Fortunately for us it all turned out ok, neighbors bundled our kids into their trucks and our other kids (yorkie and quaker parrot) got placed in there too to keep warm.
Fireplaces are awesome but you have to be so careful with every aspect of caring for them. In our case the landlord had told us the chimney had been cleaned before we moved in, it wasn't.
I whole heartedly agree with our furry (or feathered) kids working their way into our hearts! Glad you all got out safely and hope the repairs on your house are over quickly!
Thanks. I appreciate it

She was crying over the house fire, but it's one of those things that can't be blamed on anybody. We should be moving back into our nearly new home sometime by mid May. The contractors are working hard, since they have a lot of work lined-up in the summer.

She has put-up with me for 30 years, so I can't complain at all
