Cheesewhiz Complaint: Brother Blocking

Cheesewhiz complained to the Hu-Dad yesterday of a problem she never expected—her brother blocking one of her favorite things.

Uh, Hu-Dad, we need to talk.
Uh, Hu-Dad, we need to talk.

When Cheesewhiz chirps her complaints during the day, Hu-Dad knows it is usually one of two things. She wants the door to be opened so she can come inside or go out into the yard. OR, she needs another log added to the fire to keep her room properly warm. But when Hu-Dad checked yesterday, she did not want out and the fire was in good shape. Her complaint? Her brother Frankie.

Innocent me? I never cause problems.
Innocent me? I never cause problems.

Hu-Dad launched an investigation and determined what the crime was. It seems Frankie was perfectly welcome to share her fire as long as he stayed on his couch. But his placement yesterday was causing some problem.

See my brother blocking the fire.

    The horror… disruption of heat distribution can cause great distress … I mean look at him taking all the best heat… I hope you had a firm talk with him

    I bet he is soaking up the very best of the heat, leaving you with left-over heat! You could always take a page from our Maizie’s book, she would just go sit on him! BOL (She does this to her sister, Sophie, all the time!)

    Oh my Cheezewhiz-how DARE your brother block your precious fire? I hope Hu-Dad told him to go back on the couch where he can lay without disturbing your getting the warmth of that wonderful fire?
