Westport: There's a New Boy in Town You've probably heard the wise-crack answer to "When does life begin?"...When the kids leave home and the dog dies! For us, that situation occured fourteen years ago. We got Gambi, our first Miniature Schnauzer, just six months after we were married. He was our "first son" and was part of the family for almost seventeen years. Our boys had never known life without a "doggie brother" and, after losing Gambi, wanted us to get a new puppy. We brought Westi home, about a year later. He was with us for fifteen years. After that, my husband said he couldn't go through losing another dog. We were done! That was it! Never Again! That is, until a few weeks ago. I don't know what possessed me, but I started looking a Schnauzer pictures, online. That was our und... 12/22/2013

Do Bamboo stalks become an invasive species for home owners in Westport, CT 06880? The last three years seem to be introducing me to more and more interesting and unusual property issues.       The great thing is that this is how we as agents grow and learn how to deal with and sometimes cure the problems that come with some properties.    Bamboo is one such example.     This particular stand of bamboo was planted as a small group to provide a little privacy between the properties.   Within a few years, it had spread and probably tripled or quadrupled in size.   I am sure most home owners are completely overwhelmed with the prospect of controlling this.     How can you spray something that stands 12-15 feet tall with a controlling poison?       and is the poison safe for the land and yo... 11/17/2013
