[Dailydrool] Daphneyland Update - Tues a.m.

[Marie28443 at aol.com]

Here's a portion of an email from Dawn around midnight last  night.    

This will need to be brief, but wanted to give the a..m. update.....
 
News services are reporting clouds rolling in and moisture - possibility of 
 RAIN - my immediate thought is - the Drool being slung is arriving!!  
Thank  you oh gret Droolers - and the Houndie Bridge Team who moves that great  
atmospheric drool to those in need.
 
Today the smoke is very close to the ground - it's not unworkable - but oh  
the toll on the lungs!  Furbabies will be annoyed today as play time will  
be limited - esp. for the seniors.
 
FIre department is mapping and assessing containment this morning - you  
guys may have that info before we do 
 
 
The drool prayers are working as always - keep them coming!
 
Dawn and the entire gang of
Barni at Daphneyland - the home of happy hounds.
 
 
 
Dawn and I spoke briefly around 2 a.m. California time and she said that  
everything depends on the wind, which is being confirmed on TV news today.   
I've heard a lot of reports today that everyone is waiting to see what the 
wind  does.  To quote a fireman who was on TV, if the winds kick up, it could 
be  absolutely devastating.  That type of news we don't want to hear.   
Some areas are getting very light rain and the reports say that it's not enough 
 to have any impact on the fires.
 
 
I've had several emails from people asking how they can  help.  
 
Dawn and I put together a list of items they have an immediate need  for.  
Please check updates for additional items as she becomes aware of  them 
being needed.  Right now, the hounds of Daphneyland need the following  items, 
most are needed because of the dense smoke:  

Eyewash (Available at any drugstore or Walmart, Costco, etc.)
BNP Eye Ointment (Available at Walmart) and any type of ophthalmolic eye  
salve
Pure aloe vera  - (no dyes in it)
Cranberry capsules 
L-Glutamine powder
 
The stuffed toys the hounds play and cuddle with are all saturated with  
smoke and will have to be thrown out.  Dawn suggested that instead of  paying 
retail prices for toys, anyone interested in buying toys purchase them  from 
_www.dog.com_ (http://www.dog.com/)  or  _www.petage.com_ 
(http://www.petage.com/) .  
 
Gift cards for Walmart or Costco would be appreciated as they could be used 
 for items not on the current list.
 
If you would like to send anything to Daphneyland, please use the following 
 address, which is Dawn's parents' home:
 
BaRNI/Daphneyland
c/o Jim and Cathy Smith
5643 Shirley Avenue
Tarzana, CA 91356

If you have any questions about items that can be used for the Daphneyland  
hounds, please contact me off the list.  
 
We'll update you as further information is available.  Thank you so  very 
much for your prayers and Drool and please, keep them flowing.
 
Marie
