My Marketing Team

The following photo was taken of me with my three best friends, Avalanche, Diva, and Deon at the San Clemente Pier this past September. Diva, my baby girl was getting tired of the photo shoot, and decided to take matters into her own hands, or should I say paws and make it a true family photo. My 13-year old son, was busy shaking a bag of doggie treats to keep their attention. This is the photo I use on my business cards, since so many people know me by my dogs. My dogs, my life, my business - real estate. These guys are my marketing team! If it was up to Avalanche, I would spend my days standing around on busy street corners waiting for strangers to compliment him and give him a good ear scratch. That I think is one of the hardest parts for Avalanche in being handicapped. Since his spinal cord injury, he still does not have complete control over his back legs, and therefore it has been over a year since he has been able to scratch himself. That is a total bummer for a dog! He can look at you and let you know which side needs a good scratch, so this is now my job, or the job of complete and total strangers that he solicits. He is so sweet and kind and gentle...that even small children are taken with him. The fact that he is drop-dead beautiful also helps. Besides, he knows he is gorgeous and has the attitude that goes with it. What a wonderful life...a nice morning walk, a breakfast treat, and then a morning and afternoon of naps. Followed by another walk, dinner, more evening naps then bedtime to start the day all over again. If there is reincarnation, I would love to come back as a dog in my own house...what a life!
