☕ Good morning, Long Island!

🇺🇸 I hope you all had a nice and relaxing Memorial Day — and attended a parade in remembrance of our fallen heroes.

🌥️ Today we'll be looking at increasing clouds with a high near 72.

🐕 And, we've got some canine news.

✍🏼 Feel free to respond to this email with feedback!

If you're planning a vacation, don't worry about your pups; they'll be in great hands at the Barkgata Luxury Dog Hotel, now with two locations on Long Island. (Or scroll down to book a doggie flight.)

First, coyotes are spreading across Long Island; here’s what to expect

🗞️ The Eastern Coyote is here to stay on Long Island, and its population is expanding into Suffolk and southern Nassau County. Here's what to know — along with some amazing photos and video, all from Long Island.

Second, Fur real! You can now fly with your dog from Farmingdale

🐾 A new dog-friendly airline went paws up this week with its first flights, including service between Republic Airport and the Chicago, Denver, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Los Angeles metropolitan areas. And if you do the comparative math, these flights are shockingly affordable.

Third, this tiny West Islip home has hit the market for a cool half-million

🏡 You know what's not affordable? Long Island real estate. Check out this one-bedroom, one-bath cottage in West Islip that measures just 600 square feet. The asking price? A buck under $500,000.

🚨 A man’s body was discovered Sunday afternoon, floating in a backyard pool in East Shoreham, just as the homeowner removed the cover.

👨🏼‍🎓 👨🏼‍🎓 For the first time in school history, Mount Sinai High School’s valedictorian and salutatorian are twins.

🏈 Tom Brady was swarmed by fans in East Hampton Friday.
