An Active Rain poster asked me to post photos of these guys cuddled up - aren't they adorable? I'm such a proud mama!
An annual inspection will protect you and your resident from safety and financial liabilities. Since some residents remove smoke alarm batteries, this is a chance to verify that the alarm(s) is both working properly and that it is placed in the proper location(s). Also, many residents do not faithfully change … (7 comments)

While working for a recent client I found myself working with the family cat who lives there. This cute little firball was an important member of the family who apparently was not consulted beforehand on the project.

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.
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.
I had the oppurtunity to meet a fellow dog lover through one of the sites that I am a member of. She has her own site at www.sugarykisses.com and has the cutest little 2 year old dog that you have ever seen. If you get a chance, swing by her site … (18 comments)

How many of you have struggled with clients about their pet paraphenalia? It's not difficult to put away the toy basket, clear the floor of pigs ears, bones and catnip mice. The real problem comes with the dog crates (usually LARGE) and the litterbox. Oversized dog beds and cat jungle-gyms and … (27 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’s hard to believe it’s time for America’s Family Pet Expo to come to town again. I’ve participated for 7 or 8 years now, and can tell you first hand, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon. Actually, the afternoons get really crowded (think wall-to-wall people) so if you … (3 comments)
Pets. We love them if we own them, they're our babies and a part of the family. However when selling, they become a different story when others will be entering and previewing your property.

Images from the aftermath of hurricane Katrina of pets being taken from their owners during evacuation are disturbing and heartbreaking.

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.
Most of us have experienced at least once a visit to a property where conditions were offensive because of the homeowners pets, but I cannot even imagine what it was like when animal rescue workers entered a mobile home in rural Arizona intent on seizing an elderly couple's close to 800 … (26 comments)

I just got home from showing a bunch of houses in my favorite champagne-taste, beer-budget neighborhoods, and one of them looked amazing on the MRIS. 
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. 
Austin is a dog loving town. Along with the dog friendly restaurants, and dog related businesses, Austin is home to several dog parks. While San Antonio and Ft. Worth offer one dog park each, and Houston and Dallas have two, Austin boasts twelve official dog parks in the city limits.

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. 
Thought this might be a fun way to end the week.
Hopefully, you've been seeing my page and know that I'm a REALTOR®. I was just going through my 2007 files to decide which ones will stay active and which ones I need to move over to the "sleeping" file. (Never dead, only sleeping.) I came across an old ad that had … (1 comments)

It's 5 degrees outside here in Dublin, Ohio with windchills expected to be 0 or below. I guess this is what you call "The Dead of Winter"!
Dogs are people too. Well, to some folks they are. And to most people their pets are part of the family (just as my Yuki is). Today I want to talk about some considerations when buying or renting a home if pets are part of the family.
