My Assistant's Bad Day......

Our assistants become our family, don't they? Well, that is exactly how I feel about my associate, Billy. It was time for his checkup, so I dutifully accompanied him to his doctor's visit.

It was hard to watch, but I knew he was in good hands. Billy goes to Woodstown Veterinary Hospital in Woodstown, NJ.

They are all so nice there.....but Billy isn't convinced of that.

They told him he needed shots, a blood-test, a pedicure and he was overweight.

Oh yeah....poor ol' Billy has an overbite, too. I think he felt that he was being picked on.

He was a good boy though.

He stood still and behaved.

I could read in his eyes that he wasn't having one bit of fun.

What upset him the most was the discussion about his weight. Don't tell him that I told you this, but he topped the scale at 19 lbs. (definitely too much for a miniature dacshund!)

His treats must be limited now.

He beloved cheese must be cut back to next-to-none.

His walks must be increased.

In other words, he needs to conform to a doggie's version of Weight Watchers!

Looks like he'll be counting points for awhile.

Salem County is actually very fortunate because there are several very, very good veterinarians here. The Woodstown folks have taken care of several of Billy's 'siblings' for our family......and done so quite nicely.

As the most rural county in the entire state of NJ, we really need to have a number of veterinarians. My boss likes to say that "We have more cows than people down here." (he exaggerates, but he's kinda funny!)

The Woodstown Veterinary Hospital is located at 1250 Route 40, Pilesgrove, NJ 08098 (I swear Billy could smell that he was getting close!)

They can be reached at 856-769-2788.

While their sign along route 40 is very attractive, Billy's favorite is their interior sign, shown here.

After woofing at the 70lb German Shepherd waiting her turn to see Dr. Mike, Billy was happy to follow the arrow.

Lights!  Camera!  ACTION!

"You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when fold 'em, know when to walk away.....know when to run" ~ Kenny Rogers in The Gambler

You also gotta know when you may be in over your head and when to bring in the professionals.

I'm working on the biggest listing of my nearly 19 year career.  (I'll tell you more about it at a later time.)

I knew when to fold 'em and call Frank Vit Owner / Digital media designer with WLK Omnimedia.  I'd seen his work on Facebook with one of my fellow agents.  Her video was nothing short of beautiful. 

I knew that this listing was deserving of the same kind of treatment. It is nothing short of beautiful, as well.

I called Frank on a Wednesday and was able to secure an appointment for Friday.  He explained what to expect and how long he would need to complete the job. He also cared about what ideas I had.  Since I have never worked as a videographer, I pretty much told Frank that I trusted him to do whatever he thought was best. 

I just had one rule:

I don't want to be filmed walking.  I could not envision that walking and talking at the same time would be something that I would be good at.......well, at least not on camera.  I can only imagine if I had to walk, talk and chew gum at the same time, on camera!  (I  know there's a bad joke in there somewhere!) 

I had decided to be on camera for a very short amount of time, but even so I was a little bit anxious.  Frank put me at ease. 

You ask what was the worst part of the whole experience? 

Figuring out what to wear and watching myself on tape! 

I can't wait to see the finished project!  Frank also took some stunning photos of the house as part of the package.  I can't wait to show them to you when the time is right. 

In the meantime, here is Frank's contact information.  I'm sure he doesn't just work for Realtors.  There are a lot of life's events that could be captured on video.  I bet he could put you at ease, too, so you can have treasured memories recorded forever.
