Australia is in shock. The fires travelling at over 120 kilometers and hour have devastated many areas of Victoria. Over 100 people have been killed and that number is expected to rise. Many people have been unaccounted for and many of the injured people are not expected to live. Many dog breeders and exhibitors have been affected. Many lost not only their dogs but all their belongings and homes. Dogs Victoria www.dogsvictoria.org.au/index.asp has set up a relief fund to help the affected members. I urge any of you that can help in any way, to do so. DOGS Victoria Bushfire Appeal If you would like to make a monetary donation toward helping dog owners and their pets who have been affected by the bush fires please use the following methods: ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER Account name: DOGS VICTORIA BUSHFIRE APPEAL Bank: BENDIGO BANK BSB: 633-000 ACCOUNT NUMBER: 136225588 In the payment memo, please put your name or DOGS Victoria member number. POST You can post a cheque or money order to Locked Bag K9, Cranbourne, VIC 3977. Please note on the cheque you would like the money put toward the bushfire appeal. IN PERSON Cash or cheques can be delivered in person to the DOGS Victoria office at 655 Western Port Highway, Skye, VIC 3977. The offices are located at KCC Park (State Dog Centre). Claire |

Oh my God, this is horrible. Wish everybody the best they can get. So sad, all those people who died and animals that died. Saw something on the tilly to night. Dogs and koala's with burned legs and kakatoos without feathers.
Hope also, they will have it under controll soon

Our prayers are with all people and animals out there who directly or indirectly have been hurt through this disaster. The whole country must be in pain right now, even if you try to imagine, it's so horrific allready, let alone for the ones really hit by this.
I'm sure that everyone will help, besides donating we van all forward this to our family, friends, cobreeders and colleagues outside this forum.
Thx for posting and caring Claire, this makes you aware again of the real important values in live.
Warm regards and thoughts,
Robert, Leonor & weims
