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.And not only were we upset, but our hairy four-legged son … (17 comments)
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)
Sometimes its just fun to post something that has nothing to do with real estate. Since dogs are one of my passions, a friend sent me this story in an email:

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)

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. Why do I say "addiction?" Because... imagine the collective energy of 100+ happy dogs racing around the (fenced-in) park, with their 100+ owners proudly overlooking the scene. It's a rush. Probably something like the rush … (1 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.

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.
