Always sad when Pet Pals are involved. Make sure you have a URL-rated power strip and do not attach high-voltage items such as coffee pots, microwaves, etc. Those items should be directly inputed into the socket. Unplug them when not in use. I know,,, but get into the habit.
If you have items you would like to donate where do you drop the items off?
