Your new house is gorgeous! I wish we had houses like that here, they have so much character

Is inspection of your current place by appointment only? The process here is usually buy the Saturday paper, look for suitable edaces and be there in the specified open house time or miss out. Interesting. I'd be very clear to the real estate agent that no matter how cute the dogs seem, they are to be left alone. I'd also leave a sign.

Good luck.
