Hey! My first blog posting…liberating!
Maybe you recognize me from my photo on
http://www.petfriendlyobx.com/PetInformation/PetFriendlyAttractions/
Yeah, maybe not…they kinda buried my photo three pages in (not my best angle anyways), and I’m famous around here, dang it!
Well…more so in Manteo where I rule the boardwalk! I live at the waterfront and patrol the entire boardwalk twice a day, three times a day on the weekends. Increased patrols are essential on the weekends since all those boaters bring in their clueless dogs. The dockmaster, Carl, handles the boaters while I require their dogs to pass the smell test and a brief “chase me” exercise—separates the wheat from the chaff, know what I mean? I have to project an air of supreme confidence, so I do strut around, but really I’m a pushover. I love the excitement of all the people coming to visit me, er, Manteo. It’s a Smell-O-Rama out there. And half of ‘em are dropping French fries right and left!
Here’s my take on my job: Love the tourists! Gotta keep an eye out for their dogs though! This ain’t Fresno, Fido! You may not need protection back in the ‘hood, but there are bloodsucking ticks and mosquitoes here that are gonna wipe that goofy grin off your face. And playing in the surf? Rip currents can take you for a magic carpet ride too you know. Go ahead, take a big sniff of that crab!
So here’s the takeaway lesson: Come to the beach! Come to my boardwalk! We love you here! But “bone” up (ha! pun intended) on what it takes to run with the big dogs here on the Outer Banks.

Truth in advertising? Yeah, I’ve stayed in Village Realty homes several times. Sure, I live in Manteo, but when family and friends come to visit, we pack up and move to the beach for a week. The selection of houses is great and the peeps have a great time. Me? Honestly, I can’t wait to get back to work…I don’t know what Carl does while I’m gone!
Check back later for more Tails On The Waterfront…
