She’s still growing… and thank goodness I bought the bigger couch. 😂 One day she’ll be as big as her sister, but for now she’s still my giant baby with oversized paws and zero concept of personal space.

People always ask me what it’s like living with English Mastiffs, so here’s the real answer:
Yes… the robot vacuum and mop run multiple times a day.
Yes… I keep magic erasers stocked.
Yes… I wipe cheeks after food and water like a full-time staff member.

Walls, windows, floors… constantly cleaning. But honestly? Worth every second.

English Mastiffs are the sweetest, laziest, most lovable house dogs. Just giant napping cuties that happen to leave a trail behind them. 🤎

🏠 HEADS UP:

If you’ve been counting on the Army Corps of Engineers to help elevate your home, there’s some new uncertainty you need to know about.
The Corps has paused several studies on voluntary home elevations in Louisiana. They are currently re-evaluating whether they are the right agency to handle "property-by-property" flood protection, or if they should stick to big projects like levees.

What Homeowners need to know:

✅ The Good: State leaders are pushing to "get these over the finish line" so homeowners aren't left hanging.

⚠️ The Catch: This could mean a shift in who manages (and pays for) these lifts in the future—potentially moving to FEMA or HUD.

📍 Impacted Areas: St. Tammany, Iberia, St. Mary, and St. Martin parishes are all watching this closely.
In Louisiana, flood risk = property value.

Staying informed is the best way to protect your investment. Have questions about a specific listing? Let's chat.

Home elevations are viewed as a tool in areas of Louisiana where building large levee projects may not be feasible or cost-effective.

When selling your home, the highest offer isn’t always the best. A great deal comes down to financial strength, buyer motivation, and flexibility. Here’s what to look for:

✅ Financing Stability: A pre-approved or cash buyer lowers risk.
✅ Offer Strength: A strong deposit and flexible timeline can be worth more.
✅ Buyer Commitment: Are they truly ready to buy, or just throwing out bids?
