Getting ready for a Spooktacular Howloween!  Our pumpkins are out (but the faces aren’t cut yet) and I have my costume.  This year I’m going as a unicorn!  I think it looks stupid, but Mama says it’s cute.  I don’t argue with Mama.  We get about 35 kids to the house.  Papa and I will be at the front door to greet them and Papa will give out loads of treats.  He loves it.  I like seeing all the kids and they seem to like seeing me too.  I never bark at them, just stare at the funny costumes and go over for an ear rub if they are dog friendly.  It’s important to always ask first as I’d never want to scare them.

Mama is hosting a Global Luxury Open House this Sunday from 2-4 at 133 Westmount Drive in Millidgeville, the home of my friends Spirit and Special.  We’re really excited, as Mama was requesting work on the driveway, and it’s been all refinished.  Looks great!   I love the large 2.69 private acres, pool for summer swimming, partially fenced yard, kitchen fireplace where I could curl up for a good nap and main floor master suite so I wouldn’t have stairs to climb when Mama and Papa go to bed.  This house has so many features and has been so well restored.  No corners cut here.  You’ll go a long way to find a house of this quality in our area!  Hope you can drop in for a visit!  MLS#NB085179.  Offered at $1,125,000

The days are continuing to get shorter, and we know what’s just around the corner!  Daylight Savings!  Drives me crazy.  Bad enough it’s dark now by 6:45 but soon we’ll be turning those clocks back and then it will be dark at 5:30.  I really wish they would stop that rule, I don’t know a soul who wants it!

Hope you’ve been enjoying these warm days lately (best we’ve had all year).  Wishing you a good weekend and we’ll talk soon.

Really enjoying this glorious autumn, making up for a lousy wet summer!  I love the abundance of colour on the trees, the warm sunny days and the cool nights (better for sleeping).

Mama’s getting ready for a Global Luxury Open House at 3218 Rothesay Road, right in the heart of Rothesay, steps from the Common.  One of the best features of this property is the professional office with total sound privacy for those who work from home.  It’s a nice size and is tucked up over the attached garage with its own staircase near the back entrance away from interruptions and noise of the family.  I love the two fireplaces, one wood burning and one electric.  I like the sound of the crackle of burning wood, makes me feel cozy on cool nights.  Furry friends will enjoy the huge 2.8-acre yard with massive century trees.  Just looks like a park.  The house has 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms plus 2 powder rooms.  Join Mama next Sunday October 22nd from 2-4pm for a tour.  MLS#091506   Check out the new price being offered at $899,000.

Getting dark earlier now!!!  I used to love my after-dinner walks but by the time Mama has dinner finished it’s too late to head out, so we have to go early.  And it’s just going to get worse!  Won’t be long now until we change the clocks.  I hate the dreaded time change!!!!  When we fall-back it’s basically dark at 5 o’clock.

Have a good week and I’ll be talking with you soon!

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, hoping and paws crossed that I’ll get a bit of turkey this Sunday!  Chances are good.  We’re all prepped for another storm, but weather is supposed to clear by Sunday and that’s the day Mama’s cooking our Butterball turkey!  She’ll put it in at midnight on Saturday night and let it cook slowly, simmering in its own herb seasoned juices all night.  When I wake up Sunday morning, I’ll smell the sweet fragrance of turkey all through the house.  I love it!

We very excited to announce our newest Global Luxury listing; 868 Fundy Drive on 137 private acres on beautiful Campobello Island.  This magnificent 8714 sq foot home is nothing short of glorious with its contemporary architecture, gleaming marble floors, 10-foot to 19-foot ceilings, numerous decks and three fireplaces.  What seems to be exciting Mama so much is the fact that three different species of whales frolic right out in front of the house!  You can watch them from your windows, the decks or venture the short distance to the shore.  How magical is that?  Mama’s hoping that she sees them while she’s showing the house, she’ll be over the moon.  She has seen videos taken from the family rooms deck, by the owners, of these exciting events.  This property is perfect for nature enthusiasts who would enjoy watching whales breach and eagles sour right in their own back yard.  I’m hoping I can go see them too!  I’ve never seen a real whale before.  Just maybe, as the company mascot, I’ll get a visit to Campobello oasis.  Personally, I love the main floor living, the decks and the three cozy fireplaces.  Let’s not forget the huge yard with acres and acres, where I could run and play. Bet there’s lots of squirrels (I love chasing squirrels). A guy could get comfortable here very easily! 🙂  It’s two hours from the Saint John Harbour Bridge to the house and ten minutes from the FDR Bridge in Lubec, Maine.  If you think it’s too much to take on, on your own, then go in on it with a few friends.  Thinking of the ultimate Maritime kitchen party with a fresh seafood feast!  There’s plenty of room for everyone!   MLS#NB902056    Offered at $3.995M USD and $5.4M CDN.

I’ve got my entrance all set for autumn with lots of colourful mums in yellow, russet, and magenta.   Mama does all the work and I do the supervising. ha ha  Plus I’m on squirrel patrol.

I believe we’re going to have a quiet weekend.  TG cause Mama’s been working insane hours and I’ve been keeping her company in the office til the wee hours as she tweaks the details and the pictures of our listings.

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.  We have so much to be thankful for in this beautiful country.

Your pal,

We were so thankful to have Uncle Tom and Aunt Shelley come this morning to help me and Mama trim back our vines and trim our shrubs.  They were a great help and we finished up in no time!  I supervised the operation and was on squirrel patrol, getting some nice ear-rubs as Aunt Shelley passed by me.  I never pass up a nice ear rub.!

Hope you’re enjoying this gorgeous autumn sunshine!

You pal,
