<DIV>This will need to be brief, but wanted to give the a..m. update.....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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 great Droolers - and the Houndie Bridge Team who moves that great
atmospheric drool to those in need.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fire department is mapping and assessing containment this morning - you
guys may have that info before we do - for those who called asking abut various
other rescue groups in the area, let me just report this.....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Spoke with Linda Blair yesterday - she's only a couple of miles from us and
is holding her own - it's hard working normal routines while checking fire lines
every few moments.... she's holding her own, still on site and holding up fairly
well considering.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, Tippi Hedrens Shambala is the exotic sanctuary who decided not to evac
as they would shut down Soledad for many hours in moving the animals off the
property - they are staying and fighting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Rumor has it that DELTA also is staying and fighting, its hard to know for
sure as we have no direct communication with them - but we do have friends who
are in close contact with Leo.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Villalobos and Tia and the gang are to the west of us - smoke yes, possible
fire line? Very unlikely.</DIV>
<DIV>Nancy and The Brittany Foundation - same situation - reminds me to talk to
Nancy today as a matter of fact </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Second Chance - they are to the west of us by one road, and all appears to
be in the same situation as we are.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Animal Acres evacuated yesterday and as of last night, all farm animals
were out safely.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As most regular update people know - I randomly remember things and throw
them in - I have to tell you - I've been in and out of tears over the kindness
of the hounds friends - Dr. Young Kim, our amazing vet called yesterday -
offering any assistance he could - even to his office manager assisting at the
evac location - Debbie - you are indeed a true angel right here on earth.
Know how much your dedication to the babies means to those of us in the
trenches. Without your team - we would not exist. THis amazing vet and
staff constantly bring me to my knee's.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And with that folks - I must run - I'm late for the hounds - and that means
I will be told off - in no uncertain terms I assure you. 96 Hounds -
a sweet little lady basset is being picked up and fostered by the Strachans for
a few days today - she found herself abandoned at Lancaster shelter - she was
spayed yesterday and will be very happy for loving hands to cuddle away her woes
- </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The drool prayers are working as always - keep them coming!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dawn and the entire gang of</DIV>
<DIV>Barni at Daphneyland - the home of happy hounds.</DIV>
