from Alexa's and JP's. I can't wrap my mind around the fact their home and
rescue is gone. <SPAN class=742161605-04052010> T</SPAN>he place is a
total loss. <SPAN class=742161605-04052010> Every thing gone, well not
the most important things their lives and most of the
animals.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=363475904-04052010><FONT face="Arial Narrow"><SPAN
class=742161605-04052010>Y</SPAN>es there are many things to be thankful for,
they are safe, and most of the kids got out safe and sound. <SPAN
class=742161605-04052010> A </SPAN> dear sweet senior basset girl by
the name of Wilma made her way to the Bridge and two wonderful birds Sunny and
Jerick and the Paul's cat also made their way to the Bridge. <SPAN

face=Arial> One</FONT></SPAN> old boy came home with me his name is Al<SPAN
class=742161605-04052010><FONT face=Arial> , he needs medical care so
I had the best set up for him .</FONT></SPAN> I want to thank all the folks
that came and took bassets home with them. Becky who sent an e-mail to the drool
came and took a basset to foster for us. Joni and Patty took care of making sure
every dog got a place to stay for now and took names so we would remember who
had who. Alexa and JP have been doing basset rescue in Washington state for over
30 years. <SPAN class=742161605-04052010><FONT
face=Arial> They </FONT></SPAN> are two of my dearest friends. I know
time will heal this and again there are so many things to be thankful for but
the tears still come. Thank you one and all for you help tonight.
