Just had a Hooray for Pitas moment that I had to share. My neighbor went out of town for the summer, and her pool service apparently left her water running yesterday, causing her pool to overflow and then flood my side yard with several inches of water. There's nothing in that small side yard, so I never go in there, and it could have been a long time before I noticed that water was flowing right up to my house. But my lead hen Odile went poking around there this morning, clearly realizing something was different. When I went to see what she was doing and realized that she was staring meditatively at her reflection in an enormous puddle of water (?!?!), I, too, caught on that something was wrong and managed to stop the water before it was sloshing up the sides of my house.
So, hooray for Pitas, who are so smart and apparently much more aware of their surroundings than we are.
