Featured Palo Alto Dog Friendly Homes of the Week March 1, 2008 · No Comments 355 Channing is a beautiful, two story single family home in Channing Park. It is less than four years old and looks like the owner has hardly lived in it. The downstairs has lovely hardwood floors which makes cleaning so much easier when there are dirty paws. The home is walking distance to downtown Palo Alto and the best part is that it has two small parks on either side where dogs are allowed on leash. After a long day at the office, having a park a few steps away where you … (0 comments)

- 03/02/08 06:12 AM
Has your home gone to the dogs? If so there are five ways to freshen up your home and make your living environment more attractive. Remove wall to wall carpeting and replace with hardwood floors. Carpeting traps fur and oils and is easily stained. Hardwood floors are easy to clean and keep your home looking fresh especially during the winter. Repaint your walls with a gloss paint such as Benjamin Moore Regal Matte finish. This is a new line of paint that combines the rich, deep look of a flat paint with the washability of a gloss. Flat finish paints are difficult … (1 comments)

djuna woods: Got a water dog?
- 02/02/08 05:59 AM
Lake Lagunita is the perfect place to take your water dog to romp. Seemingly overnight Lake Lagunita transformed from a dry lake with a puddle of water in the middle to a full sized lake. Yesterday when I was there a family was out in a row boat enjoying a ride around the lake. At about 5:00 pm it was as if a silent Lab call went out because people with their Labs started streaming to the lake from every direction. The dogs were delighted. They charged into the water, chased each other on the shore and ran after the Canadian geese clustered … (1 comments)
djuna woods: A Dog Friendly Neighborhood is No Joke
- 01/31/08 04:56 AM
I often get mocking smiles when I tell people I am a dog friendly Realtor. Yesterday one of the agents in my office walked by my desk barking. However, most dog owners know that having a dog friendly Realtor and finding a dog friendly neighborhood is no joke. When I talk with dog owners about my business, I frequently hear stories about dog hating neighbors that ruin people's lives. Just today I heard a story about a woman who was walking her dog in her neighborhood when she saw a pit bull behind a fence in a neighbor's yard. Before she knew it … (3 comments)

djuna woods: California Thomson Law Regarding Pet Restrictions
- 01/11/08 04:15 AM
One of the questions I frequently get from clients is about the legality of pet restrictions in CC&Rs. When searching for a dog friendly condo complex it is important to study the CC&Rs of the Homeowners Association. Look closely at when the CCR&S were adopted and if there are any revisions. According to the Thompson bill no common interest development governing document created, entered into, modified or renewed on or after January 1, 2001 may prohibit a homeowner from having one pet. Since this law is not retroactive, it is important to look for the date of adoption or modification. If … (1 comments)
djuna woods: Dog Friendly Doesn’t Always Mean Dog Friendly
- 01/05/08 09:07 AM
A client, who moved out of state, called today to tell me about her new home and an issue she is having with the condo association. She and her dog moved into a dog friendly condo complex. One of her neighbors has a large, aggressive dog that he allows to run loose. According to my client the condo association has not done anything other than write a letter to the owner asking him to keep his dog leashed. She is worried about her and her dog's safety. She asked me if there was anything she could do. I suggested she consult an attorney. Sometimes … (0 comments)
