In the Waukesha County Real Estate market someone recently asked me "How can you always give that dog Lars of yours center stage and why do think the world of that dog so much,you do everything with that dog? You think he's your best friend or something." It only took a moment and I politely replied "You don't have a dog, do you?" I had a chance to talk with my friend Kristin Johnston Re/Max  who I have the pleasure of working with. The great thing about Kristin is when you know you need help with something you are going to get help from someone that is always going to accomplish the job. Point-Blank, Period, next project, get it done attitude. I was thinking about attitudes pretty much all morning and after talking to Kristin it hit me like a lead balloon. I was thinking about time management and what would be a great example of someone that can conquer much. Well, that answer is Kristin. I wanted to write this post because I may have not given as much thanks to people like Kristin that are out there everyday fighting with their heart and soul to stop things that are wrong, and they do it with such a passion that it radiates. For those of you that may not know entirely Kristin is one of the greatest animal advocates you could ever meet. Every cat, dog, and lots of other animals have a voice in her. Oh yes, did I mention in her "spare time" she regularly volunteers at the local Waukesha County Humane Animal Welfare Society? Support this cause for Kristin Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha County and read her blog Kristin Johnston's Southeastern Wisconsin Blog

 It wasn't to long ago I had to worry bout Lars for something I had to go through again. I was worried, very worried, and low and behold Kristin called me twice a day saying "don't worry buddy he will be taken care of." Kristin does not talk bad others, never throws anyone under a bus, does not write blog posts to put others down or include tasteless ego approaches. She has decent morals, ethics, and practices that would have me say that anyone that works with her they are in good hards. Read her posts; they are postive, upbeat, and with cause.This is a high quality Waukesha County real estate agent that sells Waukesha Real Estate with pride and anyone wanting or in need of buying a home in Waukesha She's not out to shovel more manure for people to have to read, and tell someone how great they are; people see right throw that. When you have someone like Kristin you always have honesety,caring,morels, ethics, and you never had doubt that she is all class.She is just Kristin; kind, good, caring, and hard working. You can find plenty where you really have to question their own morals,ethics, and BS that they put out in their sign of weakness, but Kristin is a broker that I will always look up to, I know and trust her 100%, and we have a great respect for each other. When we talk it is with sincerity.

Tom- I currently have two dogs. My sons 5 year old mix and my rottie Sampson.

 

I was recently visiting my brother in Indiana. He and his wife run a dog resue out of their 10 acre home. They currently have 18. 11 of them in the home. They nurse the sick ones back to health and then find them good homes. It's a great cause.

 

Dogs Rule!

good morning Tom,

Although I've never met her or gotten to know her too well here on AR, Kristin always leaves wonderful and kind comments on my posts and I know in my heart she is a one of those rare individuals who is very compassionate, empathic, kind, trustworthy and hardworking all rolled into one.

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with someone slandering you.....I don't understand people who feel a need to put others down, it only makes themselves look even worse. I hope it all passes quickly...

So good to hear from you; it all passed, just don't understand why it has to be this way sometimes.

Krisitn is a charming person and really easy to work with. I admire her involvement in always taking care of animals.
