Posting real quick cuz I am BEYOND EXHAUSTED! Didn't have to be to work till 7:00 this morning, but we had some people come in as I was getting ready to close with an emg. boarding need for their dog, so I stayed and did their paperwork and stuff. Didn't get out of there till almost 7. That's 2 12-hour days filled with scrubbing floors and mats, pottying doggies and cleaning up after them, etc. Basically the same thing I do at home... but then I have to come home after 12 hours and do it all here too! My legs and feet are KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <br>Anyway...... So far, thanks to shifting winds, Rachel's house is ok.... knocking on wood!!! Thanks for thinking of her you two!! -- Piggy's Pad

Gilly Bean took a bad fall today too. I was holding her in one arm and holding the phone with the other. Goose and the other dog I had running around in the office with me started barking, so I stood up to see over the 4.5 foot-tall counter to see if somebody was coming in. Gilly leapt out of my arms to stand on the counter, only she slid all the way across the counter and fell to the ceramic tile floor. She started screaming... I about had a heart attack. She went into mild shock and was completely white... She's ok.... some bruising around one eye and a couple teeth are a little loose and bloody at the gum line, but no broken bones... THANK GOD. I think I aged 40 years tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (NT) -- V~, 7:21:27 pm, Thu, 10/25/07
I joined an online group for people displaced by the fire so I can keep on top of things for Rachel. So many sad stories of people not allowed back up the mountain (were at work when the evac notices came out) to rescue pets or get belongings. Animal Control is doing what they can... but so many lost their homes AND pets. More than 2 of the fires have been arson. They've caught one guy, killed another guy, and one got away.... but all those little fires were put out, thankfully. There are multiple reports of looting, and they suspect a lot of the smaller fires are arson related... tho very hard to prove at this point. They could be from the fires jumping around from the high winds, but too many reports of suspicious activity.... (NT) -- V~, 7:29:18 pm, Thu, 10/25/07
This world is full of SICK PEOPLE! There's already a lot of scamming going on too.... people offering to check on homes and then charging people before they'll give them the news/photos or whatever. Lots of assholes coming out of the woodwork to take advantage of peoples' grief. (NT) -- V~, 7:29:46 pm, Thu, 10/25/07
Ayone who comes in and takes advantage of these people who have lost everything should be shot on sight, in my opinion. Yup, assholes they are and I can only hope that someday, what goes around comes around. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:22:35 pm, Sat, 10/27/07
Poor Gilly!! I'm glad she seemed ok right after the fall..how is she today/tonight??? (NT) -- Kate, 9:05:55 pm, Fri, 10/26/07
That fall would have scared the crud out of me too! I worry about Molly with those frail little Chi legs! I've never had a wee dog. Lex and Liv are small but so much sturdier than Molly. I can imagine the scream too and it would make my stomach roll! Gald she isn't badly hurt. Some long hours there! I know you have to work right now but this sounds awful. I hate being away all day and playing catch up. Glad your friend's house is OK. I can't believe the crappy people out there either. It's hard to imagine someone that can't see how they are hurting other people and if they do, they don't care. Are you able to see the effects of all that smoke in Az.? (NT) -- Denise, 12:42:37 pm, Fri, 10/26/07
My feet would be gone after about 30 minutes, the legs shortly thereafter and the back would take about 30-45 minutes. I can understand why you're exhausted and hurting. I'm glad Gilly didn't get badly hurt and hope she's all back to normal by now. That would scare the crap out of me to have her slide off the counter like that.

I've had something similar like that happen with the cats. We have my grandparents antique library table in front of our double living room windows and to protect the top from kitty claws, we found a doggie crate mat that fits perfectly. The cats love it because it's so soft and fuzzy. Anyway, they've been known to jump up on the library table at a full run and slide the mat (even though it's got a non-skid backing) right off the table and onto the floor.......with them on it!!! Thankfully, no one has ever gotten hurt but it can sure scare the humans in the household. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:20:35 pm, Sat, 10/27/07
