Wash your puppy and help the oil spill victims

My friend blogged about this interesting fundraiser to help victims of the oil spill. I thought I would share the information on our blog. Enjoy!

Groom Your Puppy and Help with the Oil Spill!
Posted by JacquieJune 11, 2010If you are feeling helpless about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, you can stop! There is a way for concerned citizens to help. I was very thrilled to stumble upon information about an organization called Matter of Trust. Matter of Trust is working with some local pet groomers and veterinarian offices to collect pet hair in order to help clean up the oil spill.

The donated pet hair is collected and stuffed into nylon stockings and Matter of Trust makes booms that are put in the water to absorb the oil.


Booms
Watch video showing the process.

Participating groomers and vets are:

Yuppy Puppy (843) 884-7666

Animal Medical West (843) 766-7387

Bark Avenue (843) 471-2275

Daniel Island Vet Hospital (843) 881-7228

My Three Dogs (843) 884-8818

4 Paws and a Tail Mobile Grooming (843) 810-3706

Wildlife on Kiawah

Kiawah Island is full of amazing wildlife. There are days were you take its beauty for granted, but today I was reminded of just how unique our wildlife is. Alligators are part of Kiawah's natural habitat and 9 times out of 10 you will see them relaxing on the side of a lagoon or trolling the pond waters. Today, however, a mighty beast made his presence known. He traveled about a quarter of a mile in the early morning and decided he'd look for his mate near the hotel. After about 25 minutes of forming a game plan, the Town of Kiawah, along with the assistance of Resort Security and Recreation, relocated the gator. I imagine I won't be seeing this again in my lifetime and am so excited I had the opportunity to be right there next to the action.

Enjoy the pictures!
