Now, call me paranoid (I AM when it comes to Ella), but this FREAKS me out.
First time, I let Ella out as usual, stepped out into the backyard with her, and she rounds the corner to go behind our house. I didn't think anything of it because this is where she usually goes poop. Well, I followed her around the corner because I don't trust that my neighbors' dogs have dug a hole under the fence big enough for their snouts to get under (but I tend to check for this stuff frequently, but with it being so cold out, I haven't been as up on it), because I KNOW Ella would bite their snouts if she could. So, I follow her, and we have a tree that has MAYBE 6" worth of space between it and our neighbors' fence. She had her nose between that and the tree, and I thought she was sniffing. I kept calling her, and she was NOT paying attention to me, so I walk over to her, and she's munching on what appears to be a loaf of french bread. I snagged that up so fast and ran it to the other end of my yard and chucked it back over my fence. Cursing the entire time.
Then today, I was out scooping up the winter's worth of poo in my yard, and I see Ella over by another tree, but this time I see the bread before she starts trying to munch on it, and I call her off it, run over, and chuck it over my fence yelling that if my dog gets poisoned, I will KILL someone.
I know it could be a million things as to how food got into my yard. It was bread both times. But some people fear their houses catching on fire while they're away and their dogs burning to death. MY fear is someone will try to poison my dog by throwing food over my fence and I don't catch it in time.
Ben just suggested that it might be squirrels carrying it and dropping it as they try to climb up the trees in our yard.
But the first loaf was HUGE. The second loaf wasn't AS big, but it was fatter.
