10:30 am- At the property taking photo's and video. Just me and fifty acres. Not too sure about tramping through the grass... I KNOW there's at least one snake waiting for me. Put my boots on.  Think I will have owner send me photo's of the creek.

Hmmm, no one home but what a cute little dog, come here puppy...oh shoot, another dog, a BIG dog, not so cute.... is that a great dane?, oh shoot, YES it is and he's running my way, Lord get me to my car in one piece!

2:45 pm - HOME, time for lunch. Hi Duncan, did you lose a treat?, What's that under the china cabinet? OMG, it's a mouse, shoot, no it's a chipmunk!! How did a chipmunk get in? Shrieking as the chipmunk crosses over my bare feet TWICE and out of the dining room. Where did it go? Oh great.....spend two hours looking for a chipmunk. Call husband, bring traps home, now!

Coeur d'Alene Idaho - City by the LakeOh Debbie, this is priceless!  I have got to timeline one of my days like you did.  I don't think people really understand the 24/7 Real Estate lives we have.  Thanks for doing it and with humor! (somedays the humor part is really hard!!)

Also, thanks for commenting on my Post!

You know Debbie the difference between an Agents day and a home inspectors isn't so great.

Hi Pam, Honest to goodness this was my day today and as you can tell, it isn't over yet! Thankfully we were able to shoo the little bitty chipmunk (I swear he was three times that size) out the door. No harm done. Duncan got a treat for being a fearless doggie.

Hi Jack, I'm sure there are many similarities. I took a photo of the basement door, couldn't bring myself to go in by myself though! Hope you're feeling better.

Debbie,

That's one brazen chipmunk!  It may be time for a heart-to-heart with the dog, but then again, you never know where you'd find your "gift.'

Ken and Sandy, I was freaking out over that chipmunk! The poor dog just went nuts and kept looking for him- even this morning. I'm glad the little guy was able to get back outside unharmed.

Debbie, Chips are cute, but they can sure do a lot of damage. We have several here in the yard and I too set out humane traps and then release them on the other side of the subdivision...
