BBB 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

Cottage Cheese: A Hammock, A Swing and a Shadetree

As the old saying goes, “Sometimes, I sit and think and sometimes, I just sit.”

Either way, I’m here to tell you there are three very important things needed to get the job done.  A Hammock, A Swing and a Shadetree.  I mean come on!  If there’s a job to do work smarter, not harder!  Lucky for me and for you there’s a new vintage cottage that’s being added to the Mermaid Cottages collection.  I’ll get a lot of sitting done here and I won’t even have to think too much about where to do it!

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!

BBB Dog Tales: Sharing the Adventure

Talk to most successful people and you’ll often hear, “The greatest joy in success comes from sharing what I have with those I love.”  It’s a wonderful life lesson to be learned, for sure, and for those of us that are pet owners we often equate real happiness with our adventures we get to share with others…especially our pets!

A visit to Mermaid Cottages and Tybee Island is an adventure for everyone, including our pets!  Although pets are not allowed on the beach there are still wonderful adventures to be had with our Pawsome Pals!  Our pet friendly cottages have beautiful yards and most are fenced.  Walking all around Tybee is a sensory delight for humans and dogs thanks to the beautiful architecture styles, island flora and fresh air.  There are also great pet adventures to be had by boating over to Little Tybee Island and exploring the history of our coast around Fort Pulaski.

We have Bark Parks and stunning decks and porches and leisurely nap times that come with being on “Tybee Time”.  Don’t just take our word for it.  Just take a look at some of the smiles of our guests!
