Stay safe Gail. Get out early. Take your dogs, your irreplaceables and run. Property can be replaced. I left my home in the Canberra bushfires and wondered if it had survived. Next time I'll be leaving even earlier.

Kirislin is back at her home this morning. It is still safe but the fire risk continues. :(

Kirislin has reported in from her home this morning. She is shaken but OK. :) I think some kind of community fire refuge in vulnerable towns would be a bloody good idea. Put it under a community hall or similar. A change of council building code to make a fire cellar compulsory would also...

Who would you like? :p

Kirislin is safe in Healesville. :) Sarsanet: If it was the Oldiron Airedales you were thinking of, they are safe Sarsanet but they are the only things their owners saved. It was the Parks' GSPs that died in the trailer. The Victorian Canine Association are publishing information on the...

A true hero in a time when the word is greatly over used. I'm sure other 'ordinary' Australians have done extraordinary things and few will receive the recognition they deserve. Some breeders have lost everything they own and/or their entire kennels of dogs. :( A family of Malamute folk...

Thanks Cartman! :D

Hi Tesa, I checked on DOL (I'm Poodlefan there) and Kirislin is safe. She sent her horse to a safe place and is currently staying with friends in Healsville. They will evacuate again if the town is threatened. I've not introduced myself here but hi to everyone and a special big hi to my hero...
