How close can your dog get to the fire? Photos please

Time for a new contest I feel. Inspired by BB singeing on the rug

Olyvia and Zarra nearly getting their noses burned.

Not that close but notable as the fire has been out of action until this week. They will not normally share a bed. Suddenly all personal space qualms quashed!

One of mine would get up the chimney if he could. Can't do pics. Sorry.

Hopeful, but it wasn’t lit.

As close as she likes. But this as close as she ever goes.

I’ve got one where he has his head on the hearth but can’t find it

It’s when you get that gentle smell of singeing fur.

Being trying to convince my husband we need a fire place/stove for ages. Off to show him this thread for further convincing

I had a terrier, little Al. I don’t think anyone knows of him actually, probably before I posted much on here.
He was pretty cool, a mixture of god only knows what!
He loved heat, he’d lie on the rug with his front end on the hearth leaning forward so his nose almost touched the wood burner glass. He’d do this until he literally couldn’t bare it and have to move away panting madly to cool down for a while, before returning to said position to start all over again.
Same in summer, the hotter the sun the happier he was. Sometimes he’d get so hot I couldn’t hold my hand on him!

They are taking it in turns. When one gets too hot they change places.
