I know it isn't GSD, but DOG people need help! Ginger Cleary He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself. ~Thomas Paine My Ebay site Rome, GA http://www.rihadin.com/ -----Original Message----- YORKIE AND MALTESE BREEDERS/HANDLERS Mark Chilcutt and Frank Larrieu - Florida Mark and Frank's townhouse was completely destroyed by a electrical fire. Several adult dogs were lost as well as a litter of puppies. Some jumped out of exercise pens and Mark, bless his heart, was heroic and risked his life by running back in to save as many as he could despite the fact he too could have perished. Yorkies were frantically crying for help and Mark was so emotionally distraught by the fire, but the dogs safety were his upper most concerns. The fire was a total loss to them, everything, absolutely EVERYTHING was destroyed except for the clothing he was wearing and even that was not worth saving as it was smoke scented. Emotionally, Mark is too upset to even discuss the disaster but he and Frank are deeply greatful for everyone's concern and the many offers of assistance , both personally and monetarily.
