Or, I'm Convinced Buddy Knows What To Do In Case Of A House Fire.
Until this fall (and she's nearly two now), Buddy had never shown any particular concern over the wood stove.
In fact, I was a little bit concerned over her lack of concern (she seemed to think that cold ashes, that were dropped while they were being shoveled out of the stove, were a tasty treat).
She even had to be told not to crowd whoever was trying to light the stove.
However, this fall, we had issues with smoke.
From the stove.
In the house.
On one night in particular, we had large puffs of smoke evacuate into the living room. So much so, that I said they were smoke ghosts.
Anyway, since the night of the smoke ghosts, she has been nervous about the wood stove. She keeps an eye on it, and if there is any smoke, any hint of smoke at all, she'll ask to be let out.
The good news is that if there's a house fire, she'll go to the door and wait to be let out. That is, if we're awake. If we're not, she'll wake us up to let her out.
The Cat, on the other hand, will hide.
