It was a jar that was filled with boiling water. My mum usually keeps it for ticks she finds on the dogs. I was carrying him around and was going to weigh him with the scales in the kitchen and I didn't realise the jar of water close to the scales was still boiling, I thought it was cool because everyone had been out for a bit. As I went to move it out of the way (and realising it was still very hot) my bp struck at it before I could even react. They're lightning fast, that's for sure. I guess I'll have to keep an even closer eye on him.
