This fire near Sunsites broke out April 28. It is 62% contained at 2138 acres. This morning was the first hazy morning from the drifting smoke along the Mule mountains east of me.
I was outside at 7:30am pruning some dead shrubs in the front when Gretchen and Zana darted past me. They had pushed the front window open and jumped outside. I didn't think they could push it open as I have trouble lifting the pane. Now I have to get 24" wood stoppers to keep the windows secure when open. I had been so vigilant at making sure the dogs wouldn't be able to dart outside this past month.
Luckily Kim's dogs weren't outside although both dogs were looking for them in Kim's yard. I last saw them running full speed west on my street. I drove around looking for them, but saw no trace. What more could I do besides stay home and watch social media about two loose dogs running around, or getting an angry text from Kim or Ken.
But nothing ever came. Then, quite unexpectedly, both dogs reappeared in the front yard an hour later, panting with their long tongues drooping. Zana came right to the front door and wanted inside. I let her. Gretchen played harder to get but I got her inside the Honda ten minutes later where she had time to relax before I brought her inside,
Both dogs stayed inside the rest of the day. They got the bigger pieces of chicken for lunch when I made myself some pollo marinade with rice. At least they got a good hour of unleashed running so I could take Fritz for his four mile walk later. I like knowing all six dogs get a good workout over the weekend.
I can't wait to get that fence put up.
