My Dogs Started a Fire Last Night (1 Viewer)

[chet]

One of the dogs turned on a gas burner which in turn lit a box which was on the range. I was playing a game with my son when the fire alarm went off. Thankfully, I was able to turn off the burner and contain the flames. It could have been a lot worse.

Anyone ever child proof a range? I am thinking of removing the knobs. Is there a better solution?

don't store cardboard on a gas range...

That's possibly the easiest way to do it, never heard of a dog being able to do that. Did the dog jump up and do it with his paw, or somehow turn it on with his mouth?

Dunno. I wasn't in the kitchen. I'd assume with a paw.

Mojo's cat > Chet's dog

teach the dog to use the microwave instead

These kind of things don't happen if you leave your dog outside.

A stranger would never do this.

Yummies on the range?

You should remove the knobs for yours and his paw-tection.

Why was there a box anywhere near the range?

 

[DA RAIDERS]

She couldn't find a chair to sit on?

They also sell knob covers.

does you dog have opposable thumbs? The best way to determine that is to spy on him when he is hitchhiking.

Interesting. Money troubles Chet? Trying to build an alibi when you burn your house down to collect insurance money?

let's do that here.

Obviously we won't be leaving anything on the range in the future unless it's cooking.

A former co-worker of mine had that happen to him. I believe it was a bag of popcorn that got left on the stove. He was lucky that the neighbor across the way in his building spotted it and was able to bust down his door with a fire extinguisher.

I'm assuming Chet's dogs also speak 7 languages.

Some basic cooking classes ought to solve the problem.

how does a bijou even reach the knobs?

You did not just post that.

So this three legged dog sits down at the bar, orders a whsikey and tells the bartender, "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."

your dog has more experience with the stove than my wife.
