Dixie caught by a power cord

DIXIE AND ME
The other day I was working at the computer, and I had a couple of devices plugged in and charging.

Suddenly, Dixie came up beside me, and I realized with some consternation that she was tangled up with the cord that was charging a phone. The power strip came off the desk as she backed up, and I grabbed her to prevent more damage.

I hollered for Holly to come and disconnect Dixie from the cord while I held her in place. She got unhooked, and we had no major damage. I put the power strip back on the desk.

I'll just have to be more careful in the future.

It reminded me of this old post: Lady among the electrical cords.
