This heat wave has been causing some problems! It has been so hot that the apartment has overheated. Yesterday Bald One decided to open the door to the balcony to let in some air. All kinds of bugs found their way in. Bald One was at the computer ignoring me (he said he had an important paper to write, I think he was up to something else) when a gigantic bug flew in- you could hear it! And it flew right into the halogen lamp and there was a loud zap- score one for us!
A little later I smelled something funny and then saw smoke coming out of the lamp. That dead bug had caught fire! The lamp went out and the apartment filled with smoke. Meanwhile, Bald One was ignoring the problem so I had to bark to get his attention. He panicked, screamed, and ran out of the apartment so I was forced to take action. First, I went into the hallway to pull the fire alarm. Unfortunately, the alarm was set about three feet off the ground. I jumped and jumped and could not reach it. So I came back inside to get the fire extinguisher. It was heavy but I managed to aim it at the lamp and put out the blaze, just before the sprinklers went off. Bald One eventually came back when things were safe was very thankful I rescued the apartment. What a wimp.
Maybe a little bit of that story was just a little bit inaccurate. But it's the way I choose history to remember me.
