Re: [pyrnet] Smoldering Pyr

I'm glad to hear she was not harmed but for that simple fact, it does have some humor to it.  Guess you'll just have to hose the area down the next time and confine her for the night.

We watched the fire late into the night to exercise due diligence with regard to safety in our wooded area.     Next morning, when hubby went out to do the morning critter chores, Ombre was literally black and smoldering and required extinguishing.  She had laid on the ground where the fire had been (guess it was invitingly warm) and live embers not only scorched her, but her fur was burning.  We're grateful to have discovered her latest escapade before her skin was burned, but she has a big ugly, nearly bare, scorched spot on her shoulder.  
    Ombre is our first Pyr, but I've never heard of a dog catching itself on fire before.  We will certainly be more cautious in the future, but thought others might be forewarned.
