Piggy is having a hard time keeping his eyes open during my quick video on adopting a pup during this super hot dog’s market. Sorry to bore you, buddy. I’ve posted my tips (almost identical to those I give to buyers in this seller’s market) in my blog post today: https://karamarkleyrealtor.medium.com/

Good thing my car is fully stocked with rubber gloves and hand sanitizer (although could use some paper towels)...this new foster guy just pooped all over the back seat! (But boy is he cute!!!) #fosterdog #wagsrescuepa #poophappens #rescuedog

Happy #givingtuesday ! This generous little giver is 9-year-old Isla, and she surprised me with a bagful of money for PAWS when I stopped by her house last week (and happened to be wearing my PAWS mask, how convenient). Isla raised $52 for homeless dogs and cats by making and selling bracelets like the one she’s holding. Amazing!! How are you giving this season? . . #givingtuesday2020 #phillypaws #givingback #fundraiser #shelterdog #kidsmakingadifference

Atlas is a bit skeptical about her costume as an Eagles fan for Saturday’s PAWS [virtual] Mutt Strut. But she is incredibly grateful for the support from our friends and family on our fundraising page. Thank you to everyone who donated! Even $5 can help Philly’s less fortunate pets and there is still time to donate at https://secure.phillypaws.org/fundraiser/2948297 Go birds!!!

Garage parking in Fairmount for $390,000! Maybe that’s all you need to know. But why stop there?
