Picked Teresa up at summer school today. Get to the house around 1:00pm. As soon as we walk into the door, it hits us. The smell of natural gas. I panic a little bit, thinking that there must be a leaking pipe or something. However, we walk around and find one of the stove knobs is turned on about a quarter of the way. This is one of the burners that don't ignite anymore. If we use it,we have to turn on the gas, and light it with a match. So, it's on, and flooding the house with gas. Fortunately, because it's been hot these past few days, we had a kitchen window open, with an exhaust fan going. Otherwise, it would have been much, much worse. Evidence on the stove showed that our dog, Pepper, had been trying to reach a pan that had some crumbs on it. In doing so, she had put her paw on the burner control and turned it. If she wasn't going after that pan, and turned it on by accident..... Then, she did it intentionally. She may be trying to kill us!
