something really strange happened today. Lizzy was outside barking and she sounded really upset. the last time she barked like that there was a snake so I went outside and at first I didn't see anything. when I got closer I noticed a large chunk of smoldering leaves which I had to put out with the hose. my whole yard is covered in leaves. I don't clean them up until they're all off the trees. I could have had a huge fire. what I don't get is how they got there. the only thing I can think of is one of the neighbors was burning leaves and some blew into my yard but I didn't smell or see any smoke like there would be if someone was burning them near by. I'm just glad I was home.

Wow, good girl, Lizzy. Dogs are so smart sometimes! (As I look down and see Rascal licking his butt...)

Good Girl Lizzy! Do you have people who can walk thru your yard? Some teenager, could have cut thru w/ a cigarette or somethin'. Glad it worked out for the best! What a good Dog!!!!

nobody can walk through my yard. I have a 6 foot wood fence with a dead bolt lock on the inside. I didn't find a cigarette butt either. that's what's so strange. it's like a smoldering pile of burning leaves just fell out of the sky right into the middle of my yard.
