Doggie Days in Real Estate
Larry Loves Doggie Days!
Larry and I always seem to attract animals and small children. Cats, Dogs, babies…they have their similarities–a blatant lack of judgment, I suppose!
Here’s a link to photos of some of the doggies we’ve encountered! One was an interesting breed we had not yet heard of, good for allergy sufferers, (but not for children), called Coton de Tulear. One shows up in the pictures, linked above. Apparently they have a cottony coat — hence the “Coton” in the name. And they don’t shed much.
These photos are from an encounter in front of Vivace Espresso in South Lake Union.
Other notable animal encounters include the sweet doggies that an agent told us were very friendly, would make lots of noise but not hurt us. However, we were glad that day not to have any small children touring with us–Larry got bit by one of the “friendly” dogs. This kind of encounter is very rare, thankfully!
Yesterday we met two very lovely cats with luxurious Siamese markings and long fur. They seemed to be related–almost blending into one another on the bed in the master suite. The dog of the house just loved Larry. I think he was about the same size as the cats and wore a long gray mustache and beard. Very cute like a little bearded man.
One of our faves though, is Whitty, Jane’s dog who now lives in West Seattle. Whitty spent long hours with us, looking for the best home for Jane. Whitty’s a purse sized dog who just loved to stand on Larry’s forearm and look out the front window to see just where we were going next. From time to time he would sneak a lick on to Larry’s face. In return, Whitty took it all in stride when Larry sniffed his little fringed black ears.
And then there’s the Cathie’s, our friends from South Africa, who have three animals–all with the same color hair as dad, and wonderful compatible temperaments, AND a fantastic kidlet. Lovely.
Dogventures.
What fun!
