I am up early this morning. I have had a lot to think about and quit sleeping at about 2:00a.m.; so I turned on the TV to watch the news.
Every network was reporting on the outbreaks of Wildfires in the Pacific North West. One station showed a clip of a woman leading several nervous horses down a country road in Oregon, and I immediatly thought of your's and Mike's place and your beautiful horses and other "critters". Please, tell me that your acerage is out of the Danger Zone.
Is this fire area anywere near you? God, I hope not! Nothing scares me more than fire!
When I was 7yrs. old I watched our house and everything we owned taken by fire on a windy March morning in 1955. My Mom had to go back into the flaming second floor and lead my Grandma to safety! We were all okay, but you can never outgrow the fear or the feeling of "total loss" that fire's destruction leaves in you!
I realize that even if the fire is NOT in your immediate area; it will have a profound impact on all wildlife and their habitat, and, as a result; you are probably due to see a lot more "wildlife resue cases" come your way.
(I am refering to past threads when you told us of skunks and raccoons and porcupines, etc.; that you have taken in.)
If you have the time this morning; could you or Mike come on and update us concerning any impact the fires are having in your area?
I will be praying that you and yours are spared any direct complications.
