| So glad I'm the only one who got hurt. My DH never understood why I have a baby gate up in front of our tiny kitchen. Last night he realized why. I was cooking dinner, and managed to overheat the oil. I got a big splash of it all over my right hand and on the floor. Now my wrist and hand are burned fairly badly. Hurts like all kinds of get out. Had that gate been down, Lola would have been at my feet, just like always. She would have been slashed with boiling oil. Even as I was shouting, Lola was freaking out to get to me to see why mommy was crying. I was so happy she didn't get hurt, even though I did. Moral of the story: Baby gates! They save little lives from the dangers of tiny kitchens! (My kitchen is about the size of a closet)

| I'm so sorry you got burnt! That hurts real real bad, but like you said, I'm so glad Lola didn't get hurt. Smart thinking! I hope your hand heals soon.

| sorry about your hand, burns are the worst, you might even want to see a doctor so it does not get infected. My kitchen is open to the whole house and would be almost impossible to gate and it is a concern when I am cookings, since i tend to drop things, like a knife! this makes me think that maybe when I am doing allot of cooking to tie her so she is out of reach |

| Thanks you guys! I've always been a baby gate brigadier! I always wonder, what if I dropped that knife and one of the furkids were in here? OMG what if they sniffed in the oven??? I'd feel like the worst mommy ever. My mom taught me about gates, and I think they're the best for home pup/kid safety!

| DBlain you might wanna try an x-pen, or you can even extend several baby gates and put them together to make one big one. That way your pup can move around without being tied up. I also have a big crate I got for free from a friend that I put both of my small dogs in when I'm leaving or vacuuming. Keeps them safe and outta mischief. Lemme tell ya they are GOOD at shenanigans.

| I am so sorry about your burn. My grandma spilled oil on her feet a long time ago before I was even born and it was very bad she still has scars and gets pain in her feet off and on. I have taught Callie not to be under foot in the kitchen because I was scared of something getting spilled on her.

| I am so sorry you got burned. I know how bad that feels. But, like you said, at least your baby was at a safe distance. I got burned pretty good once when, after I'd just cleaned the range, my at-the-time DH came home and boiled something over. Without thinking how hot the heating element would still be immediately after shutting off the burner, I grabbed the thing with my right hand to remove it and clean up the mess. Immediately, I had the perfect imprint of the element on my palm. To add insult to injury, I had been making homemade doughnuts...cake and raised...all day and had the oil heating in the wok to fry the doughnuts in when this happened. I smeared my whole palm with my 'magic cure-all for burns' and wrapped my hand heavily in gauze and fried all the doughnuts with the hand. Next day when I removed the gauze, there was one tiny reddish spot at the base of my thumb. I do so very much hope you are better soon! {{Hugs}} I sent you a PM...
