Weekend Woof 2.27.12:Our Golden Retriever Montauk Sniffs Out a Fabulous Florida Weekend "Be Salty!"

“The cure for anything is salt water — sweat, tears, or the salt sea.”
~Karen Blixen~

For me the sea is it!  The sound of the crashing waves and the smell of the salt air make me feel both relaxed and exhilarated at the same time.   All of my senses are heightened, and I just have to shiver and shake.  Soaking in the salt sea calms and heals. Sniffing in the sea vapor exhilarates. I want to run, roll and frolic. The sea is the ultimate cure – it creates the perfect combination of relaxation and rejuvenation. I feel a deep sense of well-being. 
I guess if you can’t get to the sea – sweat and tears will have to do!

Weekend Woof 2.20.12:"Good-Old-Things!"

Nothing conveys comfort, safety and contentment as does nuzzling with a sweaty piece of clothing recently worn by my people. Exploring, sniffing and cherishing my people’s smells is my chart to knowing and understanding them better. The scents tell the story – where have they been, what’s there mood- are they happy, are they sad – these scents guide my innate ability to be Mans-Best-Friend!  Snuggling with the recent scentful garment is the next best thing to being right by their side-it’s my 'Good-Old-Thing".

A life story is ingrained in every Good-Old-Thing - they represent age, beauty, wisdom, and history. Adding a piece of history to your room decor brings character, reflects your personality and creates interest. Finding the Good-Old-Things that nourish your soul is like a treasure hunt, once discovered and properly utilized it will be cherished forever and will be what make your house a home.

Below are a few of our favorites - what "Good-Old-Thing" do you cherish?

We love the history, the texture, the old salty smell. Here are some unique ideas that will keep your space looking classic yet playfully nautical.
