It's a blessing and a curse

Dear Squish,

While I very much appreciate your smoke alarm yapping, especially in light of the fact that Bournemouth Council have yet to install the promised electronic variety, I wish to hell you had an off button.

I'M COOKING. NOTHING'S ON FIRE THIS TIME, I PROMISE. PLEASE STOP NOW.

Good dog.

I was using the grill and it's a bit smokey. YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP.

the great news is that if there's ever a fire there's NO WAY i could stay asleep through that. Bless his sweet shrill heart.

Annoying now, but he'll be a headline-maker if your building ever catches fire! Good [annoying] boy. ♥

Caiman would probably just wander in and be like "Whatcha cooking? Do I get some?" XD

thats all my dogs would do, is beg! or lay down on the floor behind you so when you turn around from the stove you trip over them.

Squish is SPECIAL!

he missed his vocation really. he should have been someone's seizure alert dog or something along those lines. He's not a clever dog in the way Spike is for problem-solving or lateral thinking or imagination, but he has this instinct for wrongness that's been very useful.

It's not just fire either. When the kittens were small he'd come and alert me when they climbed onto anything they could have got hurt falling off, and one time I stupidly left a window open when the cats were loose, he alerted when Cassie got onto the windowsill.

It's not anything I taught him, or could have taught him. It impresses hell out of me.

Pi just whimpers and hides if things get smokey - so he'd be a whole lot of use if the caravan caught on fire :(
(Though I like to think I'd notice in this small space before being burnt alive).

Give Squishy a hug from me, good buy, wrong type of smoke but good boy! :)

Oh! *hugs Liz as well* :)
