Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
It’s muddy this time of year, but Jerry is indulgent and knows how much Friday and I enjoy our little dips. So this weekend he took us to play fetch in this swimming hole near the cottages (remember, pets are welcome with us, for a small fee – maybe yours want to come play with us this summer!). Being the big brother, I was happy to share our stick – for a little while. But of course, I had to claim something for my own before the day was done!
The Berry works so hard, so it’s hard to be selfish – she deserves a trip to Ontario to visit her family. But who will we snuggle with on lazy Sunday afternoons? Or any day for that matter? We’ll be quite sad without her these next few weeks, we’re sure, but we wish her a fabulous vacation filled with lots of love and relaxation. And we’ll be waiting with open paws when she gets back!
Friday and Murphy may seem like perfect gentlemen, but even their paws (and more) get muddy when they’re out playing in of the many watering holes around the cottages. But they’re so happy when the weather cooperates and we can take them out for a dip, that it’s worth the clean up! Thankfully, we welcome pets at the cottages for a small fee, so lots of dogs come stay with us, and our boys get to make new, fast friends. It’s always fun to chase old sticks with new friends.
We’d like to take a break from our usually happy blogging to say goodbye to Molly, our sweet Devon Rex who passed away yesterday morning. We never had her as a kitten, as you see above – we hope that she enjoyed her adult years with us. She we beloved by all of us, including our goldens, and by everyone who met her. She was a rare creature and she will be missed.
If you have pets, you know how they become a part of your family. Below is how we’ll remember her. 
I don’t think Jerry and The Berry enjoyed too many St. Paddy’s Day libations yesterday, but it’s no fun putting away the green and revelry. So today’s blog falls on a bit of a holiday hangover. Always one to get in on the fun, Jerry dressed accordingly yesterday (reportedly down to his skivvies, though you’d have to follow us on Twitter to find proof of that!). And, as we like to say in Newfoundland, we had a time!
The best days are hike days, especially since we have so many beautiful walking trails around the cottages to explore. This lucky day, we had not one but two humans to accompany us. Not very often you get these two not-working at the same time! 
There’s always lots to do for fun around the cottages. A little snow doesn’t hurt the great walking trails, especially on a sunny day. Especially when you have a great group to do it with. For me, that means Jerry and The Berry, of course, and also my new brother, Friday. The two-leggeds have to bundle up, of course, but for Friday and me, a little exercise and we’re warm as anything. Don’t we strike a handsome pair bounding down the lane?
I love it when Friday gets to sleepover – I get to have a partner in crime. Of course, here, we look like we’re reading to start our boxing match, but no worries – we’d never fight! Really, it was just raining hard the last time we had to go outside. We got drenched in 30 seconds. Thankfully, we’ve got Laurelyn to dry us off, and lots of warm places to cuddle to warm up (another reason to love our Stay In and Stay Warm package).
With limited power comes limited blogging. Although, without opposable thumbs, I don’t see what the big fuss is about (I just love the extra cuddles!), Jerry’s given me limited time to write my weekly post. How rude! Anyway, here’s me and Friday enjoying a snowy walk, for what it’s worth!
And a hint if your power-less first weekend of the new year was less than fun: we’ve got a special, second-night-for-$99 offer running through March at The Doctor’s House – it could be just what the doctor ordered!
Happy New Year from all of us at Ocean Delight, two-leggeds and four-leggeds alike! Here’s Friday, all decked out and ready to party. We’re very excited, of course, as tonight we’ll be hosting our very first New Year’s Eve Special at The Doctor’s House. With a team like ours, and a little direction from me and Friday, I think we’ll do great! Stay tuned to Facebook, as we’ll let you know how it goes there.
