Did someone say fire?

It’s taken me a while, but here’s the story…
Two Thursday’s ago, I got off work at 5 and was headed home. Had just “one of those days”, and all I wanted to do was sit, relax, put my feet up and do nothing! Boy was I in for it.
As soon as I opened up the door to the house, I got hit with the NASTIEST stench imaginable! I had never, in my life, smelled anything like it before. To me it smelled like a gas or a chemical type smell. I immediately opened the sliding glass door and let a little air in. I called Bryan and told him, what was going on. I stood by the screen door sucking in fresh air while I was on the phone, but that wasn’t enough. I had to get compelely outside! The smell was that strong!
Bryan and I agreed that it wasn’t safe for me to be there (being pregnant and all), so he told me to leave. Well, what if when I come back it STILL smells?!?! So, he said that he would call the fire department and for me to wait outside for them.
About 3 minutes later the huge fire truck AND the emergency “first response” truck showed up in our tiny little apartment circle. 5 or 6 firemen came up in their full suits and with little radar guns and gizmos, and were sniffing around. They looked as puzzled as me.
A few minutes later, one of the guys came out of our bedroom, exclaiming, “Found it!” Well, turns out Bryan had stuffed a bunch of CRAP on the top shelf of the closet and the light had gotten left on! The first thing out of my mouth was, “OH, I could KILL my husband!” I told him when he was shoving all that junk up there, to just go through and throw it away! So, here’s this fireman holding a little foam pet sofa with a huge melted hole in it!!! I could have died!
They told me that our clothes were going to stink pretty bad, and that we’d need to go through and wash and clean EVERYTHING. All the firemen started giving me laundry tips then. Told me what their wives used to get the smell out of their uniforms. I thanked them for the advice.
So the rest of the weekend was spent, washing clothes, and cloroxing walls (Bryan did that. Boy, was I nervous… him and a bucket of clorox on the carpet… ha ha).
All is well now. The whole thing was just so weird though, because there wasn’s any smoke. Just a nasty stench. Thank goodness we call the fire department, otherwise we would have really had a mess on our hands!!!!
FYI
Hey, everyone ask Jamie how she managed to catch her closet on fire!?

Ever since Daisy was declawed, back in July, one of her toes hasn’t been right. It swells up and gets infected and gooey! We’ve taken her back numerous times to the vet here in Dodge and it’s still acting up.
So, Mom took her to the vet in Cimarron. We figured the jerks here in Dodge weren’t doing anything for her. Boy is she one pissed kitty now! I was at work and so Mom took her for me. She called me when she got home. She held the phone up to the carrier Daisy was in… “Growl…. Hiss…. Growl!”
They said the infection is in her bone. I guess when the idiot over here in Dodge was declawing her he chipped the bone, and so now it’s all messed up. We have to give her medicine and if that doesn’t work, they have to put her under and open it up and clean it out. Eeep!
When are you getting Nala declawed and spayed?!?! Make sure when you take her in for the checkup afterwards you tell them to look over her incision, and each of her toes. They weren’t even going to look at Daisy’s paws, so I asked them, and guess what… Infected toe!!!
So I’m going to give her some goat’s milk (that’s her favorite) and suck up big time tonight!
