My "kids" are lying at my feet. My home is warm and dry. The weather outside is calm. No gigantic weather storms are on the horizon. I am SO blessed! I thank those who are in harm's way. I thank those who are doing what I cannot. I can only send $$$ -- poor substitute. I've been trying to imagine what it must be like to lose everything and to not be able to find one's family members or one's best friends -- HORROR. To those on the front lines -- THANK YOU!!!!!! You have done what I wanted to do, GOD BLESS! Fran in Denver -- No one with good dogs is ever truly alone.
