Huge shoutout to the Stonington Borough Fire Department! When every single one of my smoke detectors decided to start going off at 3:00 a.m. and wouldn’t stop until early morning, they came right out to help and troubleshoot the problem.
The dogs were terrified, the teenagers were less than thrilled, but Mako? He was living his best life and absolutely loved meeting the firefighters! Maybe Dalmatians don’t have the title of “fire dog” all locked up after all. 🐶🚒
Thank you to all of the volunteers for answering the call in the middle of the night. You truly are the best!
🍻🎤🎸Come join me at the Plainfield VFW on Friday, July 31! I’ll be guest bartending to help raise funds for the VFW, with live music, karaoke, and a fun night out. Stop by, say hello, and support a great local post. Hope to see you there!
🦈🌊🦭 Shark sighting at this morning’s seal release! Just kidding… it was only Mako. 🐾
Churro wasn’t quite ready to leave at first, but after a little encouragement, he made his way back into the ocean where he belongs. Thank you to the Mystic Aquarium for the incredible work you do rescuing, rehabilitating, and returning marine animals to the wild. 💙
