February Editor's Note
SAVANNAH SMILES The February issue found us looking for inspiration in Savannah. We thought it was the perfect backdrop for a Runaway Bride to find love again – River Street and City Market provided a stunning scene on a sunny Sunday afternoon in January. Our stylist…
Unknown
Unknown (inspired by the movie “HER”) And in that moment. It wasn’t about something you could see or touch, But in what you feel. It was everything and nothing you had in common with one soul. A leap of faith into the unknown. Something unexpected and different, But it felt so right.. so I jumped. And as…
Being Better: The Benefits of Getting Comfortable Outside Your Comfort Zone
Is the road less traveled your home address? Do your friends and family expect the unexpected from you? Would you describe yourself as confident, brave and fulfilled? If your answers are yes, yes, and yes, then you are a rare bird. You most likely have…
Tiny Tot Fashion
Oh Baby, The Ultimate Modern Nursery
According to The New York Times, the most common birthday is September 16, and if you do the math, you realize it wasn’t just the fireplace getting hot over the holiday season. Over 9 percent of all babies are conceived in the month of December,…

8th Annual Beaufort International Film Festvial

Runaway Bride
C2's Pet Contest Winner!
Meet Bonnie, the winner of CH2’s 4th Annual Most Adorable Pet Contest When Monica Collins was paired up with a little blind pup for Noah’s Ark’s participation in last year’s Earth Day event, their fate together was sealed. “I just fell in love with her,” remembered…
Allergies and the Itchy Pet
Dogs and cats can have allergies just like people. Instead of runny noses, sneezing, and congestion, allergies in pets can cause itchy skin. All that scratching, biting, and licking can lead to secondary skin and ear infections. There are three types of allergies: flea, food…
Cold Weather and Old Pets
We all notice it as we get older. The cold weather feels like it is seeping into our bones, making all those old injuries moan and groan. It’s the same for our four legged family members. They just don’t tell us as clearly. How can you…
Internet Pet Pharmacies: A Blessing or A Scourge?
It happens thousands of times in our nation every day. A pet owner receives a package in the mail with pet medications in it. Or maybe they come home from the “big box” store with some flea medication they got at a “great” price. What…
Movin' On Up (to the North, that is)
Animals who find themselves housed at the county shelter in Beaufort face a dire fate: death by lethal injection if they remain unclaimed after a five-day holding period. Many still undergo euthanasia, of course, but an aggressive recent collaboration between Beaufort Animal Control Services, the…
The Rebirth of the Bluffton Dog Park
As the huge blade of the bush hog sucked the underbrush into its cavity and quashed, cut and diced it into mulch, a few acres of overgrown vegetation off of Buckwalter Parkway in Bluffton soon produced an outline that one day would be the Bluffton…

Island Plumbing of Hilton Head: Giving Back with Words of Widsom
When the dust settles after a do-it-yourself project or home repair, many have murmured, whispered, or shouted, “The next time I will hire a professional” … and for good reason. Professionals have the training, experience, and tools, not to mention the insurance, to take on…
February 2014: Mayors
Observations of a Mayor The greatest professional honor of my life was being elected as your mayor. Being mayor means you enjoy a unique seat at the table. You see and hear most of the table conversation. Though I came to the office with considerable community…
Line in the Sand: CH2'S Person of the Year
In mid-December I needed a mental health break and decided to go into work late and have a little me time, which basically amounts to a leisurely walk with the dog, a full cup of coffee (not three slurps before rushing out the door) and…
Back in Circulation
The spine is quite literally an epicenter of our well-being, providing the body with the support it needs to stand upright and to bend and twist, all while protecting the spinal cord—the super-highway through which every nerve signal passes, carrying instructions for our daily physical…

Indeed. To know the love of a dog is to know true, unconditional love. As I sit to write this, in addition to a laptop, my lap is also draped with a blanket of a black and a yellow Labrador—a black and white cookie of…
Tails of Success
The feral cats of Hilton Head are seemingly everywhere, wandering freely outside island homes and businesses, while providing vermin control and stress-relieving visual distractions for locals and visitors alike. While the roaming animals remain wild and only rarely cotton to human contact, they unknowingly rely on…
