Bird Dog Bay founder Steve Mayer went to an animal rescue center to adopt a dog and fell in love with Labrador Retriever named Gus. Dogs like Gus were often in the shelter if they made poor hunting dogs or "bird dogs"...that's how he came up with the scentless bird logo. The website even contains a list of various things Gus has eaten.

Special thanks to one of my loyal readers for reminding me of the ever so charming Bird Dog Bay brand. Ladies, these would make great gifts for your Valentine! xx

The premier issue of High Gloss magazine showcased Jamie Meare's home.

SAS discovered a new drink called The Reef Cup. These cocktails even came with a warning..."They ruin lives".

Ingredients:

1/2 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Gin
1/2 oz. Light Rum
1/2 oz. Triple Sec
Pineapple Juice

Orange Juice
Splash of Grenadine

Pour the vodka, gin, rum and triple sec into a glass with ice. Fill it with equal parts of orange juice and pineapple juice. Add the splash of grenadine.

I am going to miss the sea and sunshine.

Special thanks to Momma K. and Char for being such lovely hostesses...it was wonderful to catch up and hear your laughter! xx
