dogs: In Search of a Perfect Dog - 10/16/11 01:46 PM
Just as there are no perfect people, there is no perfect dog but author Gary Shiebler tells the funny and sometimes heartbreaking stories of all the "less than perfect dogs" that he has shared his life with since he was a child.
As someone who volunteers with our animal rescue groups here in Brevard, NC, and mom to two rescue dogs, Ace and Sunny, I related to so many of the stories Shiebler tells, especially the ones about the dogs he met while working at an animal center. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the stories...and crying through … (6 comments)

dogs: It was Penny's lucky day! - a story of animal rescue in Brevard, NC - 04/21/11 07:14 PM
When the call came in to the volunteers with Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue (CAAR) in Brevard, North Carolina, it wasn’t all that unusual. Like so many of the calls the organization receives, this was a call for help. Someone had found six puppies at the Transylvania County land fill. For the past two years, one of the land fill employees had been trying to gain the trust of an adult female dog who had made the land fill her home. He fed her and bought her a dog house to provide her with better shelter, but he could never gain enough … (3 comments)

dogs: When Clients Do Nice Things - 06/10/10 10:19 AM
We've been working with some out of state buyers for a good long while now. And even though they are stil in the process of putting the pieces together so they can move here, we've become fast friends. When they come to town, we look at homes, but the real fun begins when we get together for dinner. They're just good folks.
They are also dog lovers, like us. Maybe that's one of the reasons we get along so well. The other day, we picked up a package at the office that these folks had sent us, and in it was … (4 comments)

dogs: Winter weather means special care for pets! - 02/15/10 11:29 AM
Cold Weather Animal CareBetween our weekly snows and temperatures in the single-digits, winter has been brutal this year. For animals living outside, sometimes even their fur coats aren't enough to keep them alive. A few simple steps can help protect your animals during cold temperatures. Please review these cold weather tips and keep your pet safe:
• Keep pets inside. If animals can't be inside, provide a warm, comfortable place. Face shelter away from wind and provide a flap or door to help keep the animal's body heat inside. • Bedding is essential. It insulates the animal from the snow and … (0 comments)

dogs: Owner Surrender - Transylvania County Animal Shelter, Brevard NC (Asheville area) - 12/28/09 05:38 PM
This bundle of love needs a hero...fast! Big Boy is what the shelter thinks may be an American Bull Dog /Hound mix who was loved and well cared for by his owner. Sadly, his owner has been hospitalized with health issues and can no longer care for his four-legged friend. Now, through no fault of his own, Big Boy is alone and wondering why his world has suddenly been turned upside down. To make matters worse, since he was surrendered by his owner, Big Boy does not get the usual 5-day pass and can be euthanized at any time. The shelter workers … (3 comments)

dogs: Welcome Ace to the Clay Team - 12/19/09 05:44 PM
A week ago, I learned about 5 dogs that were due to be put down at our local animal shelter. It's a very old, cramped space and when they run out of cages, dogs that can't be rescued or adopted are put down for the sole purpose of freeing up space for other dogs.
Among that group was a young Lab mix that they were calling Harold. We have an affinity for Labs so we knew we couldn't let him be one of those poor dogs that would be put down. So Wednesday, we went to the shelter and rescued him. … (2 comments)

dogs: Looking for a home for Christmas - Animal Rescue in Brevard, NC - 11/20/09 03:07 PM
My name is Charlie!Charlie is a boxer/lab mix, approximately 8 months old. Right now he's about 35 pounds of pure love and affection. He's neutered and up to date on his shots. We're working on learning how to walk on leash, but he is very good at sitting, and playing with his squeaky ball. He loves attention and being with people. But what he really wants for Christmas is his own family.Charlie is just one of many dogs in the Brevard, NC area who have been rescued as strays and deserve to be adopted into a warm loving home they can … (8 comments)

dogs: New mulch can kill dogs! Please read this! - 01/28/09 04:24 PM
Two weeks ago, we lost our wonderful chocolate lab, Abby due to a drug over dose. Now, today, I get this from a fellow dog lover. Please read this and pass it along to everyone else you know who owns a dog.
The Story:
Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog Calypso decided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a … (1 comments)

dogs: Nice People Rock! - 01/14/09 12:20 PM
We all have horror stories about difficult people in our lives, don't we. Well, this isn't one of them. This is about the kind of clients who makes this crazy business worthwhile and restore my faith in humankind.
We have been working with these folks for a while now. They live out of state and have property they need to sell before they can relocate here, but every time they come up, we get together and show them what's new in our market. As client's they're great to work with and when they finally get moved here, I suspect our working … (1 comments)

dogs: IMPORTANT WARNING FOR DOG OWNERS - the final chapter - 01/10/09 09:30 AM
Hi all,A week ago today, Robert left on a trip to St. Louis with Abby, our wonderful, lovable 13 year chocolate Lab. At 7:30 a.m. this morning we lost her. After everything that happened in St. Louis, I am so grateful that Robert was able to get her home so I could be with her on the last days. (Some of you are aware of what happened. If you aren't, read the story below...especially if you have dogs). Thursday, the first night home, we decided to have her stay at an emergency care center to make sure she was, in fact, … (7 comments)

dogs: IMPORTANT WARNING FOR DOG OWNERS - 01/08/09 08:04 AM
This has nothing to do with Real Estate. But if you are a dog lover like we are, please read this. I'm going to try and hit the high points so this doesn't become too lengthy.
Robert left Saturday for a trip to St. Louis for a family visit and because of my crazy schedule, he decided to take Abby, our 13 year old chocolate Lab with him. He is driving back today and Abby's life hangs in the balance.
Being a senior citizen, Abby has been experiencing pretty typical issues for her age. She's been a bit congested and we … (6 comments)

dogs: It's My Birthday Today! - 12/22/08 08:47 AM
Today I turned another year older. Another page on the calendar gone. It's not so bad, though. Several friends have already called with best wishes for the day, others sent e-cards, and Robert and I are going out for one of our favorite dinners - mussels and salad at Carrabas. But here's the thing....this morning I realized that this oh-so special day also put me over the top and into another age bracket with people who are way older than me! I mean seriously, the people in this age group, are...well...old! I can't be "their" age, can i?Sure, there are days … (4 comments)
