The power company in Phoenix provided us with a schedule when they would be reading in our neighborhood. Those days we would confine the dogs and leave the gate unlocked. 49 years ago when we moved in here we advised the gas, electric and water companies to NEVER come in.....we have German Shepherd Dogs. So far they have always found a way to read our meters and send us the bills for the service. And no one has ever stepped foot in our yard~!!! viv Vivian Brown Santa Ana, CA ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
