Burnt Chicken Wings!!

So last night I let Louie (one of our dogs) outside before giving him his food. When he came back in I could tell he had something in his mouth. I braced myself for what it might be - thinking that it was going to be a mouse or a baby bunny. I almost started puking in my mouth before I even saw it. Then he dropped it on the dining room floor, and to our surprise we saw what looked like a burnt chicken wing. After carefully looking at it from every possible angle (without touching it of course), we confirmed that it was indeed a burnt chicken wing and quickly got rid of it.

Then the fun began as we started thinking about all of the possible ways this wing got into our backyard. We came up with a few laughers and moved on. This morning when we let Louie out again, he picked up another chicken wing though. So I went out into the yard to see if there were any more. There were two more - taking the total to four burnt chicken wings. 

I picked up another clue regarding how they got there (or so I thought). The two that Louie had not picked up were sitting by our fence next to our neighbor's yard. So that's when we thought that maybe that neighbor was the one who, being displeased with his burnt chicken wings (and possible with us???) threw them into our yard. Was he so upset that he chucked them, not caring where they ended up? Was he upset with us and wanted to get us back for something by getting rid of his wings in our yard? Was he trying to be nice to our dogs by giving them a little treat? None of these made sense. 

So we came up with another option...maybe the neighbor who lived next to our neighbor was mad at him. Maybe he cooked the wings, tried to chuck them into our neighbor's yard, but instead launched them all the way into ours (which could be likely). 

All of this brainstorming got us thinking about some of the things we could do in response. We had a lot of fun and laughs with this.

OPTION 1: Throw some chicken wings in the yards of all three of our neighbors since we don't really know who did it.

OPTION 2: Stand in the backyard for an hour with chicken wings in our hands screaming, "WHY! WHY!" And then take a bite out of one of the wings.

OPTION 3: Burn frozen pizzas and put them in the yards of all three of our neighbors to take it up a notch.

OPTION 4: Think stinky baby diapers full of poopy!!

OPTION 5: A sign on our neighbor's fence that reads - "We hope your smoke detectors work! Do not sleep easy! SMOKED WINGIE = SMOKED HOUSIE"

This also got us wondering...what would you do? Feel free to share some thoughts with us.
