Love From the Dawgs

Such a warm day out. Little by little I am playing catchup grooming everyone. I should be totally caught up by tomorrow. We have some new visitors today so it has been a ton of fun. Dennis cleared excess water off the pool cover so the dogs are loving running across it and they are not getting wet. We need to get the pool open soon.
Last night we had burning wood and poor Dennis was going crazy. He was looking everywhere. We didn't see smoke nor did we hear sirens but we smelt the wood smelling experience. I suspect someone was burning wood in one of those outdoor fireplaces but it was interesting we didn't see the smoke. We actually set up everything in case we needed to evacuate. We still have no clue where it was coming from but the smell went away in the wee hours. Didn't give us a solid sleep but glad that is done.
Dogs and Nathan have really enjoyed the outdoors. As I said, I was playing catch-up on grooming so other than going to get the stick out of the camera outdoors, I didn't enjoy. Dennis was pumping off the water so although he was enjoying warmth, he was working. He did run with the dogs.
I should head upstairs and open my upstairs window to get fresh air. Yep - think I will do that and then I have Harlow to groom as she is heading home.
The dogs - well they had a great time today!

You know I would check it out if it was legal to burn wood outdoors in your area.

Personally I would have phoned 911, if I was that distressed.
Dorothy: We could not find it. We could just smell it. If you smell a fire and call it in and they do not find a fire, they charge you for the call - no lie. It's a stupid local law. We were worried. Smell was bad and we have pups but it did go in the wee hours. I am glad.
Wow, but if they were burning wood debris that's illegal according to that bylaw, it's that time of year for yard cleanup and some people don know that. Ask me how I know, dad's neighbor did that, had to tell them.
Glad it over.
You can't report when you do not know the source and we did not. Smell was bad.
