Animals

Despite the bitter cold temperatures this Winter, Spotted Lanternflies still pose a huge threat to New Jersey. Here are the steps you should take before Spring:

An adorable seal that was beached on the sands of South Jersey returned to the water thanks to Brigantine's Marine Mammal Stranding Center.

Wouldn't it be amazing to find a shark tooth or dinosaur bone that's millions of years old? It's possible at this Monmouth County Park.

Remember when your parents broke the news to you that mermaids weren’t real. Remember when you crumbled to the floor crying while screaming, “lies! LIES!”. Maybe that was just me. Well guess what? Your parents were wrong and mermaids DO exist in New Jersey…

We all have em’…an awful ex! You know the person who made you pull your hair out, cry to your mama, and eat way too many pints of Haagen-Dazs. With Valentines Day coming, I have just the thing to heal your broken heart and shall we say…send your awful ex a message.

When it snows it is like my dog sees one giant snow cone. He starts licking his chops ready to stick that furry face right into the fresh white powder. It sounds innocent enough but is eating snow safe for our fur babies?

If you encounter a seal on your beach strolls this winter, there are 3 behavioral signs that reveal if it's bothered by your presence.

Betty White was a national treasure, and now on her 100th heavenly birthday she sparked a national movement. I'm sure you've see #BettyWhiteChallenge everywhere on social media. What does it all mean? The idea is to donate $5 to any local or national animal shelter in Betty White’s name. This is supposed to be the last big push since today is her birthday. I made a list of every No Kill animal shelter in New Jersey and linked their contact info to make it easy for you to be a part of the challenge today!

South Jersey cats and dogs in need have been featured on a site like GoFundMe, but for pets.

One of my favorite things to write about is the opening of local stores and restaurants, especially after what the pandemic did to many business owners. For me, It's exciting to see passionate entrepreneurs bring something they love to our Jersey Shore communities...

When I saw these massive, moving beach creatures I immediately thought we need one at the Jersey Shore! I promise, you have never seen such massive and impressive moving art in your life! Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist that builds moving creatures out of PVC pipes that actually move on their own! Seriously, they walk on the beach like some sort of living, breathing freaking awesome dinosaur.

These places will trim up your pet and have your fur baby looking fantastic this holiday!
