Lickety Split is Mountain Laurel Inn B&B’s new greeter. She will be inside at the glass door waiting to greet you. She is a bit prissy. She never had the opportunity to meet Baxter but she has done a good job of stepping into his paws. Lickety moved to Mentone from the Atlanta area on July 6, 2006. Sarah and Lickety met that day at Canine Assistants in Alpharetta, Georgia. Canine Assistants is a wonderful program that trains dogs to assist wheelchair bound and stroke victims. See their website for more information at http://www.canineassistants.org.

Lickety Split is a 2 year old Golden Retriever that is full of life and enjoys having guests. Sarah was told that Lickety Split was so named due to splitting her lip on a crate lock. However, this is debatable. She demonstrated her lightening fast speed on several occasions. The first time was nine days after she arrived when she spooked herself as she saw her reflection in the sliding glass door. She took off with the leash banging behind her and scaring her even more. She ran in circles trying to get away from the leash then she took off down to the main road. It was three days before she returned home. Fortunately, she has realized that the pretty dog in the reflection is her friend. When you come to Mountain Laurel Inn B&B, you will quickly notice that her enjoyment of attention prevented her from being a perfect candidate for Canine Assistants. That was too serious of a life for her happy head. If you haven’t done so already come to Mountain Laurel in Mentone and meet sweet Lickety Split. She will be so glad that you are here especially if you rub her tummy.
