Judy, it has always been obvious to me how much you loved your hounds---and I'm sure they knew it too!!! I'm still so sad about Renie---my heart breaks for you, losing Jack so soon after. I'm am so, so sorry .
Cross-post from a member of my Australian Greyhound Yahoo Group:
"I received the devestating news today that my cat Vet, Carole, has lost her
Husband, home and animals in the Kinglake fires on Saturday."
The count is expected to rise significantly. There are many areas that are completely cut off, and entire towns are completely gone. It was over 115 degrees with near gale-force winds on Saturday, creating firestorms of horrific magnitudes and speeds. So many people were caught completely off guard.
And the worst part? Many of the fires were deliberately lit.
