Picture #27, Jimmy and Buddy Emerge from Stove

Today’s post is a spoiler — Jimmy and buddy are alive even though they fell down that bird-eating chimney! They’re just lucky that it was deactivated years ago by the new home owner, Bernie the Buddhist Dachshund. Of course, the chimney is still lined with soot, which explains why they’re so filthy. Bernie decommissioned the wood burning stove because it was a gross polluter with a big carbon footprint. He kept it as a lovely decorative antique. Bernie has a great sense of interior design.
