For Christmas my wife bought our daughter an "Electric Heated Plush Throw".. and its destroying my life!!
A few weeks ago the daughter left the blanket on the couch still turned on. Molly, who for some reason is allowed on the couch while Kevin is not, walked across the blanket and INSTANTLY fell over asleep on it.
She hasn't moved since! From 7am - 11pm that dog is sleeping (SNORING) on that damn blanket. My wife and kids think it's cute so they keep turning the blanket on for her. It's like a drug to her, She could be playing/jumping/trotting along but the instant she hits that heated blanket she falls on her face asleep.
What makes it the worst purchase ever?!? The time between 11pm - 7am.. She's been sleeping so much during the day that she is up-all-night. And when she's up all night Kevin is up all night. The dogs playing 'Doggy-Destruction' (running around the house, barking/chasing each other, knocking things over) is cute during the day... not at 3am.
I haven't had a solid night sleep in weeks.
I've tried to hide the heated blanket... but my wife and daughter keep finding it and putting it out for her. (They dont have to go to work at 6am each morning!).
My new plan (insert evil hand rubbing emoji here) is to take a lighter to the blanket and burn a small hole it it. I'll make it look like it caught fire.
"Oh No!" i'll say.. "This blanket isn't safe".. "We must put it in the trash immediately".
Wish me luck!! I need to get those dogs back on a normal schedule so i can sleep!

Problem solved.
.... disconnect the heating element... they will not know it isn't working unless they go to use it, but Molly can't tell them.... 'hey, yo.. heat is not on'.
