THAT SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR IN SKAGIT COUNTY!

March 12, 2012 By Linda Harris Leave a Comment

Just yesterday as I drove from Anacortes to La Conner I saw the workers in the fields picking daffodils.  The tulips can’t be too far behind.

It reminded me that the annual Skagit Tulip Festival is just around the corner, April 1-30.  That means I may want to invite family/friends over sometime next month for the added bonus of a trip to the tulip fields.  Or, if I need to do some personal shopping in La Conner, I best do it BEFORE April 1.

At the very least, it did my heart good to realize this special time of year for all of us in Skagit County is just around the corner!

Maybe you’d like to visit Anacortes or La Conner next month and make time for tulips and house hunting!  Just let me know, and we’ll make the necessary plans.

Are You Smarter Than Your Dog?

January 25, 2012 By Linda Harris Leave a Comment

Are you smarter than your dog?

If not, I know someone who is—at least more often than I am.  That’s why I love my Anacortes friend and dog trainer, Debbie Exley so much!  She works very hard at being smarter than our dogs, and when “smarts” don’t quite work, usually Debbie’s enthusiasm, energy, creativity,  and obvious affection for her “students” seem to win them over.

If you live in Anacortes or the Skagit Valley and need a wonderful dog trainer, you can contact Debbie at 360-421-5968.  Debbie is a Certified Dog Trainer and AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.  She stresses Positive-Based Dog Training for puppies and adult dogs.

Class curriculums cover the core obedience skills:  Sit, Down, Stay, Come!, Loose-Leash Walk, and Leave It” in addition to “Good Manners” behaviors.  Private sessions are available for problem issues, such as the one we have been experiencing with our young goldendoodle not wanting to jump into the back of our vehicle.  At this moment in time, the combined intelligence of Debbie, my husband, and me IS greater than our dog’s!  Debbie always had “one more idea”, and we thank her!

If you would like to know about “Smarter than Your Dog” or help with a dog-friendly move to Anacortes, please call me.

Fall Back this Weekend!

November 5, 2011 By Jean Groesbeck Leave a Comment

Daylight Saving Time ends 2 a.m. this Sunday November 6th, so it’s time to set all the clocks in your home back one hour-and gain another hour of sleep!  Make sure to do it this Saturday night before you go to bed!

Don’t forget to check all those items with built in clock such as computers, cell phones, cameras, thermostats, etc.  to make sure they were updated too.  The Anacortes Fire Deparment suggests this is a good time to check the batteries in smoke detectors and turn on carbon monoxide detectors.

If you are  wondering what your home is worth, give me a call or email me.  I would be happy to provide you with a free no cost market analysis!
