Periwinkle paced in front of the Teleportation Tunnel while waiting for her boyfriend, Stinky, to arrive for their Adventure. She quickly groomed her furs and saw the Tunnel shake and, with a WOOSH, Stinky popped out into her waiting paws. They spent some time snuggling, whisker kissing and paw patting. Eventually, Stinky asked her what she had planned for the day.
"Yesterday was Pet Fire Safety Day so I thought it would be good to remind our friends of things they can do to keep their pets and family safe from fire." Sinky agreed it was a great idea and the two set out to demonstrate some safety tips.
"Let's start with one of the obvious dangers to pets, open flames," said Periwinkle. She went on to say "My Mom doesn't use candles anymore and has switched to flameless, battery-operated candles"
Both Tabbies agreed these...
"Pets are naturally curious, and won’t hesitate to investigate candles or the fireplace, not understanding the consequences of getting too close. Never leave your pets unattended around open flames, and double-check to ensure they’ve been fully extinguished before leaving the home with your pet inside. We have an electric fireplace which is safe (and easier for Mom)"
Periwinkle said she hoped her Mom didn't get mad but she had to share the messy wires under the computer desk and explained that wires can be dangerous if your pet chews them...
"My Mom ordered these for us on Amazon" said Periwinkle.
Both tabbies agreed that smoke detectors were impawtent too and that batteries should be tested regularly.
When they were done with the video, Periwinkle took Stinky by the paw and led him to her Mom's car for a short ride to the beach. "I have something I want to show you," she said. Of course, Stinky had to run up to the beach access and jump on the handrail. Periwinkle sighed but was glad he wasn't up too high.
"Remember how we saw the baby turtles being born on the beach? I wanted you to see the tracks the mommy turtle makes when she lays her eggs." Stinky was amazed at how far the mommy turtle traveled up the beach.
Periwinkle pointed out a sign that explained about the next and warned people not to disturb them.
It was almost time for Stinky to head home so they went back to Periwinke's house for a snack and to visit her fursibs and her Mom. They spent time whisker kissing and paw patting before Stinky had to leave. With one last whisker kiss, he hopped into the Teleportation Tunnel and was on his way home. Periwinkle decided to watch the video again with her Mom and fursibs and then took a nap and dreamed of her handsome boyfriend.

What an interesting time at the beach for Stinky and Periwinkle! And, those were all good fire safety tips for pets!
WOW....now that was quite a day. A reminder about fire safety and a fabulous visit to the beach to see where the turtles lay their eggs....we hope the eggs will be safe until they pop out a new batch of sweet turtles who will return to the sea! Thanks for a fun, informative and timely adventure you two!
Hugs, Teddy and Mom
This was a wonderfully informative post. Thank you Periwinkle & Stinky. Our mom is super afraid of fire and is very careful around our house, We do have a gas stove. A very long time ago, our fursibs, Chloe, got too close and burnt off some whiskers. Our parents stay very vigilant when using the stove. Sawyer sends Noelle oodles of paw hugs and love, and Stinky thanks Periwinkle for including the trip to the beach. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta & Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer, Kizmet, Audrey & Raleigh
That was a wonderful post sweeties and such important information for all of us!
Such a wonderful and most important adventure. We worry about fires too. We're ever so careful with our stove too. No candles here or anything that the kitties can get into and hurt themselves.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to all the kitties, a smooch to Sawyer and a big hug to the moms. ♥
Oh Stinky and Periwinkle how I would love to be on a beach to watch sea turtles nesting. Just amazing thank you.
and for sure the fire info
Hugs Cecilia
MOmmy said she remembers that when she lived near you all.
Fire safety is very important, and please remember to be watching your appliances and not using old ones, those that overheat, or anything with frayed wires.
Anything with a motor or heating element can burn! We've had a refrigerator, a washing machine and two dishwashers catch fire and an old coffee maker almost did. The fridge can't be helped, but the other appliances are never, ever used unless we are home and in each case we stopped the appliance and made sure the fire was out right away.
Never leave a dryer or other appliance running when you aren't home to supervise, unless it's the fridge, and keep it free from hair and dust on the coils.
The fridge burned because my foster son didn't know to unplug it while cleaning it, he kept it open for over an hour while cleaning it out and it overheated. Be sure to turn the fridge off to clean it.
Great post. I bought a bunch of those window stickers and gave them out to everyone at our holiday party last year. XO
Those are some great fire safety tips, Periwinkle and Stinky. We have those stickers on all of our doors and windows.
We hope all the mom turtle's eggs hatch and do well.

Oona: "Fire is a fascinating thing! The other day Mama was burning a tick that she found on her arm and Oona was very interested in investigating the lighter. For some reason, Mama wouldn't let Oona do it."
