Fire in the fireplace
 

It's chilly outside so I have a fire burning in the fireplace. Persia is
absolutely fascinated. I'm not sure why, since this isn't her first sight
of it. But she hunches up in front of it like a big meatloaf and just
stares at the flames. If one of the logs POP she jumps! Then resumes her
unrelenting watchfulness.

Do you have a firescreen so the embers can't fly out (especially with Persia
so close)? I assume you do but thought it was worth mentioning as a
cautionary note.

See, Hopitus1 never woke up when the wood popped, and that's how his fat
back caught on fire, WITH a firescreen, while he slept in front of the
fireplace!

Absolutely it is screened. She doesn't get that close; the hearth extends
aboot 2 feet and her highness curls up outside of that.
