Was I On Candid Camera? part 1

My day started off with a bang.... and not the good kind! My clients were in my car as we pulled in the driveway of a beautiful home in an upscale neighborhood. The homeowners were not supposed to be there, but as we pulled in, the garage door opened up... coincidentally the next door neighbor was pulling in his driveway at the same time and his garage door was opening up simultaneously. Hmmm.... my clients made the comment, "Hey! It looks like his opener is opening up this garage door!" As the neighbor was getting out of his car, I stepped out of my car and yelled over to him to alert him of this matter. ( I recognized him as someone I knew in the business industry, so I called him by name.) He started to say something to me, but all of a sudden our conversation was interrupted by his 6 month old "pound" puppy jumping in the front seat of my car.

My clients were laughing and talking to Marley (we found out the dog's name was Marley.) Meanwhile, Marley's tail is wagging 90 miles an hour and she was so excited that she couldn't hold it any longer, if you know what I mean. The neighbor came running after his untrained pup, calling her name loudly while I was trying to pick her up to get her out of my front seat (I don't have leather seats.) By the time her owner got her out of my car, there was about a two inch puddle where I needed to be sitting the rest of the day. The neighbor finally got control of Marley and escorted her home. He grabbed a roll of paper towels and some kind of urine cleaner spray and ran back to me and my shocked clients. He started pulling off yards of paper towels and shoving them in the crease of my seat as he was apologizing to me as he sprayed and unfurled frantically! Meanwhile, I picked up my (Coach) purse from the floor of my car and my bag of snacks I had brought since we still had 16 houses to see. They were both dripping wet from Marley's excitement. The neighbor was appalled as I would have been if my dog had done this to his potential new neighbors. Anyway, I didn't realize that this was not going to be the worst part of my day....... To be continued.....
