I hate it and when people jump the gun give bogus warnings before properly fact checking, I have even done it  myself a couple times   …   but this one is real, and it’s important.

If someone  comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around  with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!!    IT IS A SCAM!!    They only want to see you naked   …

I wish I’d gotten this yesterday.    I feel so stupid.

In all seriousness, Saga does a great job of helping combat tick fever in dogs as well as so many other important things like the recent 3 day free spay and neuter clinic with World Vets.

SAGA Humane Society would like to give a big Thank You to Mojito Bar and Deona and her staff for hosting our monthly cook-off, ‘Appetizers’ on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. We had special guests for the night – a group of (14) professionals from World Vets who were here providing the community with a 3-day, free spay & neuter clinic. Everyone was treated to fabulous entries by some of Ambergris Cayes best restaurants and home chefs.

Winners were: 1st place was won by The Hotel with their ‘Potato Skins’. There was a Tie for 2nd Place between our hosts Deona Pilgrim of Mojito Bar with their ‘Garnaches’ and Kate Corrigan of Crave Restaurant with their ‘Fish Cakes’. It was tough judging for all those attending.
