Momma's Hero

Momma am calling me her hero today. She gived me a great big hug and kiss and fed me breakfast way a'fore she usually does. Know why? A'cause she says I saved her life! There was a loud scary noise that kept saying "fire, fire" over and over and Momma was sleeping through it so I wented into the bedroom and pushed her with my paw until she waked up and heard it herself. She opened the basement door and a big puff of white stuff came up in her face and maked her cough. She picked up the fone thing and maked a call and said her house was filling up with smoke. Then, she taked me real fast and put me in my carrier and woke up the old lady next door. All three of us wented outside where it was really cold. A bunch of monsters with wheels came with lights on. The nice cop beans that camed and helped Gramma a month ago camed back and tolded us to wait for the firemen. I didn't know what a firemen was until I sawed that great big monster with wheels coming...

A'member when I tolded you about the monster with wheels that keeps going back and forth running away from something while it's crying and how I thought it was a'scared of something? I was wrong! It wasn't crying, AND it wasn't running away from something...it was yelling to other monsters with wheels to get out of the way. It camed to my house this morning. A bunch of beans gotted out and went into the basement where that white, stinky smell camed from. They said it am the furnace (that nasty monster that growled at me all winter) and that it maked lots of smoke come out into the basement. It am ok now a'cause Momma turned it off until it will be checked out by a 'fessional. The beans are called firemen! And know what? Some of them knew my Momma! They go to church where Momma waves her hands at the beans as they sing to her. In fact, Momma snuck a picture of one of them...

This am Rick. He maked sure the house stopped smelling like stinky stuff and opened all the windows and put fans on to make the white stuff go away. He wrote about how they camed to the house at 7 in the morning (a'fore my breakfast) and how they fixed the problem. The firemen am real nice beans just like the others that camed to help Gramma a month ago. We're all safe back inside our house (but it is a bit cold). Momma am keeping Tangie covered a'cause the windows are open and it's too cold for him. I told him he could stay inside my mouth and warm up but he said no.
