We took all the smoke detectors out of the ceiling when they ran out of batteries and started chirping at 3am.
I guess we’re all gonna die if there’s a fire.
So it goes.

I did the same thing. With me, I’m so short that it’s a real chore to deal with those things.

I bet! Having to drag out a stool or ladder is a lot of effort.

We don’t really need the detectors to wake us. One tiny ‘peep’ from them and the dogs go wild. Who could sleep through that?

Eos, our new arrival, is just starting to get the confidence to bark. She’s not yappy like Trevor, but has a fairly high-pitched, almost musical voice.

I have a tiny apartment and my smoke detector goes off if I cook chicken on the stove. I’ve had it unplugged for months. Probably not a good thing…

Ah…the midnight chirping. Why does it happen so early in the morning? Nice slice of life.
