I have done a number of posts about friendly creatures that have dropped in to visit during rural home inspections. There are the deer at Sudden Valley and Lake Whatcom areas, then there are the frogs and the squirrels, of course. And don't forget all the purrrring kitties.

There are even the friendly dogs that lapped at my mug. This post is not about that kind of dog. I had an inspection recently where the neighbor's substantial dog, a wire fence away, was really not such a treat. He spent the whole time growling and barking and charging the fence any time I got near. He was of course confined on the side of the house with the most problems.

You can click on the photo to hear what a really friendly dog sounds like.

Thanks for stopping by,

That sounds like a lot of fun Steven. I came across one of those on a showing about 6 years ago. Except in my case I turned my back and the dog was suddenly on my side of the fence.

Fascinating how that works.  Hard to report troubles you can't see or get close to.

Steve,  Now I am a dog lover, but a MEAN dog next door would have been a deal breaker for me.

Steve, that is a very friendly dog I think you should stop and pet him.

I've been lucky and only bit twice - once by a chihuahua named Spike.  The second time nipped in the ankle by a herding dog that wanted me to go left instead of right - and after I gave her a treat!

This guy and I would have to become friends before I even tried to look over "his" fence.

I known an agent who was attacked and mauled by a large dog. She was lucky to have not been killed. I do love animals, but I have no tolerance for mean dogs.

My all-time favorite picture on an appraisal was of dogs running straight into the camera. Charge! Kate
