Nice Doggy, Nice Doggy!

Yesterday was a pretty hectic day, not to mention I got the scare of my life. When I showed up for my appraisal appointment, the renter poked her head out the window and asked who I was. I explained that I was here to do the inspection for the sale of the property, which she replied, “No problem, just do your thing and holler when you’re ready to come in.” I started measuring the duplex, turned the corner and that's when I came face to face with “Fido.” Apparently she forgot about the guard dog in the backyard. My hollering amounted to, “Nice doggy, nice doggy, yah you’re a nice dog.” I backed away hoping that the dog was on a very short chain, which it was.

Michael - glad you kept your cool - but I do hate to see dogs chained up like that.  For your sake, though, it's a good thing he was.

Margaret-I'm with you on a dog being chained-up;however, I was extremely happy this dog was.
