Just In Time For A Christmas Miracle November 17, 2006

There had to be divine intervention for two miracle pups rescued by Little Shelter on Long Island.  Magic and Merlin, three week old mixed breed puppies born with severely cleft palates would have had no chance at survival without the intervention of the caring people at Little Shelter, one of the island’s oldest no kill facilities.

As so often happens when good samaritans hear about the plight of others, there was an outpouring of offers of assistance.  They came from far and wide and included Plastic Surgeons,  Veterinarians and the public at large.  Reported in Newsday, they’re waiting for the dogs to be old enough for the first of multiple surgeries to set them on the path of hopefully long and happy lives.   They will remain in my prayers.

We all know that the real estate market is in the doldrums in much of the country.  With houses stagnating in a constipated market, some real estate agents are beginning to wonder where their next sale will come from.  Suggesting an interesting alternative, Glenn Roberts Jr. of Inman News exposes us to the world of Doggie Mansions.  

In true consumer oriented fashion, Donald Gorbach, a veteran real estate broker in Palm Beach, Florida offers a wide range of custom homes for those princely pooches.  Not to overlook the preferences of Fido’s owners, they’ve created a meditteranean Palm Beach style,  a New England beach house and Casa Colonial, just a few of the many choices.

For all the dog lovers out there, it’s worth a look at this innovative site.  If you’re thinking of buying a special home for your four legged friend and you don’t want your kids to be jealous, you might want to consider the 80 square foot mini-mansion.
