be careful about blocking off your fridge. it needs to stay cool and have air ventolation. if you have an ice maker........get a solid copper tubing. my mom found out i had had ariel running loose in HER house while i was house sitting. the tubing ruptured due to some chewing. yes i was in trouble once again. stoves! i lived in one apartment that had a stove that ariel could get under. she loved it under there. when we went to turn on the oven we always had to check the broiler to make sure she wasnt there. this was of course after a few mishaps. she moved quickly, just singed wiskers! it was a gas oven, no piolet light. also we had to check for foriegn objects. some don't bake well. ie., toys. again a note on dryers........you can get an all aluminum vent hose!!!! do NOT get the plastic, except for toys! they can't scratch through the aluminum, or don't want to. also if you wire a (not window screen) screen across/through the exit of your vent this will also prevent mishaps. make sure it is on tightly!!!!!!! AND securely!!!!!!! zephyr the excape artist [Posted in FML issue 0908]
