my little dog interrupted me by going under or getting to close to the wood burner. She thinks she's cold and the heat comes into the living room. Have to pick up a gate this week so she stays in the room I want her to. She's old enough to know better but I want her to be safe. Most of the time she is in the chair with me, while I crochet. Didn't do that last winter and it still isn't cold. Goofy dog.
