It's a Dog's Life...Or a Lifeless Dog?

Yes it certainly grabs the attention - but is it the right kind of attention?! ;)

Seen live ones in pics - but that one is a first for me.

too funny !!

I can't imagine walking into the room and suddenly seeing that!  I can't believe that the realtor didn't at the very least choose a different angle to show the room.  Not good at all,

Perhaps the house is haunted by a dog spirit that only shows up in photos?

(sorry, couldn't resist! I couldn't think of  better explanation!)

Well,,, being a dog person, I must admit that mine get away with behavior that is not far removed from that...  One likes to pop up onto the ktichen counter so he can see me when I'm in the yard..  Sad but true...  ( Lord I hope I never have to put my house on the market !!)

Yikes is right, Leslie.  Did I see a bird in that photo too?  These family pets must be hungry!

It looks like two birds flying around in the dining room and the dog looks stuffed to me.  Holy, Moly! I hope you are going to offer to rescue this place or at least the animals.   

OMG That is hilarious!

Maybe the out of area agent is trying to show how pet-friendly Marin County is.  :)

Why of why would a realtor use photos  like that.  How many buyers will not go into the home because they are afraid the house has a dog running around all over the place?

They don't know it's stuffed.   ""m not sure which is the worst.   A dead dog that's stuffed or a dog that is not under control

Oh my this is not good , in fact this is very very bad - hope they call you.

i remember when i was maybe 15 yrs old and heard my father talk about his friends wife has had all her dead dogs stuffed like that and are in her living room. then i thought it was weird, different, etc. something that i would not do because for me its spooky but that idea has been around for a while and i am 40 something. i am shocked the realtor used that pic and or talk to the owner about removing it because it could blow a sale. i know if i was the buyer looking i would walk out and vomit on her lawn but to each their own. no sale here and i surly would not use that to stage a house.

Leslie, this reminds me of a staging student I had in Dallas.  After my talk about not using dead things in staging she said... But what do I do when the client has a "trophy room"? Being from California I had to have "trophy room" explained to me.  She showed me pictures with dead everything - stuffed... I feel a blog coming on...

It took me five minutes before I could quit laughing enough to leave a comment. I'll be laughing some more after I look at the picture one last time.

I don't think I'd want to eat anything that had been served from that buffet!

Wow, first question, eclectic or not, who let them keep that dog in the MLS photos?  I get eclectic, I even get funky, but no one thought to suggest that they remove Fido, "just for the pictures" so someone MIGHT come and look at the house? Very funny, but not gonna be funny when it takes a while to sell...
