What Makes A Great Beauty Memorable?

Leave a Comment / CandyLand of Cottages /

One of our magnificent mermaid manors is getting re-branded.  She’s getting, fluffed, styled, coiffed, beautified and her debut is coming soon.

We asked various arbiters of good taste, “What makes a great beauty memorable?”

How can we make an already remarkable home be even more inviting?

One of the style icons we queried was our own Mermaid Mascot, Danny.

  You see, when it comes to admiring something beautiful or enjoying something sinfully delicious,

Danny’s our Go-To guy.  So, we asked him.  “Danny.  What’s one feature that makes a great beauty truly memorable?”

In true Danny style he just plopped down, let out a “I’m in heaven” yawn and wafted off into doggy dreamland on these beautiful hardwood floors.

What makes a great beauty memorable?  Our cottage re-do will soon debut her new hardwoods.  There’s a clue to her identity hidden in this blog.  Be sure to read our weekend blogs for Mermaid Cottages and Beach Bum Biscuits, our FACEBOOK pages and our TWEETS for more clues to her identity.  Then, be thinking about what we should re-name her.  Your winning recommendation could score you our Mermaid Magnificent Must-haves!

Denver Must Be Danny’s Long Lost Sister

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

A You Tube video of Denver, the Guiltiest Dog in America, made the rounds this week and even landed Denver a guest spot on ABC’s Good Morning America, too.

Like everyone else we got tickled at Denver’s walk of shame after her owner discovered she had devoured a bag of cat treats while he was away.

We were tickled that someone else has a lab like our Danny.  Danny is one of our Mermaid Cottages mascots and frequently models for our photo shoots.  He truly is a beautiful soul and very loving, but he’s had a few guilty episodes of his own.

To date and over the years, Danny has snarfed down cupcakes, a sour cream peach pound cake, bags of confectioners sugar, an Easter Coconut Cake decorated with Peeps, flour, and a few bags of Paula Deen’s Cheese Biscuit Mix!  He’s even had to make a couple trips to the vet to have his stomach examined for various combinations of non-doggy friendly “treats” he confiscated without permission.

He’s a cool customer.  Usually, so long as a food item is at least 12 inches from the edge of the counter we consider it a “Danny Free Zone”.  But, if we’re off by a couple of inches or if it’s something truly too good to pass up like cakes and Peeps, Danny will find a way.  Initially, he seems aloof and totally not interested, but turn your back for just a moment and it’s carpe diem!

Maybe Denver will visit us some day and teach Danny the walk of shame.  Until then, we have to stay one or two steps ahead of him!

If you’ve got photos or videos of your pets antics, please post them on our FACEBOOK page and your pet could be our Beach Bum Biscuits pet of the day!
