Unhappy Be thankful

A woman I know on a dog message board lost everything today in the fires in California. She could only take so much stuff at one time, so she grabbed her dogs (forgot their meds) and went to load up horses. Only one was still alive. She got him out okay. She lost everything else. She had only the clothes on her back. She had bags packed by the front door, but authorities wouldn't let her back to get them.

She lost 5 horses, 1 cat, and all other possessions.

thank goodness for closeknit groups. Everyone on the board is gathering up clothes and gift cards and mailing them to another board member that lives nearby. Her Vet office burned down, too, so she has no records to be able to obtain the meds one of her dogs needs. She was able to get one of the meds, but the other is strictly regulated or something, so she's having a hard time.

For christ sake, she doesn't even have a place to sleep tonight.

I'm sorry to hear about the woman and her animals.

As for california and fires that is alot of thier own fault. They have regulated logging and forest clearing so much that you have alot of dry wood and debris. That state is known to make decisions that end up being wrong but take awhile to correct them. (think mountian lions if you think i'm mistake)
Hope they ease their laws on logging and hope that it gets these fires back under control.
