Fire on the Balcony

About a month ago, Matt thought a fire pot on our outside table would be AWESOME for the summer.  We purchased one at Lowe's to create a little outdoor oasis for the summertime. The fire pot has citronella gel that you literally light on fire and can extinguish with this little metal disc.

Fire Pot

After about a week of dining out, I cooked a simple dinner after work. While Bryan & I were getting seconds, Matt was sitting at the table ready to dig in. Chai, still thinking he's about 30 pounds & 20" tall, ran under the table and got his collar stuck.  Panic-stricken, Chai backed up as fast as he could. Matt's plate, one glass, two sodas, silverware, salt & pepper shaker, parmesan cheese, and fire pot landed all over the outdoor carpet, the table landed on Matt's foot, and the fire pot landed on Matt's drying shirt. Fire spread to two of the chairs, Matt's pants (that were on him), Chai's whiskers, and up the wall where Matt's shirt was drying. Luckily, Matt put the fire out while I was grabbing the fire extinguisher. All is well! Thank God!

RIP Shirt!


So...... how was your dinner?
