Was the hose frozen or something?
I had a grass fire get away from me once. Hey - it's about time to burn our apple tree pile, it's ready to go.
No, the back yard spigot burst a while back and since we aren't doing any significant gardening, we just capped it till the weather gets warmer...
Remember? Christmas eve eve, I believe...it burst under the sink?
Our garage was added on at another time and the spigot that is in the garage was actually on the side of the house at one time. The hose wouldn't reach with out two hoses and the hoses were put away in the garage.
Once we got the situation under somewhat control, I was able to go get the hoses and attach them to the spigot in the garage and really douse the area.
Cute puppies!! They really look like happy dogs...they have the life of riley!
