By
Real Estate Agent with Real estate agent at Oak Real Estate

Was out previewing properties today, and was denied admittance to one home by these big guys.  I wasn't about to argue!

Great pictures...did you ask if they were already working with an agent?

WOW!  I didn't think they were real until the next photo, where the one on the steps had moved - just slightly!

Hi Ann -- Perhaps they were hired as part of the landscaping crew by the sellers to stage the outside! :)  I'm with you, anything with horns and no inhibitors between their hooves and horns would make me back off!

Ann, we passed through Boulder last month on our way to Estes Park. I am missing the cooler weather and the wildlife.  Throw them some corn for me! :)

Ann - these are beautiful photos! I'm with Bill, #18 - pretty boring here, I pulled in my driveway tonight to see a chipmunk run behind my husband's painting scaffold!

I will say though I once showed a house that had a doberman running around loose.

Looks like the seller has staged their home perfectly for the outdoor enthusiast.  Nice pics!

Hah - you caught the neighbors snooping! They wanted to find out all they could, without attending the open house.

Gosh, and all I had blocking my path today was spiders!  At least you saw your blockade before you stumbled into their web!  :)

This shows why it is a good idea to always have a camera with you, thanks for sharing.

Western wildlife getting smarter all the time. Had a deer walking down the middle of my street the other morning, the opening of archery season. Last year I watched a whole herd jump the fence into a National Park the day before the opening of the general hunt. Get them qualified!

Ann,

You should have used the line, "Do you know who I am?" I'm sure that would have let you in. I thought you were one of the bolder, Boulder agents.

They are like pets here for some reason. I've had them knock groceries out of my hands to get at the apples inside.
