During the early 90's I enjoyed the exploits of "Toonces the Driving Cat" sketch on Saturday Night Live. the sketch in the link was typical of the antics of Toonces and his addled human "parents" Lyle and Brenda (Dana Carvey and Victoria Jackson.) It is worth enjoying if you have a … (1 comments)
An Active Rain poster asked me to post photos of these guys cuddled up - aren't they adorable? I'm such a proud mama!
I can't imagine my life without my wife. In recent months I came to know a woman named Sher who runs House with a Heart (www.housewithaheart.com). Their mission is to care for senior dogs that have been turned into shelters either by owners or as strays and give them a loving … (0 comments)
Those of you that have read my heart wrenching story about my dog Roscoe will understand that although he is just a dog ...he's mans best friend. Hek.... he's my best friend!
It's no secret that the majority of the talk surrounding the real estate market nation wide is negative speak. How do you handle it? Do you participate and bemoan your situation? Do you hide behind a big smile and say everything is great? Or, do you...
Ok, I seem to be the joker lately. I just got this in an email and couldn't resist sending it. It made me crack up...People are so creative...No matter what situations life throws at you... No matter how long and treacherous your journey may seem... Remember, there is a light at … (21 comments)
Our sweet Goldador (Half Golden Retriver, half Labrador) was being trained for the Canine Companions for Independence, but was released before she completed her training because it appeared she may develop hips dysplasia. We were lucky enough to have been selected to be her permanent parents.
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a … (24 comments)

The other day, I came home from showing houses to be greeted by Willie the hyper-active Labradoodle puppy and his thousand-mile-an-hour tail. And I have to say, when he greets me like that, my heart skips a beat. I just love this doggy. For the past few weeks, after his return … (9 comments)
I have to admit- I LOVE my dog. He is my later in life child. I had an Elkhound for 16 yrs who was my first "baby". My Breeze gets all of the benifts of the feelings we had for Woog- plus all the love he would have had anyway. 
Even though I would never do it, someone once told me that a Labrador Retreiver is so forgiving, that if you popped one in the head with a 2x4, it wouldn't think twice about still loving you to death.. ...Simply put .....Labs could possibly be the most forgiving mammal on the planet. They just … (7 comments)
Seattlites love their pets. But, alas, it is not that easy to make a search for pet owners who want to buy a condominium. Our MLS here in the Northwest has several options for a listing on the issue of pets:No cats. No dogs. No dogs or cats. No restrictions. Subject to … (1 comments)
Pets. Dogs, cats, fish and guinea pigs just to name a few. They all quickly become members of our families, with all of their qualities. Some family members leave socks around the house, some of our pets leave chew toys and catnip.
Today our local Humane Society had a different kind of open house. They gave tours of the facility, a no kill shelter, and had booths for the bake sale, plant sale, dog sitters, dog party organizers, etc - but the best was the puppy kissing booth - my son asked if … (1 comments)
At least 102 dogs, cats and assorted livestock were recently saved from an illegal kennel. The owners say they have the proper licenses but the ploice siezed the animals until it can all be sorted out. The animals lacked a license or vaccinations and were in poor condition. The kennels were … (0 comments)
Crestline is the home of Lake Gregory one of the most beautiful places in our mountains. You can walk for free all around the lake. It takes one hour. You will pass others doing this same wonderful walk. It is a time for reflection , to enjoy the beauty, to quiet … (0 comments)
I bought my dog from a breeder and I sure don't remember paying any sales tax....
This is one of the saddest new developments happening these days!
It seems that lately I've heard more and more reports in the news about dogs being stolen from backyards, breeder's homes and parked cars. Because thefts often target purebred dogs, Lisa Peterson, Spokesman for the American Kennel Club will appear on NBCs Today Show tomorrow at about 8:15a.m. to discuss the rise … (21 comments)
The family dog started shedding more the past couple days. So it was time to get our my new secret weapon. Over the winter we bought a product called THE FURMINATOR from Petco. It was 30-40 bucks but I tell you it is the best dog groomer I have ever used. You'll be amazed … (10 comments)
Dogs are the greatest. They are always excited to see us, they love us unconditionally, and they are an endless source of entertainment and amusement. But what do you do when you go to work and/or have to be away from the house for hours at a time? We've found the answer: Happy … (0 comments)
I was at an event recently. The food was UBELIEVABLE, the drinks were flowing, and the guests were enthusiastic. I had to compliment one guy's choice of shirts - very subdued but covered with martini glass images. So appropriate to this occasion and so little thought needed as to "what to wear". Simplification is SO … (14 comments)
This weekend at the Richmond Raceway Complex, abc Petwear will be there with the latest in bandanas! They have prints that will suit almost anyone and to fit most cats and dogs! Keep your "other" family member in style!

It is the last Sunday of the month of March and it is a rainy, cold day. Not a great day for House Hunting with clients in the Wilmington, NC real estate market. Not that I had anyone lined up to huntwith. My friend has weekend duty and she just called … (4 comments)
On Saturday, April 5, 2008, 2nd chance Animal Shelter will be holding a dog adoption event in the parking lot at Lonnie's Market on the corner of Highway 95 and 1st Ave S in Payette. The dogs will all be from the inmate training program at Snake River Correctional Institute. All the dogs … (0 comments)
She was the cutest darn puppy I had laid my eyes on in a long time. I didn't know very much about the new 'hybrid' breed, but she's cute so it didn't matter. In December of 2006, we had to put my best friend, Charles, to sleep. He was the … (22 comments)
So, I joined Active Rain about the middle of January. I have been hooked ever since. I admit it I have spent more than my fair share of time here on AR. When I first joined I looked through the groups and thought what groups do I join? There are only about 3400 … (24 comments)
I have been busy these last few months attending a few township meetings across the state to help prevent BSL =Breed specific legislation. Thanks to the media most of you think scary thoughts when you hear the word "Pit Bull". To be honest I once thought the same thing several years … (32 comments)
It's just another dreary day in St. Charles County. We are all waiting for spring. There are hints of it as the Tulips are starting to sprout and the trees are starting to bud out. Looking at them makes me think of another great St. Charles County Park and why it's … (0 comments)
I couple of years ago I sold a house to a couple who were young and could barely afford anything. He was an aspiring children's pastor, and his wife was still finishing college. I asked them if they would be willing to get something that needed "TLC", and they said that … (0 comments)
My Parner in Crime..
If you are renting property you need to consider what your pet policy is. Did you know that approximately 60% of the population has a pet? If you do not take pets, you are instantly reducing your pool of tenants down to 4 out of 10 people!
The wildflowers are blooming and the temperature is climbing. The Kern River Valley in the spring is a great place to fish, boat, play tennis, snow ski or windsurf. Our economy is based mostly on tourism from all of these activities. Since our property prices are less affected by the pressure … (0 comments)
Well, as many of you know, I wrote a post the other night about a little girl Beagle that found her way into our home. She was claimed by her human, so we were a little brokenhearted. To say the least.
Thought you may want to have some information to share with clients who are moving with their pets. Feel free to copy this and hand it out. It was written by my husband a Veterinarian who hears all the pet moving stories.
OUCH!!! He got me! Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, a dog will bite. If you do suffer a bite, get to water and wash the wound immediately. This will decrease the chance of infection. Seek medical care as soon as possible. If it was your own dog that bit … (17 comments)
About nine years ago my husband and I decided to get a dog. Both of us hadn't owned one, or been owned by one for years. So we did our due diligence and start hunting for that perfect pooch. We did not want an outdoor dog. We wanted someone with us … (9 comments)
I recently discovered that I was middle aged and had been doing the same work for almost 30 years. For the life of me I don't know how that happened! Now I'm blogging (at least until the internet powers that be determine that there is a mandatory retirement age of 40 … (1 comments)
I love dogs. Dogs love me. Or, at least, I used to think they did...
Your animal is special, an old friend, been with you thru thick and thin. You are buying a Houlton Maine property, what about Fluffy? Fluffy and you will sleep better nights knowing if you need a vet, Houlton Maine has a good selection of caring, qualified people. Animal Hospital Of Houlton … (2 comments)
Whether you're a dog person, a cat person, or both - I think you'll find the following amusing!
If you're listing with a real estate agent, you will likely be asked to leave when the house is shown. I know that "there's no place like home" but, even if your agent doesn't suggest it, you should make sure you are not home. Take "Spot" and the kids for a … (5 comments)
Teddy Bear and "Minnie Me" Teddy BearThe little dog is my niece's miniature Chihuahua. We're watching her while my niece is recuperating from having a C-Section baby delivery.I never really was a dog kind of person, but my wife is an animal magnet. She'd have a zoo in our house if … (3 comments)

I was watching the news the other day ~ the subject caught my eyes. With foreclosures in the rise, many families are packing up and leaving their pets behind. The animal shelters are overwhelmed with the number of abandoned pets brought on by families going through foreclosures. They are reaching out … (13 comments)
A few months ago we learned that my dog Annabelle was suffering from bladder stones. She had been getting multiple bladder infections and they took some x-rays to find out what may be causing them. Much to our dismay, she had many stones in her bladder that were causing the infections. … (0 comments)
If you can see my photo, you know I love dogs (I'm the Broker, he's the barker)... so don't take this the wrong way. My miniature schnauzer Clyde is a typical, excitable smaller breed dog. If I was to sell my home, I would make sure Clyde was properly crated or … (8 comments)
You know everyone talks about stress and how to relax....I say "Get a Dog!" My dog Gizmo actually comes to work with me on most days and it 's interesting whether I am at the office or the at my model home I catch others stopping by to pet Gizmo or … (3 comments)
For some reason, I keep attracting dog lovers. Maybe that's because I am a pet-friendly REALTOR® and dog lover myself. I hop in the car with families and their poodles, beagles, hounds and mutts. I take dog biscuits with me to my listing appointments. I carry dog goodies in my glove box. Once … (8 comments)
I have a new addiction. The Dog Park at Berkeley Park - around 46th & Yates. 
LOL!, 
Does anyone out there raise or know of a good breeder of Sheba Inu's? I have my two Springers, but am looking to get another dog. I saw one today at a business meeting I went to. It reminded me that I always wanted one and should look into it. I felt … (5 comments)
Co-existing with pets in a clean, nicely-decorated and damage-free environment can certainly be achieved. All it takes is a little work, innovation and compromise. But, in comparison, is well worth the extra effort for the unconditional love and affection we receive in return. 
I received this in an email this morning and wanted to share it with the rest of you pet lovers! If you live with cats and dogs...you can really appreiciate this.
His name was Speck. My dad had fallen in love with the skinny white dog with one black dot. The neighbors were holding him for their daughter while she relocated. As weeks turned to months, the dog had outlasted its welcome at the neighbors house (a wonder as they had so … (15 comments)
A while back I posted a blog about my dog Beaufort and included a picture of him as a baby. Well...here is the picture of him now - at 11 months and 95 pounds - and I sure hope is not going to grow anymore! The only problem is that Beaufort … (7 comments)
I had a thought (always a danger sign, according to my wife!)...Practically every real estate agent in the country is number one... #1... in something. And then, I see in the results of the Westminster Kennel Club Show that for the first time ever (and they had 130 chances before this … (9 comments)
This week my dog Fritz has a playmate coming over, my father's dog Senta. Fritz is a Golden Retriever who loves playing in the water, while Senta, the Doberman, does not. Fritz tried to show her the joys of splashing and rolling in puddles, but Senta felt it was beneath … (2 comments)
Foreclosure Dogs are becoming big news. Man's best friend is quickly becoming an expendable commodity to some as people are losing their homes to the credit crunch. Regardless of what the circumstances were for the foreclosure, it's not the pet's fault, and now many of them are finding themselves facing euthanization. … (7 comments)
Innocent animals who look to their owner's for care are being left behind to fend for themselves in abandoned homes. Some left out in the cold, tied or staked out, not given the chance to forge for themselves. Yes these are the most recent victims of foreclosures. 
Pedigree dog foods will make a $1 donation to the Pedigree Adoption Drive for each dog photo included in their Million Dog Mosaic. Uploading your dog's photo is free and you will get a code to help you easily find your dog.
