Such a Sad Day


UPDATE TO THIS POST:

MAYZIE'S MOM HAS SET UP A PAYPAL ACCOUNT TO ACCEPT DONATIONS FOR SANDRA AND HER FAMILY. CLICK ON THE BADGE BELOW IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DONATE EVEN A VERY FEW GREEN PAPERS. For more details, please see Mayzie's blog.






We had a different post in mind for today, but somehow it just doesn't seem appropriate after the terrible news we heard.

Today we are thinking very sadly about our friends at The Pittie Pack. You have probably read on some of the other blogs how there was a devastating fire in their home early today. Thankfully the humans all escaped the fire safely, but five of their seven dogs died, including sweet Shelby who won all our hearts a few years ago as she fought to save her own life and her pups.



The loss of the life of each of these cherished pets is just too sad for words. Our hearts are very heavy and we send our deepest sympathy to the family and the two surviving pups. We cannot imagine the sorrow they must be feeling. The family has lost everything. We know there is a move underway for donations to be made from Blogville. We will share the information when we know more. If you can spare a few dollars, we know it is going to be put to very good use. We know times are tough for so many these days, but even if you can't contribute any money, please stop by their blog and leave them some comforting words. Kissa-Bull, The Pittie Pack.

When one of us is hurting this badly, we ALL hurt - sadly this is very true right now.

    Oh what awful news. I can't even think about losing several of my pups at once like that. Please keep us informed on how they're doing and how we can help.

    How devastating! I'm glad the office party is home and I can go hug and kiss the fur-girls momentarily.

    This is beyond sad -- what a nightmare. The chip in account is very easy to use and I think every bit will help Sandra.

    We can not even imagine how terribly heartbreaking this must be - to not only lose a home, but everything in it and the beloved furbabies as well. We are off to donate now.

    I pre-posted Half Full Friday last night and now I feel like I should've skipped it. I'm certainly not feeling very happy after hearing this news.

    I've got a candle lit for them.

    I didn't follow Sandra but did keep up on the progress of Sweet Shelby. My heart is broken for them.

    An awful tragedy. But it's gratifying to see that donations have already far outstripped the goal. The DWBs really come together in times like this.

    This is so sad. I can't imagine what this family is going through right now. I know I'm sitting crying and hurting for them.
    A friend of mine just got stickers for her house that are reflective and reads "In case of fire please rescue dogs."
    I'm getting some for my home.
