Oh, man, you really know how to annoy your wife, don't you? It is, of course, all your fault, and if you don't get it fixed NO LATER THAN YESTERDAY, you'll spend the night outside with the pooch.
I do wish I could hazard a guess about the problem, but all I know about such matters is the thermocouple that keeps the pilot lit. And it does seem that you do not have that issue. I will cross all my fingers and toes for you, wish fervently for somebody to come on here with a simple/cheap solution that actually works and can be implemented in minutes. Good luck, buddy.
