A Merry present for the week

Bethany Phillips, MBA: Real Estate Agent in Fredericksburg, VA

I had two presents this week. First was meeting a new client who is looking for her first home in Newport News. We looked at a number of townhouses near Fort Eustis and saw some real winners. There are a couple that will suite her needs very well. She would prefer a single family home. Unfortunately the choices are more limited in her price range. We are working towards an offer on a foreclosure... wish us luck.

The other present was a stray beagle that ended up on my doorstep yesterday! She is a beautiful beagle girl. No information on her family. No lost beagles listed at the shelters. The microchip trail ends 2 years ago when she was sold by a breeder in Wisconsin to a pet store! Egads! Unfortunately her family didn't update her contact information so the trail goes cold. We think she may be pregnant. That would be new to us so I am really hoping she isn't -- just a bit puffed up due to dinners of McDs and Pizza Hut while on her own!

Here she is... So cute!

Merry the Christmas beagle
