I've just about had it with yard inspections. I'm about ready to give up this whole rescue thing.

I made an appointment for 10a this a.m. It's clear on the other side of Fresno from me. If I were leaving from my house it would take me about 45 minutes to drive there. But Friday is my errand day, so I didn't leave from my house. I ran a few errands in Clovis, then at 9a I headed over there.

I arrived at 9:30a. There were three or four large, full grown pit bulls fenced in the front yard - between me and the front door. I stood there outside the gate for about 5 minutes hoping the dogs would bark and alert the owners, but all they did was raise their hackles and growl.

Granted, I was early, but wouldn't you think you'd be keeping an eye out for visitors or else put the dogs up? I can't afford to go over there again, it costs too much to drive my truck over there. So I told her no dice on the phone. She said she was watching for me. Yeah, right.

I've scheduled two inspections for tomorrow, 10a and 11a. Hopefully I'll be successful this time.

Well day one on the test run of Shelly's and Moe's enclosures :D
Thank goodness it's getting warm in AZ.
Thermometers tells exactly how good or bad your work is :D
Fortunately mine wasn't too bad. The temps were at 79 and I'm aiming for 80's. Some caulking and window seals I think did the trick. Especially around Shelly's door and lid. Tonight is round 2

Shelly goes in as soon as she goes outside in the morning.
If things go ok tonight, she may stay in it tomorrow

I started getting that stuff when I turned 50, so you're coming late to the game.

We get tons of hearing aid ads, written if very large print. They figure if you're going deaf you probably can't see well either.

lol! Hi Maggie! Your girls say, "Hi!". Queenie is pouring because I won't take her out. She was spoiled by a couple of warm days.
