Well, I survived the full eclipse!  Wow, it was so weird getting dark so early.  It was very still, and the temperature dropped quickly for a short time.  I didn’t know what to think.  Personally, I’m glad it’s over, us four-legged friends really aren’t into it.  But lots of the two-legged friends were hoop-la over it.

Well, I had good luck finding a new home for my furry friend, George Nadeau.  A large yard is really important to him, and I found him a whopper in Quispamsis, that’s over 3/4 of an acre with large shade trees, perfect for summer.  He’s over the moon and can’t wait to move into his new home with his family.  It won’t be long now, George.  Paws crossed and hoping!   It’s a quiet, family friendly, neighbourhood for morning walks and evening strolls.  There are nice trails close by as well as a sandy beach for summer swimming and best of all, his new home comes with beach rights, so nobody will be kicking George off his beach!  Way to go buddy.  I offered to give swimming lessons to the young fella, but he quickly told me that he’s an excellent swimmer which his Mama & Papa confirmed.  This is the perfect house for him with a cozy heat pump for winter with air conditioning for summer.  Congratulations George, I wish you many years of happy romps in your big yard!

We have an exciting new listing this week at 3771 Route 845 in Kingston, just four minutes from the gas/convenience store and Macdonald’s Consolidated School and five minutes from the beloved Kingston Farmer’s Market.  This home is right on the water at Kingston Creek with direct access to the St John River.  It has its own boat loading ramp and deep water mooring close to shore.  Let the summer fun begin for our four-legged and two-legged friends with power boating, water skiing, sailing, jet skis, canoes, kayaks, swimming bon fires, and fishing!  Plus, skating, ice fishing, snowmobiling and hockey in winter.  Nothing beats living on the water!  This place is perfect as your new home or year-round vacation cottage.  It has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms plus eat-in kitchen, lovely sun/family room and three ductless heat pumps.  MLS#NB907439 Offered at $649,000.  Let me know if you’d like to have a look.  I’m happy to show it.

Hope you have a nice week and are enjoying the blue sky and warm sunshine as much as I am!

Your pal,

Nicholas

Well, this week was a shocker, with 6″ of wet snow in our yard!  Where did that come from?  I thought winter was over, but Mama kept saying “we’re going to get one more storm”.  How does she know these things?   I went out to do my business and check my yard for squirrels (a favourite pastime) and low and behold everything was white and it was still coming down hard.  I love the snow!  I like to run in it, roll in it and even eat it.  Yum, yum.  Mama says it won’t last long and already this morning I could see that it’s melting quickly.  It won’t melt quick enough for my two-legged friends and family.

I’ve been busy lately finding a new home for George, a golden doodle moving to our area.  He’s a feisty fella, just four years old and full of spunk and vinegar!   And Mama says, “he’s really cute & friendly”.   George is looking for a large yard to play (most important), a quiet neighbourhood, and nice places close by to walk and to swim.  I told him, I don’t swim in the river until July, as my silky coat doesn’t work so well with the cold water.  But he tells me that his coat is thick and warm, and he has no problem jumping in in May!  You go for it George!  I’ll cheer you on from the shore.  His Mama and Papa would like a medium sized house with a fireplace or wood stove, hardwood floors, a ductless heat pump, good sized kitchen and three to four bedrooms and at least two bathrooms.   They’re looking between Millidgeville and the Valley so if you know of a good place, let me know.  I’ll take George over for a look.

Our big wreath at the front door is up again for Spring and Summer.  What a job!  I was on squirrel patrol while Mama and Michelle got out the big ladder and started up and down with the flowers.  Takes them hours!!!  But I love it when it’s done.  Up for another season.

Have a great weekend.  If it rains, I hope you have Netflix, Crave, etc.! 🙂 better days are coming soon!

Your pal,

Nicholas
