For Our Australian Friends

[tetonbabydoll]

Sorry, I don't do the news often, so I am just getting up to speed on this. There are no words....

I am truly glad that Ajax and Kentrosaur are safe and with us, but I would like for any other of our Australian members to check in with us, visitors too. This reminds me an awful lot of the fires in California a couple of years ago. It is unthinkable to me that people would deliberately set these types of fires, but that is what happened in California too. And here in Arizona a few years ago. One was set by a woman lost in the woods, she did it so helicopters would find her...the other was set by a part-time firefighter, so his company could get more work putting them out. Unfortunately, these two fires merged into one giant one....

So, anyway, I want our friends to know we are thinking of them, and our hearts truly go out to them and their loved ones.

Cheers teton I'm pretty lucky, I'm in an area that isn't effected by the floods or the fires. If we've got any north Qld'ers or Victorians - gives a heads up so we know you're doing okay!

Yeah Thanks Teton, Im very lucky to live where i live at the moment. I have lived in both the fire & flood areas at some stage in my life and im pretty satisfied staying put and out of harms way for now.

Glad you guys are OK! I can't believe the amount of life lost already. CNN just reported that the death toll could reach 200. So sad!

Wishing the best for all the Aussie's, humans and animals alike!
