Certified curbside investigator

Snoot

He checks every parcel with the official nose.

Daily Inspection

At nine sharp, Snoot reports to the blue gate. Every delivery receives one long sniff, two paw taps, and a silent decision. The clipboard remains decorative.

First Pass
Corners, handles, and suspiciously clean tape receive the full nose.
Second Opinion
Anything marked fragile, urgent, or chicken waits for another inspection.
Gate Release
One paw tap admits the parcel; two send it toward the hydrangeas.

The nose has cleared it.
