The fridge repair guy survived my zoo. I left the cats to roam as normal, and only put the big dogs outside. Cassie didn’t budge from her comfy spot on the couch for 90% of the time he was here. She didn’t even sniff in his direction when I let him into the house. She did go into the kitchen when he was finishing up, gave him a quick sniff, then went back to her morning ritual of sniffing for crumbs on the floor. (Not that she’d ever find any. Oh no.) 
The fridge had a bad ‘computer board’. Took 10 min to fix and no charge! I didn’t even have to pay the $80 service call fee because apparently for a few months the model of my fridge was being manufactured, they used crappy boards. He left the faulty board here. Looks like a laptop motherboard. I should have asked for a RAM upgrade too.
Only in a time when refrigerators have “computer boards” would repairmen be afraid of someone’s pet.
What’s this world coming to, Tracie? ;^)
