Update on my friend whose house burned down
I posted a week or so ago about a friend of mine in TX who needed purrs
because her house had been destroyed by an arsonist. I've got an update on her situation. Her house *was* completely destroyed, and everything was lost. She did not have homeowners insurance, as it's painfully expensive when you live in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately an organization she does volunteer work with has provided housing for her and her kids and their cats. She was afraid that they had lost all of their animals except the two kittens they were able to grab. On later visits. though, they found (in good health) the prairie dog she had been raising and all but one of their kitties. The wolf and wolf-dog hybrid she had been raising were both lost in the fire. A local group got her a loaner computer, so she's in touch with the outside world again. I'm working with another buddy of mine in TX to get two networked PCs to her, so she'll have the resources to maybe get her online business back online soon. And the fire most definitely was an act of arson. Her electrical and phone lines were cut before the fire was set, so the perpetrator clearly intended for major destruction to occur. When a house is situated 15 to 20 miles from the nearest town with a fire department and gets it's water from a well, those two acts pretty well guarantee that the fire will burn for quite some time. The bottom line is that she suffered a horrible loss, but it could have been a lot worse, and they're all recovering from the loss as well as can be expected. All of the purrs that you sent her way have been working, and are greatly appreciated. Dan |

That is good news about the kitties & prairie dog, but so sad about the ones she lost. Continued purrs for her. But what a terrible setback for her. It is all so senseless. I truly believe in this case that "what comes around, goes around". I hope they catch who did it. Sherry |

Thank you for the update, Dan. So happy that more of the kitties were found unharmed, but very sorry about the animals that perished. We are still purring for this lady and her family. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |
