Titanic School Daze!

"Ahh, spring is finally here and the school year is coming to a close!"

"So that's why we have seen so many students! They're skipping school!"

"No, Carter, they are here with their teachers!"

"Well, all I've seen is children and teenagers! Boy, do they love me!"

"And they love learning too! The choirs and orchestras learn about Titanic's musicians, and the classrooms on field trips have studied Titanic in school!"

Remember the group that performed for us, Molly!?

"Oh yes, but nothing beat the choir that sang for us at the Grand Staircase last week! They were angelic!"

"It has been so fun to teach all the little ones fun Titanic facts!"

And to have them touch an iceberg!

"How do you do it, Molly, brrrrr.... it's so cold!"

"Not as cold as the 28 degree water was!"

"They can really imagine what it was like to try to stay out of that water when we do the lifeboat drill."

History comes alive in our interactive gallery!

"And every student loves to hear the story of their passenger! Were they rich or poor? Hero or coward? Saved or lost?"

"We inspire education!"

"That's right, Carter, and that's why we are honoring educators this May!"

Have you been studying Titanic? Would you like to learn more?

We invite all educators to come visit us in May!

"Teacher Appreciation" May 1st - 19th!

Wild Animals!

It's a Jungle Out There!

Don't we look like wild things!?

"Well, Carter, we get to joke around about this, but animals on the loose can really be a danger to your family."

"That's why it is so important to have an Animal Control Officer in your county!"

"We got to visit our Health Department a few days ago to show our appreciation for our local Animal Control Officers!"

"It was so much fun!"

We gave a special gift to Sherry!

"She was so happy that she gave us a kiss!"

That was a great way to say thank you!

"After giving our gift we got to ask Sherry lots of questions!"

"That's right, Carter. She told us all of the important work that they do to help keep people and animals safe."

"Like helping animals that are hurt or left all alone. I would be scared if I was hurt and alone!"

"Me too!"

"Sherry told us that Animal Control also responds to emergencies, and when people call about animals that have no home, they can come and pick them up!"

"Carter and I got to meet some of the animals that they have rescued. They were so nice! They said they were excited to have a family soon!"

Say hello to our little friends!

"Right here in our county, Sherry and her friends have been able to place over 500 animals in rescues and over 200 in homes with families of their own!"

"The adoption rate went from 4% in January 2012 to 60% in December of 2012! Great job to all of you!"

"But, Molly, remember what she said about black dogs?"

"Yes, Carter. We were sad to hear that black dogs have the lowest adoption rate, but happy to hear that our friends work hard to help them get into families."

"They are helping to raise awareness of Black Dog Syndrome! I think black dogs are beautiful!"

So is our Mama Kelli!

"I was surprised that both our Mamas didn't bring home more dogs and cats!"

I thought for sure this would be our new playmate!

"We didn't get a new brother or sister yesterday, but we know how you can bring one of our friends home with you!"

"Carter is right! It's so easy to do! You can go to Pet Finder, or Taney County Health Department, or you can just call Taney County Animal Control!"

"You can even adopt from out of state!"

"Didn't it make you feel good to visit and make so many new friends, Carter?"

"It was very special, Molly, and so are our Animal Control Officers, and all of our friends at the Health Department. They do important work and we are thankful for them!!!"

We hope you are all learning a lot during our 

Pet Education Month! 

Love,

Molly & Carter

Pet Education Month

Who's Your Daddy?

"Carter, wouldn't it be more appropriate to say, 'Who's Your Mama?'"

"Yeah, but I like the sound of 'Who's Your Daddy?' better."

"I like that picture of you giving a high five - and you know it takes a lot for me to say something nice about a picture of you!"

"Well, thank you, Molly. Mama Kelli took that picture. It's just one of the things our Dog Handlers do to take care of us and make us look good!"

"Wasn't it fun to teach the kids about what it takes to be a dog handler?!"

Click Here to read all about it!

"It was great to be a teacher, Molly! I think it could be my second career choice!"

"I'd like to see you in a classroom - I can just imagine all the naps you'd take and all of the kids taking turns petting you. They would never get any work done!"

"Well, I am hard to resist. I think it's my big, brown eyes and my soft fur."

This is the face that makes them fall in love!

"OK, Ms. Beautiful, let's get back to teaching - see what I mean! We're already getting distracted by 'The Teacher.'"

"OK, OK! Hey - did we tell them about our Pet Report?"

"Not yet!"

"Every week we get to sponsor the 106.3 KRZK Pet Report to help connect lost pets to their owners!"

Listen to this week's Pet Report

"We like to do all we can to help our furry friends! That's why we've made April our 'Pet Education Month.'" 

"And we get to teach our readers all about caring for their pets!"

"It is very important to take good care of your dog, cat, fish, bird, or whichever pet you choose to adopt into your family."

"That's right, Molly, and that's why we ask the all important question, 'Who's Your Daddy?'"

"Or, 'Who's Your Mama?'"

"Are YOU a pet parent? If you are then you need to read our fun article about how to care for your pet! Look for it on our Pet Education Page in a few weeks!"

Every pet deserves to be healthy and happy!

"Oh, and Molly, we have to let our readers know about my boyfriend, Brojan."

"Carter, you are really sassy today! And Brojan is not your boyfriend!"

"Well, he might be one day! He is dreamy! I've always loved a man in uniform!"

Brojan is a service dog specializing in mobility and stability!

"And this was our first kiss..."

"Carter! There are children reading this blog!"

"Sorry - it was just such a special moment! (sigh)"

"The point that Carter, the 'Great Teacher,' was supposed to make here is that we interviewed Brojan about what it takes to be a service dog. Look for the interview on our Pet Education Page next week.....Carter....Carter!"

"Huh, what... oh, yes, pets and vets...all very important...is that what we were saying?"

"Yes, Carter, Pet Education Month, remember?"

"Yes. Of course I do! There is so much to learn this month! Be sure to visit our Facebook, web site and, of course, our museum!"

We'll be right here to greet you!

With Puppy Love,

(and Carter has a lot of it!),

Spring Break Blastoff!

Branson is the Place to Be!

And Southwest can now get you here!

  

The Blues Brothers were soooo cool!

"Oh my goodness Carter! Can you believe all the stars we've met in the last week!? We are sure to go far on the radio, on stage - even on film!" 

"I know, Molly, I am star struck! What dreamy guys we met, and everyone was so nice!"

The Cleverly's were tons of fun!

And Clay Cooper was very friendly!

"What about SIX!? Remember when we met them???"

"Of course, Carter! How could I forget all of those colorful shirts!?"

See my big smile? I was a happy girl!

"Molly, do you think the red one ever wants to be blue? Do you think the one in yellow ever just wants to wear purple!?"

"Carter, why must you ask these silly questions! I'm glad you let me do the talking at Silver Dollar City. And thank goodness you didn't wear that ridiculous mask!"

But this is my mean outlaw look - grrrr.......

"But it doesn't fit our image - just ask our publicist."

"What's a publicist?"

"Oh, Carter, you have much to learn about show biz."

"But I just want to be an OUTLAW!"

"OK. Just this once, let's wait on the train tracks and we'll hold up the next train!"

Stop right there, and, um, give us all your dog treats - grrrr....

"Well, I guess you're right, Molly, I don't think we'll get a single treat. We don't look very scary."

"I know. We weren't even brave enough to ride Outlaw Run. It was soo fast, and soo tall, and it had such a big drop."

"I get the chills just thinking about it!"

"Today was a nice day to thaw out those chills though! We are finally blossoming into Spring, and Spring Break is going to be so fun!"

I do really like these pretty flowers and skirts

"And we get to wear them through March! We'll be playing with all of the kids that visit us during Spring Break!"

"Like my friend today! We had so much fun!"

I love my job!

"Oh, Carter, let's not forget to mention that this Sunday is St. Patty's Day, and Monday is the first day to kick off Titanic's Author's Week!"

We invite all of you to come and join us in Branson! Fly Southwest, stop by and visit Silver Dollar City's new Outlaw Run, visit Titanic for our 1st ever Author's Week, or come see us during your Spring Break! 

Branson is the place to be!!

We can't wait to meet you!

Love,

March Madness!

Let the Season Begin!!

Come celebrate Irish Month at the Titanic!

"Why do we celebrate the Irish at Titanic, Molly?"

"Because the magnificent ship was built in Belfast, Northern Ireland by over 14,000 Irishmen, not to mention the many Irish passengers that were on the maiden voyage!"

"Well, I think I'm a wee bit Irish. I'm such a pretty lass in my sparkly green hat!"



How do I look, Molly!?

"You look offensive. Why is your tongue ALWAYS sticking out of your mouth in pictures?"

"Well, I looked up pictures of people on St. Patty's Day, and a lot of them had this happy look on their face! I think I look joyful; like I am ready to dance on some table tops in 3rd class!"

"Well, I hope for my sake that you don't act like that at the VIP event this month!"

"But it will be hard to contain my excitement! Woohoo! We'll be getting a private look at Silver Dollar City's new roller coaster, OUTLAW RUN! I'm gonna dress like an outlaw, ya'll!"

"That's what I was afraid of. Just promise me that you'll act like a lady."

"You got it, partner!"

"Shhh, I might still dress like an outlaw..."

"And, Carter, when we are at the launch party for Southwest, this Saturday, there will be a lot of entertainers and industry people there, so remember that you represent the Titanic!"

"Yes, Mommy, I mean, Molly."

"Well, I am your big sister, and big sisters look out for their little sisters."

"But aren't you excited, Molly? There will be music, food, entertainment, and then we get to watch the first Southwest plane land at Branson Airport! - 'Houston, we are coming in for a landing.'"

"That's NASA, Carter, you know, in HOUSTON, Texas??"

"Oh, ok, how's this..."


BKG - we are coming in for a landing - from Houston.

"Much better; and, they do have daily service to Houston, and also Chicago and Dallas!"

"Yay! I got it right!"

"Well, there IS a lot to remember this month! Branson is almost back in full swing and there is so much to do!"

"Like visit us at Titanic for Author's Week! That's when we get to meet Zoe, Grace, and Jacob, the winning author's from our writing contest!"

"Carter, we should give them a signed copy of our Titanic book!"

"We don't have a Titanic book."

"Oh yeah. Well....how about a signed copy of a picture of us surrounded by Titanic books!?"


I think they would love this one!


"That's a great idea, Molly! Let's do it."

"And let's congratulate Zoe McIntyre, 1st Prize Winner; Gracie Mylenbush, 2nd Prize Winner; and Jacob Westhoff, Honorable Mention. Great job kids! See you in a few weeks!"

Like we said, everybody, there is so much happening in 2013 in Branson!

Stay tuned for more adventures!

With Love,

  Molly & Carter

Headline News!

Extra! Extra! Read All ABout It!

"Carter, my dreams of being a New York Times Bestseller are about to come true!"

"Are you moving to New York to become an author?"

"Even better - we have authors coming to us! Titanic authors! I am going to pitch them my idea of a book about.... THE DOGS OF TITANIC! What do you think!?"

"I think it's brilliant! A never before told story of the heroism, courage and devotion of the dogs aboard the 'Ship of Dreams,' and how it became a nightmare."

"Carter, I will need you to be on your best behavior - these are people who have devoted much of their writing career to telling the story of Titanic."

Can I tell them about Titanic's Maiden Voyage?

"No, Carter, I'm sure they already know about the route Titanic took, the ports of call, the location where she struck the iceberg, etc.... Just smile at them and look pretty."

Oh, but can I show them the Marconi Room!?

"Carter, like I said, they know all about the ship. They know all the rooms, decks, passengers, crew...they are experts on Titanic! That's why I am so excited to meet them!"

Well, let's just see if they know the answer to this question!

"Carter!"

"Ok, ok, Molly, I will be a good girl and I will ask them questions about things I don't know yet!"

"Good. That's why they are here, after all. Everyone who comes to see them will get to have questions answered, books signed, information shared - I AM SO EXCITED!!!"

"I'm excited too, Molly, but the person I am most excited to meet is our winner from the writing contest! The winner will be announced Feb. 28th!"

And we are excited to see all of you too!

Don't miss the boat! Be here March 18th - 23rd!

Your Titanic Mascots,

Molly & Carter
