| Fire in San Diego!! Hi all~ Well, this fire is closer to our house than the last, within 2 miles, but it is travelling east away from us thank goodness, although we have lots of friends who are in danger. It started by the local high school here, Mt. Carmel HS and is now bearing down on the elementary school my youngest graduated from, Los Penasquitos Ele. School. It was a small fire when I left at 1:15 to go run errands and when we came out of the bookstore there was ash on the top of my car and the smoke was enormous so we headed home. I don't know if this fire making news elsewhere or not I wil keep you updated. |

| We are hearing the same thing here as they evacuate homes in the path of the fire as we heard during Katrina, that they cannot take the animals at the shelters and they are telling people to leave them with friends, the vet or the kennels. Again, for those of you who have qualifying disabilities, even if you think you don't need to do it, it may just save your dog in an emergency to make them a service dog. |

| Fire Kim, that is so scary! We had so many fires last year and so much devastation from them with the resulting flooding in the mountains. I hope you are going to be ok, and that the fire is contained soon. I will be thinking of you and all the others in your area, and hoping this year is not as bad as last year was. I have friends near Escondido who basically had fiires all around them at one point. Their home was spared, but I saw pictures of black, burned trees and shrubs in all directions around them. |

| Oh, and I almost wish I had some sort of disability so that I could make some of these guys service dogs. It would almost be worth it, to be able to keep them with you. |

| We are safe and the fire burned about 300 acres but no homes or structures so we were lucky! Thank you everyone for your concern. |

| Kim, I'm glad your home wasn't damaged. I was just telling my mom yesterday, I don't think I could evacuate and leave my dogs! That would be so horrible!
