Ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

Squish gets his own post today. My microwave died, so I'm having to reheat things in saucepans - this is a major pain in the arse, and today I fucked up and switched on the wrong ring on the cooker. So my saucepan's sitting there stone cold, while the ring next to it is quietly setting fire to the potholder and unopened packet of instant custard powder that happen to be sitting on it.

Okay, I wasn't asleep or in the bath or anything; I would have noticed before burning the whole building down. But Squish noticed before I did, and barked furiously at the kitchen till I went and discovered my smouldering cock-up. GET THAT DOG SOME CHEESE.

The snow is all gone now, and I don't expect to see it again this year. Damn, it was fun while it lasted, though. I also learned that Squish, while he likes snow on the ground and snowballs, is terrified of snowmen. I sort of knew this already, but I thought that was a one-off. It's not - we came across two snowmen in people's front yards this week and both of them freaked him out considerably.









i know it's not much of a snowman - we really didn't get THAT much snow. It still terrified my special spotted dog. He couldn't decide whether he ought to attack it or run like hell. In the end he compromised by trying to bark it to death from a safe distance. I love my freak dog.

We're meant to be getting another wave of it up here tonight. Feel free to come and take as much as you want...

Wish I could say that about these here parts. ;-)

I have enjoyed your vids/pics immensely. The boys are so happy with the snow that it's made me resent mine a little less. LOL

i so frequently turn the wrong burner on the stove that i'm in the habit of clearing everything off the stove first. i melted a potholder once too.

puppy thinks squish did the right thing barking from a safe distance. a few years back the neighbors 2-3 yards down put a lighted inflated snowman in their back yard and puppy told the whole neighborhood it was the evil snowman of doom.

LOL yes, I remember the puppy vid from when you first posted it. <3 Puppy!

Today I am Tidying My Kitchen and clearing all the crap off the stove so I don't do this again. I just don't use the cooker very much when I have a functioning microwave, on account of being a lazy arse. So naturally it ends up being a convenient space to leave all kinds of junk on.

I'm speculating, since you say 'ring', that your cooker is electric. We've got gas, we'd probably of noticed a bit quicker because of that.

And -

Good On You, Squish! Have a Cookie!

Yes, it is. Or I'd have noticed at once, on account of the one under the saucepan having no flames. I do loathe electric cookers but there's no gas connected to this flat.

He has been given cheese and much love!

I like this. It really is funny, and the pics make it better.

I've always counted Not Burning The House Down as a fairly good thing, so well done that dog.

I haven't really pimped this so I imagine you've not seen it yet - http://pointyhairedjedi.deviantart.com/art/Girls-on-Film-109752351 . I'm going to just assume you approve of the title, as well as the subject matter. Somehow I just have that feeling.

Oooh, that's lovely!

Squish did an awesome job! My late Cody once went absolutely nuts at 1 AM with no apparent reason. The next morning, we found that teenage punks had gone up and down the street breaking car windshields. Thanks to Cody, the police had a definite time for when they hit our street. Not that they ever caught the kids...
