Well we had a bit of a scare Christmas morning...
My in-laws live in NYC, so we go up every year for a Christmas time visit. This year was great. Her dad rented a cabin upstate, so we got a little time in the "country" in addition to coming back and getting some city time.
We have 3 dogs at home and a great pet-sitter that stays at our house here in Houston.
We're sitting around Christmas morning, having coffee and mimosas etc. Wife gets a call from the alarm company, reporting a fire. Wife's anxiety shoots through the roof and becomes close to hysterical.
Call the pet-sitter, no answer.
Call the neighbors, no answer.
Look at the ring camera and see the fire trucks pull up.
Look at the interior camera and nothing is happening..
After a tense 15 minutes and feeling pretty helpless being so far away, the pet-sitter calls her and says everything is fine.
Steam from the guest bathroom set off the smoke detector/alarm. π
Switched to whiskey drinks after that.
