Berkeley Springs: A Guide To Life

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

We received this update on Berkeley Springs, one of our sponsored Guide Dog puppies in training.  He’s very close to graduating and may be paired with a person with a disability, soon!

Berkeley Springs is finishing up his guide training and is working on the subways, doing city work and crowd work, taking country walks, mall work and riding escalators.  They are increasing distraction levels on all of his work and maintaining levels of concentration.  He has some slight noise sensitivity, but that is all.  His trainer says that he loves him and he is doing very well.

Join us in sending our well wishes and support to Berkeley Springs as he reaches this important milestone in his training.  His life of service will mean a more independent life and freedom for a person with disabilities.

Go forth young Berkeley Springs!  You can do it!

CATCH THIS DRIFT!

1 Comment / Service Dogs (Beach Bum Biscuits) /

Is excess gas making your dog feel…uncomfortable?   Does your dog sit in the window and daydream about rolling in the grass?

Just light a candle!  No, really!

Dogs have really sensitive noses.  That’s also how they say hello and assess a situation.

SNIFF Pet Candles is a line of all natural candles specially designed to soothe and calm your pet according to what your pet needs.  Made with organic soy, beeswax and palm these relaxing candles are also people friendly!

If there’s a particular offending odor that’s dogging your pet’s environment get them a SNIFF and you’ll both say, “AH!”

Portions of the proceeds from the sales of SNIFF also go to support animal rescue groups so we say WOOF! to that!

Arriving In Style!

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 /
     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!
