Note to Self...

The boy came home from work this morning at 2 AM only to find the sliding door off the kitchen WIDE OPEN...the mister has always been Head of Security around here - a badge he has proudly worn, but after this serious breech I'm thinking he should be stripped of his title, badge and duties!  When the mister was confronted with this information he promptly blamed Caesar Beezer The Wonder Dog - what kind of person blames an innocent dog?!?  Talented as he is, my dog cannot OPEN or CLOSE the door!  We live surrounded by enormous trees - a surburban forest - which is filled with squirrels, raccoons, and all sorts of other vermin...and now, I have a sinking feeling that some or all of the above are nesting inside my manse...this morning I found a leaf on the floor in the kitchen, as there was no wind last night I'm certain it had to be CARRIED INTO my house by some sort of brazen noctural rodent hell-bent on executing animal squatter's-rights ....Caesar Beezer The Wonder Dog has been sniffing his head off this morning - all around the family room - in and out of the kitchen - he's been hot on the trail of something - I only hope HE finds it before I do - or that whatever it was that was in here dining off the crumbs on my floor escaped before the boy came home and FINALLY shut and locked the door!
