Lost lives

DogsRule

When I go into a game but haven't made any moves yet,I leave the screen for a whole to check on a message or something my life is gone even though I haven't made any moves. Can you please explain why this happens? Thanks.

This only happens to me when the game gets closed down, if I go to a message or on the web without closing the game and then go back to it, I'm back on the board I left with all my moves and lives intact. What happens when you get back on the game, does it start from scratch or does it put you back on the board where you left?
