Fire!

The news of the day is very bad indeed. We have a raging forest fire north of us. Over 55,000 acres have burnt so far, many homes, cabins. and resorts gone. We have friends that have had to evacuate and may not have a house to return to. The fire is about 20 miles from us at present. We have packed both cars for quick evacuation if needed. Last night I video'ed the entire house and contents. We had ash all over the property. Thankfully the winds died down, and the immediate threat seems to have subsided.
The fire has been overshadowing everything else around here. Our little county will not be the same in my lifetime. Some outfitters and resorts will not survive. Even when the fire is out, customers will not come to cabins surrounded by burned forest. We are a tourist town that will be very hard hit by this. Very, very sad. All started apparently by an unattended campfire.
On a brighter topic, Tippy is becoming more settled everyday. She now sleeps most of the night without crying or needing to go out. She will be a great dog for us. We are learning the signs and times for a quick trip outdoors. She and our Bichon Jasmine now play together without problems.
In the next week I will report on my progress, much to report, but today just isn't the day for it.
