    I always knew Sas was a "hero"!

    So, my mom left a candle burning unattended. Stupid move on her part, she even admitted it. Anyway, a paper towel was on the counter right next to the candle, stupid move yet again, and well it caught on fire a little. I am guessing Sassy smelled the burning or something and she started barking frantically. Now, my dog doesn't bark unless something is odd to her or she has to go to the bathroom when no one is downstairs. I ran down to see if she had to go to the bathroom and saw the paper towel burning. Quickly got a cup of water and dumped it over the fire. The burn was very little, so it was nothing major.

    But honestly, who knows what would have happened if Sassy hadn't barked? My mom is so proud of her, both my parents are. They wouldn't stop hugging and playing with her. Not to mention the extra special dinner of chicken she earned.

    I am so proud of her! I know, the acts were stupid, and trust me it is never happening again in this house. My mom said we're never burning candles again, even though she loves them lol. Let us see how long that lasts...

    WTG Sassy! Such a good girl barking!

    Advice for the naughty Mum:
    It'll be OK to burn candles again... just don't leave them unattended. Always clear the area around them first... make sure there is nothing that can topple over onto them. No matter how long it says you can burn them for get into the habit of only burning them for half an hour. Set a timer if you have to. If you have to walk away make sure to check on them at least every five minutes. IF you think you'll being doing something that will distract you too much from remembering the candle, then wait until you do have time.

    Following that advice i have never burned anything that i didn't mean to burn (besides my hand when i was younger and still learning the rules of life.)

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    Good girl Sassy!!!

    Suggestion: Bed, Bath & Beyond sells flameless candles that are run by batteries. Alot of our customers buy them because they have little grandchildren, pets, etc.

    Glas a tragedy was averted!

    Great job, Sassy! I bought a "flameless" candle around this time last year to put in a little Halloween decoration. Cassie Kitty LOVES to watch candles burn and that makes me really nervous. This one looks like a lit wax candle, she is fascinated by it, and I don't have to worry.

    Good girl Sassy!! Another thing your mom might want to try are electric candle warmers. I know my mom would burn the house down for sure if she didn't use those.
