnight stroll on the beach with your favorite libation in a plastic cup makes it all the sweeter.

It’s how we get Tybee-ized and now, you can too!
