Evacuations never end...

Long time since I've written. Amazingly since my last trip to Texas. I find that hard to believe but it's true.

Tonight I look at the news and see that my current homeland of LA is on fire with tons of animals being evacuated. Last week's hurricane Rita here in Texas caused my sister and recently operated on mother to evacuate Houston to Waco with dogs in car. She said fortunately that almost every car she saw on the way on that Wednesday was full of dogs. I hope the cats, birds and other beasts were considered as well.

The Katrina nightmare still haunts us all and who knows what will occur there and what will be found. Fabulous groups such as HSUS, ASPCA, E.A.R.S., Helen Woodward group, New Leash on Life, Muchlove.org and soooo many others are just the most amazing folks.

It appears that there will be no end to the suffering for these darling creatures. What we have to focus on is the good that IS occuring and what is being done and the hero humans. I went to stores today to lose myself from the stories and find that there are kiosks and stores that cater to those that love animals. There are so many of us and we have to keep that going ... and make others more aware of the plight of those less fortunate.

Do I believe that it can all be cured soon? No, realistically, but yes in the long run. Yes in the sense that with more exposure to what is really going on can more of humanity see what happens in the lives of animals worldwide.

I hope I can be one small spark in that light that can shine on the world.

With hopeful thoughts the clock strikes midnight and I off to bed knowing the doggies in this house are sound asleep in their crated area safe from harm and my kitties in LA are safe from the fires under the wonderful care of my loving friend Shanti.

Blessings to all.
