I bought candle holders to put in our fireplaces since they are too small for wood. (My house is 84 yrs old). I let my pup Olive smell the candles before I put them in the holder.

Later on a lit them and boy did she freak out. She barked and barked at them. Was so funny my other boxer Dutch just stared at her like she was crazy. To make it worse after I blew them out I caught her eating the warm wax. It was allover her muzzle.

Ping loves the fire in the fireplace and when we were out at the farm he did not seem to mind the bonfire.. if someone lights a lighter.. Ping runs over to stare at it, he gets closer.. closer... and when he starts to feel the heat he jumps back. He just stares at it like "what is that!?" During the winter he loves to sleep in front of the fire.

Abby, my 2 1/2 year old fawn female, loves the fireplace. We live in Ohio and some evenings get a little cold. When the fireplace is on Abby runs over and goes to sleep by it. I bought a fireplace screen so that she could not get too close. But when the fireplace is not on, and she wants it on, she will bark at it until we turn the fireplace on for her and she lays down and goes to sleep. (She is such a stinker. LOL)

We have to watch Coco around fire...candles, lighters, grill, etc. She wants to try and bite the fire. She doesn't really bark or anything but it doesn't seem to bother her to get really close so we have to be careful. When hubby lites a cigarette thats when she really freaks out...she doesn't like smoke. She curls her lips up and growls and barks and "spins out" with her back feet. It's halirious!!!

Scout loves the fireplace. The weather in Texas has been weird lately so we have used the fireplace several times this year. The first thing she does when she comes in from outside is jump up on hearth to warm up (we have a screen so she can't get dangerously close). She seems to be confused when it is cold and we don't have a fire. Looks at us like "What's up with this?". She has never been close enough to a lit candle to have any reaction (small children in the house so we have them out of reach), and no one in the house smokes.

I guess my Olive is just a weirdo. She barks at the hairdryer, vaccum.....and not the cake mixer. Gotta love boxers.
