My idea was to use the owner's daughter's dog in the listing photos to demonstrate that the Woodley Park Towers condominium is VERY pet friendly. I asked my sellers to make sure that Joshua, this lovely rescued italian grey hound, would be there for the photographer when the listing photos were taken today. I wanted to give the message that dogs were welcome in this pre World War II condo - a rarity in DC where most older buildings prohibit four legged members of the family. Here in DC, if you want a dog, go live in a new building with small boxy rooms and no architectural interest. If you want elegant living, forget your dog - except at the Woodley Park Towers - right on Connecticut Avenue, near the Zoo, shops and restaurants, in Woodley Park.
My owner misunderstood my instructions to have Joshua there at 1 this afternoon, and Joshua arrived an hour late, when the photos were finished, but the photographer is a good sport and agreed to add a few photos of Joshua. A few shots of the elegant dog sitting in the elegant living room -or the elegant dog lounging on the bed in the master bedroom - how hard could that be?
1. Do you know that greyhounds DON"T sit? Because of the muscles and bone structure of their legs, they either stand or lie down on the ground. They don't sit. Not even for a treat!
2. Okay - so we decided to put the dog on the living room sofa. Only problem is that, unlike my dog, which is beside me on the bed right now - Joshua not only is not allowed on the furniture - he doesn't even try to get on the furniture.
3. When we tried to get him on the sofa or bed, it required ten minutes, a box of treats and my poor seller dancing just out of camera range to keep Joshua in place for the photos. The photographer was remarkably patient. Probably was good that he had just returned from Yellowstone where he had been photographing wolves!
Hopefully this photo is going to encourage all the dog loves in DC to come to my open house on Sunday from 2 to 5 - Put me on your list!
