I met a Hero

I met a hero once, and as much as I hate to say it, her name is SassyJazmine. Sassy is the ever so spoiled sibling of mine, living of course in the very same house. This is how the story goes.....

One night Mom was in bed sleeping very soundly. She woke up to Sassy sitting on her chest, patting her on the face, gently but repeatedly. As Sassy sat on Mom's chest staring into her eyes, Sassy patted her over and over on the face, willing her to immediately wake up.

Mom laid there for a little while trying to figure out what was going on. She has discovered Sassy draped over her like a blanket before, but never with Sassy sitting on Mom's chest insisting Mom wake up. Then Mom slowly started to realize something was wrong.

There was a noise, a strange noise in the bedroom. A buzzing sound, but it was rather loud and sputtery. When mom sat up, Sassy darted over to the dresser. Mom slid out of bed and went over to see what the heck that noise was and discovered the plug to the lamp was buzzing and glowing red!!!!

It was way too hot to touch, so mom yanked the cord and the plug came right out of the wall. The next day the wall plug was replaced, and also the cord and plug on the lamp. That could have started a fire and it could have singed my beautiful white fur!!!!

So that is my story, and I do hate to admit that Sassy did save the house and my pretty white fur. So she is my hero, but don't quote me because I will deny I said that.
