All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
I just received this email:
Not sure where to post this, but I just saw what I think was a ferret at about 5PM on the corner of 50th and Edmunds St.It stopped and looked at me as I drove by, so I’m thinking it might have been domesticated. I believe it was brown and white.
Update August 31, 2008: Gibs’N is back home. Hat tip to West Seattle Blog.
Boy…. I feel bad… I know someone emailed me last week with a Beach Drive Pet of the Week nomination and I’ve misplaced it.
I’m so sorry! I was on vacation last week house boating with our family on Lake Roosevelt and somehow I’ve lost the email in the hundreds I receive from my "day job".
Can you please resend the photo? Now that I’m back to reality (off vacation) and managing my email–I should be able to get your cute Beach Drive pet posted.
Update 9:00 a.m. the dog has been reunited with it’s family.
This sweet little fella is missing his/her human and was found wandering around 5000 Beach Drive.
There’s a special story about Willie that involves our Seattle Night Out from earlier this week. You see, as our gathering were enjoying each others company, good food and nice weather, an alarm was sounding in the distance. It was hard to tell if it was a car or house alarm…until someone realized that it was their home on Jacobsen. Smoke was coming out of the back patio door. The neighbors bolted and another neighbor at our SNO event called 9-1-1. Within moments, the neighbor emerged from his home on the patio and gave us a big thumbs up, thankfully.
Willie, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, apparently was real curious about what was in the foil sitting on the stove top. He jumped up to sniff it out (the foil was previously covering chocolate cupcakes–who could blame him?) and accidently bumped the stove on causing a small fire. Thankfully, no one was harmed, no damage done and all is fine.
And who could ever be upset at a face like this.
Do you have a Beach Drive pet you would like featured? Send in your cute photos and they may be the next Pet of the Week.
Thelma is one of our three cats and once was recognized as "The Whitest Cat on the Internet". She has a myspace page (this is how she received the white cat honors) but doesn’t really check it out anymore as she is too busy lounging around the yard, sleeping on the couch and shedding. Thelma is the same white cat in the Beach Drive Blog banner.

Casey is this week’s the "Pet of the Week" for Beach Drive Blog.
Casey will allow his Humans to leash him for a nice walk. He also love to go boating and enjoys jumping back and forth from boat to boat when tied up at the end of the day.
Do you have a pet who lives on Beach Drive to submit for BDB POTW? email me a jpeg photo and you’re pet could enjoy the neighborhood blog-spotlight!
I love it when pets and humans are reunited:
"Our cat Samantha just walked in the door. I have no idea where she was for over 24 hours. We sure are glad to have her home. Thanks for your help."
BDB is happy to help!
Update 7/21/2008: Samantha is back home.
Our kitty Samantha escaped from the house yesterday evening and we haven’t been able to find her. We live at 4700’s Beach Dr. Our kitty is a female blue abyssinian cat. You can contact us if you happen to see her. We miss her very much.
According to his Human, Dino has lots of admirers and loves all his canine buddies that he sees along Beach Drive every morning and evening on walks. He was also the inaugural "Pet of the Week" in the West Seattle Herald when that column was unveiled. Dino is very loving and has the sweetest disposition. His nickname is the KING, because he is one!
