[Dailydrool] my montana moment.

[Leslie]

  I know a lot of you must be wondering about what in the world has 
happened here this past week.  Now that the tip of my thumb i cut off 
making salad is healing well.... I can type .
One week ago I woke up to a shock.  My house was very cold and the 
propane I checked .....tank Zero.   Called for an emergency next day 
delivery.  Done.
In mean time I had to check Shelter........check barn...check all the 
animals...coats were put on.....extra space heaters borrowed which blew 
out my electrical outlets/circuits.   So much snow that I had to call 
the fire dept. and cross pawsies they would come help me save the 
shelter runs from being caved in. They can hold 2 ft of snow, but if it 
rained at all......that frozen weight would do them in.   Only one other 
time many years ago did I have to worry about that. 2 young strong 
firemen came happily and offered to help Basset Rescue of MT>
Then the electrical wall heater kept shutting off in the shelter lobby 
and the water pipes are there so that problem became an urgent 
situation.  I had to call on backup for that!!  One of my mountain men 
friends who live way way up into the mountain came down to help me.  
omg....   was I relieved as frozen pipes would of meant to close the 
shelter till summer and hoping that none burst!
With elect. problems in the house here, it ruined the t.v. dish 
cables......too much snow and frigid weather got em..   The puter was 
down. etc  etc.
At one point just to get heat inside the house here, orange long 
extension chords I brought in to see which outlets worked and which did 
not. I have the highest respect for Electricians!!
I guess during all this I got stressed and so worried I called Chris and 
Jim Bly over in WMBR.   Friends for years now and I was exhausted.   
Chris dived into action and helped me think of what to 
do......especially needing funds.....Val, Trish, ..........well they all 
got together and now we have the quilt fundraiser on youcaring.com and 
the paypal for mtbassetrescue at yahoo.com with funds /ENOUGH NOW TO GET A 
FULL PROPANE TANK AND MEDICAL CARE FOR SMITTY AND HANK./
This overwhelming generosity shown to us from the Drool family has blown 
me away. I cried to know that so many of you care .    There are just no 
words I can express from me or from the Bassets and animals here on the 
ranch. To say THANK YOU to all of you just seems not enough but its all 
we have  besides much love from Basset Rescue of MT> to each of you .
Each one of you : an extraordinary person with a caring heart.  I know 
there are many more of you with harsher circumstances than us 
here.....floods, fires, Bassets leaving for the 
Bridge....ice.......roads not open...We have healing Drool to send you 
.....its just not /warm /healing drool. Plus healing drool goes out to 
you Debbie W.   !!

Doug D. i know I missed calling you for your Big Birthday.  So I am 
sending over to you a huge HUGE BIRTHDAY GREETING!!
And Chris Bly.....you stepped in to make all this happen since I am not 
a computer person much.....Your support and caring ......the emotional 
help to help get me past this is something I will never forget.   YOU 
ARE MY HERO.
