MILLBROOK — September brought a rare dose of affordability to the Town of Washington’s real estate market. All six single-family homes that changed hands during the month sold for under $600,000, with no seven-figure sales recorded.

This stands in sharp contrast to the 30 properties listed for sale at the end of October, where 21 were priced above $1 million. Only four homes and seven parcels of land were listed below the $1 million mark.

53 Jameson Hill Road — 3 bedroom/1.5 bath home built in 1910 sold to Courtney Hundelt for $525,000.

26 Horseshoe Road — 3 bedroom/1 bath split-level home sold to Alfred J. Dehors for $400,000.

32 Halcyon Road — 3 bedroom/2 bath home on .23 acres sold to Mariela Pelaez Cordova for $390,000.

3206 Sharon Turnpike — 2 bedroom/1 bath ranch on 1.7 acres sold to Cristina Alves for $418,000.

43 Rodrigo Knolls — 3 bedroom/2 bath split-level sold to Marcus Gonzalez for $575,000.

126-128 Christian Hill Road — 2 bedroom/1 bath home on 2 acres sold to John Gearhart for $290,000.

Dog owners know the dilemma: You’re out for the day with your four-legged sidekick when hunger strikes. Fortunately, a number of area restaurants, cafés and breweries welcome dogs, mostly at outdoor tables. Policies and outdoor seating can change with the season, so calling ahead is always a good idea.

The White Hart and Provisions in Salisbury is particularly pet-friendly. The inn welcomes pets on request, and its front porch and sprawling lawn make inviting places to settle in with a canine companion. They even welcome well-behaved patrons — bipedal and quadruped alike — in the cozy dining area.

“It’s unbelievable that this sweet, loving boy hasn’t found his home yet,” said Tiffany Lemelin, shelter manager of The Little Guild, whose mission is to rescue, love and heal homeless cats and dogs. She smiled at the small dog wagging his tail. “This is one of the most deserving dogs you could ever meet, with so much love to give.”

Marsala is an energetic, 1-year-old, 45-pound black Labrador mix waiting to be adopted. He arrived March 25 as a stray named “Chicken” from Toccoa, Georgia.

Meade Canine Rescue and Sanctuary is not the average rescue. Situated on a quiet dirt road on 8 acres in Wingdale, the dogs living there are, for the most part, uncaged, roaming the yard, sleeping in the house, resting in the shade of a tree or lounging in the open van that often takes them for rides.

“We go on lots of adventures,” said the rescue’s founder, Charlotte Meade.

The bear necessities of living in bear country

Take down bird feeders when bears are active. Secure garbage cans left outside, and never leave pet food or trash on porches, screened-in or otherwise.

This here is bear country. In fact, Connecticut has an unusually high rate of bear home entries compared with neighboring states. So far this year, the state has documented more than 60 home entries, and bears have been spotted in all 169 towns and cities.

Bears are also part of life in neighboring Dutchess County. But don’t worry. It’s not as bad as it sounds.
