Poor aja, this must have hurt...
Last night I got into a rare mood and decided to forego my usual
Sunday night haute cuisine (pizza) and actually *cook* something!
("Now, where'd I leave that stove I had?")
Most of you are familiar with my infamous "peppers from hell", and
they were a key ingrediant in last night's Szechuan stir-fry.
Having run into a couple of rather painful situations in the past due
to touching various parts of my anatomy without THOROUGHLY washing
my hands after handling these peppers (don't ask!), I scrubbed
up and sat down to wait for the meat to marinade...
Enter Bonker-begging aja. I noticed her doing the "ain't I cute?"
act beside me, so I pointed my finger at her and she came over and
sniffed it. Bad move...
I seems the pepper oil (habineros) I used resisted soap and water
a little more than I expected. Immediately aja started jumping about,
and shaking her head back and forth and generally acting like she
had something hot on her nose. I grabbed her and ran to the bathroom,
intending to wash her nose, but she scratched and hissed and finally
escaped to the studio.
Well apparently the heat wore off pretty quickly as she calmed down
in a minute or two.
Even thought I know she was in pain (I washed my hands 4 or 5 more
times and *still* got some oil in my eye taking out my contact lenses),
now that it's over I kinda chuckle at her gyrations...
No wonder the animals leave my garden alone!

.0 makes me think of what happened with Tas and the stove this
past weekend. He's at *that* age - 5 months - where he's big
enough to get where he wants to go, but not yet smart enough
to know where he shouldn't go.
Andy was cooking on top of the stove, but was warming plates
in the oven. He opened the oven door to get at the plates,
and of course, Tas wanted to see what food was in the offing.
Even though Andy said *NO* in a loud voice, Tas still jumped
up on the door and immediately began to tap dance his way off!
It wasn't hot enough to burn his paws, thank goodness, but it
sure was funny to see :^}

Deja always gets up on the stove, but, only when it is off. It's
amazing how she knows the difference.
