The Day After what, you might ask?
The Day After Tragedy.
Amy & Allie |
And that's why we're calling today Fearless Friday, in honor of Sebastian and Amy and their family, who awoke this morning to face the day after a tragedy so fearlessly.
Some of their dear friends on twitter have begun a ChipIn account for them, just to help them get back on their feet (you know, insurance companies sometimes take a while to respond, but people still have to eat - we're funny like that).
And please hold a dear mutual friend of ours close in your hearts, thoughts and prayers today...she wasn't so lucky. Kathi lost her beloved kitty in last night's fire ... as well as all her earthly possessions.
Our hearts go out to her. *pawhugs*
This is just so sad. We clicked on the news report on the fire and Mommy got all leaky when she read that some pets did not make it...including Kathi's kitty. Our hearts go out to Amy and Kathi and everyone else who lost their homes and furry friends in the fire.
ReplyDeleteOMC, what a horrible thing to happen... thank heavens they made it out ok!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for updating. I put a link to your blog now in mine. I just feel so bad for everyone that lived in the building, and especially your friend who lost her kitty. It has to seem like some sort of nightmare.
ReplyDeleteWe know -- our hearts go out to them. Cannot imagine. Truly!
DeleteSuch horrible news... I am just glad that Sebastian and Dottie made it - that is so sad about Kathi's kitty. I have a blog post scheduled for the morning too. And I will have the ChipIn widget on my blog for the next month.
ReplyDeleteSparkle, you & your mom are awesome - thank you SO much!!
DeleteOh, my goodness, that's just awful. We're glad that Sebastian and Amy and their family made it out okay but are so terribly saddened to read that Kathi lost her cat. We're sending all in need purrs and universal Light, sending up purrayers for them all.
ReplyDeleteThis iz teh saddest nooz an we iz so sad fur efurryone hoo losted they homes and luv ones *softpaw*. Iz will add dat linky on mai bloggy too.
ReplyDeleteOh THANK you, Pandy!
DeleteOh my gosh, this is terrible! We will add the chip in information to our post later today. Thank you for letting us know!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Pip you're awesome - thanks so much!!
DeleteOnce again the animal community comes thru. I'll be advertising a lot today too on Twitter for those that might have missed out on the news. Hopefully, the chip in and comments from so many will assure them that thru this sadness, they are well loved.
ReplyDeleteWe think the comments will help as much as the ChipIn -- it's so important to have the emotional support, too!
DeleteThat is so sad. We are so glad you and the fur babies made it out all right. Thank COD for the blogger and Twitter world. Wish we could help more but we send many purrs.
ReplyDeleteWe've already shared and can't imagine the devastating loss. Thank God everyone survived. It was so weird, as I addressed the envelope of the Hello Kitty watch she won in our giveaway, I wondered where she lived. Lisa, thank-you for doing this.
ReplyDeleteI'll add your post to my blog too. This is so tragic. I feel bad for the kitties who lost their lives.
ReplyDeleteWe do too. Mommy just can't imagine...
DeleteOne of my biggest fears is fire and losing my cats. We met Amy at Blog Paws and she is a lovely young woman and our hearts go out to her at this saddest of times. We Chipped In, too and will also put the Chip In Widget on our blog, too...
ReplyDeleteOh thank you SO much! Our other friend, Kathi, just posted a picture of her furbaby in emergency care. He has severe burns but will most likely make it. Her other cat - Cosmo - was 14. They're still looking for him - but assume he didn't make it.
DeleteWe have leaky eyes for your friend that lost her furbaby. That's Mom's big fear. Candy won't come when called so Mom's terrified that in an emergency she wouldn't be able to get all 3 of us into carriers and out of the house safely.
ReplyDeleteI have the chipin up on my blog too. Mom & I met Amy when we went to blogpaws and we love them too.
Oh thank you SO much! Amy's been very strong & is holding up well. But she told me she just broke down & cried when she saw the generosity of the anipal community. Grateful beyond words!!!
DeleteI’ve seen this around the blogosphere all day. How dreadful and so traumatic for them all. Will contribute if I can figure out how xx
ReplyDeleteOMC and D! I'm so glad Amy and Sebastian got out safely. So sorry for your pal Kathi too. We'll spread the word.
ReplyDeleteYour pals,
Diane and Cosmo
We are so sorry to hear this! Our mom worries about stuff like this happening to us. We'll get our mom to chip in some green papers to help.
ReplyDeleteOh please tell your mom THANK you!!!
DeleteFanks fur suppawtin Sebbie & fambly, Iz purrayin fur them.
ReplyDelete@Isagold xox
Isa, fanks you sooo much!
DeleteWe're so relieved that Amy and her family made it out safely. We can't imagine how scarey this must be! We're so sorry for Kathy's loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Prudence! Once things settle down a bit for them, we're going to ask them if they've seen all these wonderful comments. We know everyone's care & concern will mean so much to them!
Deleteoh no! this is one of the scariest things to hear. we are sending purrs. upon purrs. upon purrs.
