Happy Memorial Day! How was your weekend!
‌
Despite the bouts of torrential downpours, we had a fun weekend glamping at @bennersmeadowrun and exploring the Laurel Highlands! 𝘞𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯!!
‌
10 MILLION tons of rock. 2,600+ tons of explosives. And one of the 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁.
‌
If you’ve driven I-68 through Western Maryland, chances are you’ve seen 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹 — but do you know the story behind it?
‌
For centuries, this mountain ridge blocked travelers moving west. Early settlers had a tough choice: go 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 the mountain… or go 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 it. Either route was dangerous.
‌
Originally called “Side Long Hill,” the mountain was dramatically transformed in the 1980s when engineers chose to cut through it instead of tunneling beneath it.
‌
The result? One of the most impressive geological road cuts in the country. 🌎⛰️
‌
🔹 4.5-mile road cut
🔹 340 feet deep
🔹 10 MILLION tons of rock removed
🔹 Rock layers dating back 340–365 million years
🔹 Giant visible rock fold (syncline) + marine fossils showing this region was once underwater!
‌
And the best part? It’s completely FREE to visit.
‌
📍Sideling Hill Welcome Center
3000 Sideling Hill, Hancock, MD
𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘳 74
‌
The eastbound side has picnic tables + a pedestrian bridge crossing over I-68, while the westbound side features scenic overlooks with picnic tables, a Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and mountain views. 𝘉𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮𝘴 + 𝘱𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴.
‌
🚗 Approximate drive times:
• Frederick, MD – ~1 hr
• Hagerstown, MD – ~35 min
• Baltimore, MD – ~2 hrs
• Washington, DC – ~2 hrs
• Morgantown, WV – ~1.5 hrs
• Laurel Highlands, PA – ~1.5 hrs
• Pittsburgh, PA – ~2 hrs
• Cumberland, MD – ~40 min
‌
This may be one of Maryland’s most underrated roadside attractions!
‌
Have you ever stopped here — or just driven past? 👀

Happy Dog Mom Day to all my fellow pet parents ❤️🐾

I’m the proud owner of two adorable rescues….Lola is a retriever/terrier mix we adopted as a puppy from @rescuesmallmiracles animal shelter in Ellicott City, Maryland. Her mom was rescued from a kill shelter in the South.

And our chiweenie mix Skipper (properly known as Lulworth Skipper + formerly known as Rufus + Rascal) was adopted when he was around 2 thru @operationpawsforhomes, a strictly foster-based rescue in MD, DC, PA + VA. He was a stray + previously lived in Paris (Tennessee)!

Wanna be a pet mom? Adopt, don’t shop! Petfinder.com makes it easier to find the perfect match near you! Specify breed, temperament, age, ability to get along with kids/cats/dogs, etc… and the app will locate the perfect pet! ❤️🐾

BIG NEWS! 🦈

Maryland is about to make history… the 𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻 is becoming our 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸! 👀

As of April 2026, the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation to designate the prehistoric Otodus megalodon as the state shark—making Maryland the first state in the U.S. to do it!

And honestly… it’s the perfect pick 👇

🦷 This massive shark once swam in Maryland waters millions of years ago
📍 Fossilized teeth are still found today along Calvert Cliffs + across the state
📚 The goal? Boost tourism + inspire STEM learning for kids
🦈 It could grow up to 𝟴𝟬 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 (𝘺𝘦𝘴… 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘯 😳)

Want to see something REALLY cool?

At the National Aquarium in Baltimore, you can actually step inside a life-size megalodon jaw replica—and the teeth inside are REAL fossils! 🤯

It’s one of the coolest photo ops for kids (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵… 𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰!)

📸 Fun fact: Those teeth were discovered by diver Vito Bertucci, also known as “Megalodon Man,” right here on the East Coast.

Don’t be confused — I have 𝗡𝗢𝗧 turned into a cat person 😅🐾
‌
This photo actually has a pretty incredible story behind it. With the help of a neighbor, we safely trapped this sweet, friendly cat after seeing him wandering our neighborhood. We scanned for a microchip, but none was found — a reminder that microchipping is one of the BEST ways to protect your pet if they ever get loose.
‌
We searched everywhere for an owner: flyers, neighborhood posts, and listings on @pawboost and @petcolovelost… but no one came forward.
‌
Sadly, we couldn’t keep him due to allergies and our other pets. My neighbor was already maxed out after rescuing several cats during the winter cold, but somehow she miraculously found an amazing adopter for the cat we had started calling “Friday.” 🧡
‌
After living here for more than 20 years, we’ve never seen so many stray cats in one winter. I learned a LOT through this experience — especially that many indoor/outdoor cats aren’t spayed or neutered. Even indoor cats can escape, and one unexpected adventure can quickly lead to litters of kittens needing homes.
‌
Meanwhile, local shelters are already overwhelmed with cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens waiting for families.
‌
Today is World Spay Day — a reminder that spaying and neutering helps far beyond preventing unwanted litters.
‌
✨ Best timing:
• Cats: about 4–6 months (𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦)
• Dogs: typically 6–12 months depending on breed and size — ask your vet what’s best.
‌
Additional benefits include:
✔ Longer, healthier lives
✔ Prevention of certain cancers & infections
✔ Less roaming and fewer injuries
✔ Reduced spraying/marking behaviors
✔ Lower aggression linked to hormones
✔ Helps reduce overcrowded shelters
‌
Please do your part. One small decision can make a lifelong difference for pets and our community. 💛

Calm Car Ride Must-Have for Anxious Dogs

Car rides with pups don’t have to mean pacing, panting, or stress. These Zesty Paws Calming OraStix have been a game changer for helping our dogs stay relaxed while also freshening their breath (because… car kisses 😅).

✔️ Dual-action calming + dental support
✔️ Features Suntheanine (clinically studied L-Theanine)
✔️ Includes melatonin, chamomile, valerian root & magnesium
✔️ Helps support normal stress in nervous or hyper pups
✔️ Peppermint dental complex for fresher breath

We love that they support calm behavior and healthy teeth and gums at the same time. Perfect before road trips, vet visits, or any stressful situation.

Sharing the exact ones we use here 👇🐶

🐾 Meet Pedro & Luis! 🐾

We did a Dog’s Day Out with this sweet bonded pair of chihuahuas and it was so difficult to take them back to the shelter!

They are waiting for their FURever home at 𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘦 in Ellicott City!
‌
If you’re interested in adopting or know someone that is, please share this! 💛
‌
Not ready to adopt? You can still make a difference through Fido Field Trips!

The next one is this coming Sunday February 15th! Take a shelter dog out for a walk, park adventure, or cozy couch snuggle—it’s a break from the shelter and a chance for them to shine outside the kennel. 🐕✨
