Doggone It!

We all know how very lucky we are to live on Daniel Island and in the lowcountry in general. Starting with the weather…although this morning with temps in the low-30’s, it felt more like we lived in the northeast! But then we have those amazing sunsets over the marshes and through the grand oaks, the pluff mud, the beaches…

But those things are nothing without the people that make up our day-to-day experiences and interactions.

There’s a Facebook group of Daniel Island Moms that’s become a real community, one that’s meant to support, inform and sometimes – in a positive way – censure. It’s been “on the books” for several years and is no longer just “moms” but is comprised of citizens of every ilk, living in and around Daniel Island. Their main commonality is love of and concern for the island many of us call home.

This page is a forum for not only information, but also asking for help. So when a precious pet is missing, it’s become the first place people post a plea for assistance in finding their beloved family member. And within Daniel Island Moms there are some really committed women who seem to rise to the occasion more often than not. I’m a dog lover and I’ve been amazed to see Brenda, Linnea, Christy and Stephanie go out of their ways to get on their bikes and roam their neighborhoods looking for lost pets. And Amy, Elke, Valary, Roe and Alicia all post updates or “capture” the found loved ones as soon as possible.

Annie…so far hasn’t escaped her fenced-in backyard.

There are far too many of these angels for me to name them all. But they know who they are. I know that when my Annie figures out how to get out of our fence, it won’t be long until some good Samaritan finds her and gets her back where she belongs, because the first thing I’ll do is to post her “escape” on Daniel Island Moms!
