Quoted:
Anyone else here heat with wood AND have dogs? I know, that's probably a stupid question to begin with. But...
Me and my wife have a wood stove and a couple of pit bulls. I don't know about your dogs, but mine can't get enough of it. My favorite is when they sleep with their heads under it while the fire's going.
It's pretty funny too, when you look at them it's looks like they're high from the heat. Always cracks me up.
Anyway, the wife came up with the perfect word for it tonight.
Stovebathing.
I thought it was perfect. Unless you've seen it, you just won't understand.

No but I have this psychotic cat with a deathwish. When he was about 4 months old he decided to try and jump up on the woodstove while it was burning.... he seared the pads on his paws and had to be taken to the Emergency Vet. We hoped it would cure him of his habit of jumping up on the kitchen counter too but it did not.
He also has jumped on several candles while burning. After only a year and a half I think he only has 3 lives left.
Also:
- Fell behind the washing maching on his back and nearly killed himself getting out.
- Got under laundry tub cabinets and mangaed to rip the cap off a bottle of ammonia and splash around in it.
- Was in the house when our water heater caught fire. The circut breaker never tripped but the fire went out on its own thank GOD!!! I came home to a house full of smoke and the cat nearly dead on the floor.
But he loves to sit by the woodstove still.... and he's cute.
