What a tragedy!

February 1st, 2013 at 09:50 pm

I had an appointment this morning to take my puppy, Abbey in to get groomed. I got a call this morning that my appointment had been cancelled.
My groomer's house burned down to the ground early this morning. Their little poodle dog (just like my Holly) woke them up with her barking and saved their lives. The husband put the wife and dog out the window and went to save the pet bird. The bird escaped and the husband suffered from smoke inhalation and had to go to the hospital. They lost everything. I feel so badly for them.
I am going to give them a check for $1000 to help them out. I am so glad that they got out in time.

    That is awful!! But how very nice of you.

    My parents' neighbors house burned to the ground last year. We've had a few Christmas Tree fires in our neighborhoods over the years, but in this neighbor's case they never figured it out. Was during summer? The authorities think it was arson. ??? They will be okay, but were left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Just horrible! At least no one was home at the time. This was a case where I could just not imagine losing everything in the blink of an eye, just like that. They were able to salvage a few mementos, but certainly not much.
