That may be a slight exaggeration but if nothing else she saved us a lot of money. We had a small fire in our bathroom this morning. Debra was getting dressed for work and had come into the bedroom to put her clothes on. She sprayed her perfume and about that time Ziva started pointing her noise up in the air and sniffing in a strange way. I asked Debra if she had left something burning on the stove. She said no but was headed to the kitchen to get the rest of her stuff and then head out the door. We all usually follow her and I walk her out the door. Well, Ziva was still acting a little weird and then I caught a whiff of something .....
Because of Ziva I decided to check the adjoining bathroom and bedroom before going to the kitchen. I opened the bathroom door and there were flames shooting up the back wall. We have a fire extinguisher and Debra brought it to me and once I got all the safety devices unhooked it was easily put out. Another minute or two and the fire would have gotten into the walls.
So in short, if I had followed Debra into the kitchen as our routine. We would have had a major fire. It wasn't quite a Lassie moment but because she wouldn't leave to go to the kitchen I decided to check. Good thing I did.
Funny thing I got a Fila to protect us from evil people. Cane fills that role well. When Ziva failed her temperament test, I didn't care. I told her that wasn't why we got her. We were here to take care of her. Well, Ziva girl, you are a Fila through and through. Mom's proud of you!
