Heading out to New River Beach this Saturday for the Annual Sand Sculpture Contest?  It’s a “not to be missed” event with amazing sculptures of everything from huge 3-headed sea serpents to Mermaids!  Big Buddy Bacon is really looking forward to it especially to seeing all the thousands people (Nicholas and I just love to meet new people!).  There is a debate going on at home; Daddy says we can’t go because some people may be afraid of big black dogs, Mama says that no one could be afraid of a big cuddly teddy bear like me!  Nicholas and I are siding with Mama!  The worst thing I ever do is sit on people’s feet.  Yes you are reading this correctly, I love to sit beside you so close that I actually sit on your feet, all 170 lbs. of me!  Mama says it’s great when it’s 20 below zero but not so good on a hot summer day (especially when I’m all wet from a refreshing swim).  I do like to cuddle and Nicholas will sneak a kiss any chance he gets!  Paws crossed and hoping that Mama wins!

If you are heading to New River this weekend and you really love this area don’t forget that we have a waterfront property for sale at 20 Dickson Lane with 1260 feet of oceanfront and gorgeous sandy beach on neighboring Haggerty’s Cove.  Beautiful beach for sun bathing, sea kayaking or an evening of storytelling with a marshmallow roast or corn boil over an open fire!  This very private home/cottage priced at $260,000 is an easy 5-minute walk to renowned New River Beach (Nicholas and I should know, we walk in this area every weekend).

After viewing the Sand Sculptures on Saturday, we invite you to an Oceanfront Open House that Kim Burt is hosting at nearby 185 McCarthy’s Point Road, just 5-minutes up the road, at Pocologan.  Watch for our signs.  This tasteful 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath year round home/vacation cottage looks like it’s straight out of a magazine!  Offered at $450,000. Located on 3 ½ private oceanfront acres it comes complete with an additional neighboring 3-bedroom guest cottage with its own driveway and a beach!  These beach properties are definitely a Buddy Bacon kind of dream home!!!  Surf, sand, sun and sea!!!  What more could a big Newfie pooch and his four-legged sidekick ask for?  Not too much, we figure this is about as close to doggy heaven as it gets!

On Sunday, Steven is at 42 Brighton Crescent in Quispamsis.  This inviting 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom family home with finished basement is in mint condition with the best price point on the block!  Talk about Great Value at $289,900!  We are busy bees this weekend with a second open house on Sunday at 30 Grove Avenue in Rothesay offered at $599,900.  This stunning one-level home with high-end features galore is a real show stopper and what a fantastic location!  Easily walk the sidewalk to the Rothesay Common, Yacht Club, all 3 levels of schools plus RNS, churches, tennis courts, bank and post office!  Let’s not forget the weekly “Concert on the Common” with live entertainment free of charge for residents!  Nicholas and I are going to ask Mama if it would be okay if we went to one of the concerts.  We promise to be good boys, stay calm on our leashes, sit close beside Mama and greet all who come along with the right paw right up and a “How do you do”.  We’ll let you know how this goes!

Have a good week!

Your pal
