I have a gas stove!
Well, normal morning with JoJo, I am in and out of the kitchen, all appears normal. I decided to go out back with the dogs and then got distracted moving tree limbs to an area near the fence. At that point, I either go around through the gate, or cut through the house, thank God, I chose the house!
Walking in, I got hit with the unmistakable smell of gas! Running to the stove, I found a burner on, unlit! I then grabbed JoJo, put him in his outside cage and ran out! Then doors open, fans on high, we hung outside!
The fear, looking over to his cage, well, you know!
We are all back in now, and all seems good!
Now for the mystery! The last time I used the stove was two days ago! I was gone most of yesterday. That burner is a very low temp burner, turned down is not much more than a pilot light! If left on, still lit, I should have seen it when I turned out the lights, either night! Wife came over with me for a little bit yesterday, she triple checks everything I do! If on and out, I should have picked up on the smell sooner! Why no buildup yesterday while not home?
Someone was watching out for my stupidity!
