Hewwwow! Finn here. One day, Momma and Pops were going about their regular going-to-work routine, and I heard a big truck pull up. They had ordered a new fence for the back yard, and the company had a cancellation that day, and guess what? We were getting that fence that day.
Momma said it's funny how things work, because on that same day, her commuter train line into the concrete jungle was suspended.
A train hit a car and killed a man earlier in the morning. Trains were cancelled on her line until 3PM that day and delayed on the other lines around us.
So she got to work from home while the fence guys put up our new fence.

After my initial investigation, I decided it would be best if I just laid down and let Momma take some pictures and I would wait until it was all over.
There was a lot of grinding and banging and I didn't take so well to that. I was sure glad Momma was home that day!

ReplyDeleteThat is certainly one very very pretty fence! Of course your early inspection of things let the installers know you were on site so they better do a good job!PLUS your mom got to spend the day with you, win win

That looks like a wonderful new fence!!! I'm glad your momma got to stay home with you too. I prefer mom or dad to be around when someone is working on the house.
ReplyDeleteWe will definitely be sending a photo for the closing ceremony!

That's a fab new fence and gate Finn. Were you investigating or supervising :-)
ReplyDeleteAs much as we would all love to run free, we know fences are very good for us. You not only got a good fence but a very nice-looking one too. Hope you get to do zoomies in your yard, Finn.

Nice fencing and cool Saturday steps Finn. Have a great Saturday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Your new fence is very beautiful, I bet you're going to love it :D

Finn, you did a great job supervising the fence and gate installation. Hope you got extra treats for doing such a great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice fence! You did an excellent job snoopervising. I really need to get a new fence one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI saw your post on George and Tess' blog. That museum your mom used to work at is really pretty.
Wow I love your fence! I hope the whole thing wasn't too stressful for you, I hate when there are strangers at my house.

Love your new fence! It looks really nice. We're glad your Momma was home that day though we're sad for the man's family who got hit by the train.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely new fence! I suppose it was worth putting up with the banging for that. Loved seeing you at George & Tess's Saturday Steps :-) woofs and licks from Magic xx
ReplyDeleteWow - LOVE the new fence! I'm pretty glad your Momma was home with you that day, too. I know Bella would have been beside herself with that kind of activity but even a nice stable dog like yourself had to be bothered by it.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear of the train accident. What a tragedy.
Helloooo Finn ~ I just came from George & Tess, I enjoyed seeing you with them on the step post! With all the heat we are having seeing those chrysanthemum and thinking of fall, well for a second we wished it was here. No I am happy with summer. I got eight event pics ready so far for the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteYou got a privacy fence and it looks so nice.
Thanks for being a friend,
Sweet William The Scot
It looks great!
