Sounds like my house. But I got smart and finally got a small dog.

I put everything on the stove - why not? Books, computers, cell phones. My goodness, you would think this was weird or something.

I put my laptop on a cooling pad. It seems to work.

But I must admit I’ve never tried putting it on the stove, so who knows?

That was one smokin’ processor in that laptop !

(The poor pup probably felt neglected, and decided to take it out on the owner’s “toy” ;)
