Just a quick WTF moment..
Something really weird just happened. I went into the basement to put in a DVD for Lexa. Someone unhooked the stupid DVD player, so I went to go hook it back up. Nani sat at the door like she wanted to go out, so I let her out. Her cable that is attached to the runner was wrapped around one of the posts for the deck, so I didn't bother untangling it. I figured Nani would only be out for a couple of minutes while I got things sorted, and then I would let her right back in. No big deal, no reason to put her on the run line.
So I gave up on the stupid DVD player because Lexa decided that she would just watch a cartoon on TV instead. So I went to go open the door to let the dog in.
The cable was firmly attached to her collar.
Nani never barked, I never heard anyone outside untangling the cable or walking around my yard and she was out there for less than 5 minutes. And yet somehow she suddenly had the cable attached to her collar. I don't think Nani could have done it - she lacks the opposable thumbs required to open the clip.
And considering the strangeness of the blog post I have been writing but haven't posted yet, this makes me wonder what the heck is going on. I made sure the basement door was locked just in case some weirdo is lurking in my backyard.
ETA: Also, I never saw anyone. my basement has large windows and a slider all along the wall. I was sitting right next to the windows and didn't see a thing.
