Now that it is colder, we are burning wood in the woodstove. Rex, should have remembered that it could get hot, but he had to chase the cat, (well, she did have a dead mouse in her mouth!

) So of course, the cat went to hide under the stove. Dumb Dumb tried to crawl in after her. I told him to get out of there, and not until about 15 min. later, gave him a pet, and his hair felt like a pigs hair would. So, instead of Poohbear as his nickname, his new one is Dumbdumb. And believe it or not he is starting to answer to it.
The rest of the story is, said cat brought the mouse in from outside, thank goodness, and I herded her right back out!
