Our Funny Animals

Just thought I would share this funny tidbit that happened last week. We bought a wood burning stove right before Christmas for our basement and we love it. Although you can't control the heat like you would a furnace, we just open the back door if it gets too warm. Now to the part I wanted to share - We have a cat, a dachshund and a labrador. The smaller dog, Duke, loves to chase the cat. We were setting around the stove and Duke started chasing Scrammy the cat. The cat, trying to excape from the dog, jumped on top of the wood stove. At the time this happened, the temp said it was about 1000 degrees. If you have never seen a cat fly, its a most hilarious sight to see. Don't get me wrong, we love our animals, they are our babies and definitely a part of our family. Tracy opened the back door and scrammy went out the back door and walked on the snow, you could almost hear the sizzle. We finally caught the cat and checked his paws only to find a little scorching. Now when Duke chases him, he does not get near the stove. He now jumps on the pool table. A much safer place for a landing. We get a kick out of watching our animals - they are so funny and they make us laugh.
