Tough Times...Time To Relish Little Pleasures


Okay, I'm feeling soapy today so get ready. Lately, I have been into enjoying more of the small pleasures in my life. Being a real estate agent in this economy can drive you sort of crazy if you let it. Yes, I believe it is a great time to jump into the market, so contact me if you agree!
Now...let's talk about the winner of Westminster this year. Every year for about 12 years I attended Westminster with first both of my parents and later years just my mom...The last year of my mom's life she said to me in January, "I know I am supposed to go somewhere important next month, I just can't remember where.". Yes, this is sad but it shows her enthusiasm for wanting to attend that dog show. And YES she went with me. It was her last one she attended but it was soooo special for us to go together. Born and raised with a boarding kennel and show dogs and the show circuit, I realized that this is what she lived for.
This year I wish she could have seen the Sussex Spaniel win...He almost died a number of years ago, but he lived through it and you could tell...the Westminster was also his last shining moment!! How wonderful. "Stump" or Ch. Clussexx Three D Grinchy Glee (okay you have to be fun to come up with this name!) represents one of the oldest breeds recognized by the AKC. Long,low,large bone,massive head with a rolling gait and happy tail is the Sussex. He was so enjoying the moment!! He shouted, "Look at me!" "Pick me!" That's what I want to do when I am trying to get clients in this business. I want to say, "I'm the one!" "I know the market!" "Call me for all your Ventura County Real Estate Needs!"...sorry, I digress. I have real estate on the brain too. Sadly, the Sussex has dwindled to no more than 600 in the USA. Check out the website if you decide you want to buy a puppy instead of a home.

The Boys Have Become Teenagers...Watch Out!


These two have given me so much pleasure! BUT they are constantly into digging the yard and picking up wood from the woodpile and running in and out of the bushes. They LOVE one anothers company and roll and play and pull at each other. Oh what a life! I do need to sell one of them. I am looking to sell him to someone who wants to show him at the dog shows. They are both show quality animals and I do want to promote my breeding.

On a side note, Ventura County Real Estate sales are picking up! Now is the time to jump into the market and invest in property in my opinion. Interest rates are low and values have dropped due to the many foreclosures in this area. These lower prices won't last forever...So come live by the beach and bask in the sun like my puppies do!
