I decided to enjoy a soak in the bath at this dog sit, as the owner has set up many bath bombs for me to try out. After feeling spiritually attacked this last few days, I decided on the sage bath bomb (just incase I need a good smudging) with a nice helping of salt to help the cleansing process.
"Ahh, bliss" I was thinking to myself as I lay relaxing in the steam, with a hair treatment doing its work on my tresses.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and exhaled.
All of a sudden the house was filled with the piercing sounds of both smoke alarms going off. The dogs started barking, my heart leapt out of my chest, I sat up abruptly as my conditioned tresses fell and slapped my in the eyes, blinding me for the moment. I tried to find the towel and ended up wiping my eyes on my clean pajama top in the mayhem, only furthering the application of conditioner further into my eyes (my eyelashes feel super silky now though).
I leapt from the bath, blindly trying to find my towel and covered my modesty (really hoping the house owners didnt have security cameras at this point) and ran out to see what was on fire.
I held my towel up with one hand while poking randomly at the button on the smoke alarm until it stopped, tripped over both dogs who were at this point very excited by the activity and also the soap bubbles on my ankles, and trying to get involved in some stairway parkour as I tried to squeeze past them.
I finally turned off the smoke alarm downstairs, and stood, catching my breath. My eyes trying to blink through the blur caused by the chemical concoction of hair products seeping into them.
I saw no smoke, no fire, nothing.
There was absolutely no reason they both would have gone off at the same time.
I hadnt even used a naked flame. or the oven. Or plugged anything in that might decide to combust at any point.
I couldnt see much at all to be fair.
Just the Universe having a laugh at my expense as I stood there holding up a pair of freshly washed and now soaking wet pajamas bottoms around my lady parts, with a couple of giant poodles frantically licking my ankles.
Here, I present to you, yet another graceful moment in dog sitting.
It seems only I can set fire alarms off while sitting in water.
