Prayer Request -Update with Video

[Cincy'sMom]

I'd like to ask for prayer for a friend of mine. She works out of our Georgia office, and over the weekend, a fire destroyed her home. She and her husband were not home at the time, so they were uninjured, but they lost their 2 cats, and their dog a ~1 yr old Chocolate lab, blind since birth, is in intensive care at the vet's office. The dog is basically in an oxygen tent, with severe damage to her lungs. Of course, all their possessions were detroyed as well.

Thanks for the thoughts!

That is so very sad, all the way around. I'm so sorry. Do you think a bank could set up a fund for them? I'd be more than happy to do that or to help of the vet bill.

OMG - those poor people. The poor animals...I hope they didn't suffer, but that is a weak hope...

I trust the pup is being kept on painkillers...

Aw, I get chills when I hear these things. Swear I'm taking all of them with me each time I go out (NOT!). Too sad.

Hey, don't know the details for your friend, but this happened in Dec 2005, 9 houses away from me. The family woke up at 2 AM house on fire, all the people got out. The firefighters found one cat, tried the pet oxygen mask, but no go. Never found the second cat. About 4 days later, the lady went through the house with her insurance adjuster, and there was cat pee and poop in what used to be her bedroom! Took 3 weeks to coax the cat out, she was hiding in the walls, no idea how she survived, we had a deep freeze at that time. Woman went daily, left food out, and water. Finally, once the adjuster said he was done, she went in with a hammer and 2 other folks, and literally tore the wall apart to get the cat out. Poor thing was so scared, dirty as heck (an all white cat, wouldn't you know?). Spent 48 hours at the vet, the insurance co paid for the vet to do the bathing, clean up, health care etc. By this time the family was in an apartment, no longer in the red cross hotel suite. Took the cat home, ppor thing refused to leave their laps for WEEKS afterwards.

The vet said the cat probably left the house during the fire and returned after all the commotion was done with.

Anyway, point is, unless the firefighters found them, they "may" still be there.

[Cincy'sMom]

Thanks everyone.

Val, I don't know about any banks funds or anything. I know in addition to our company doing something, they are have also opened it up for associates to make donations through our HR department.

Freedom, One cat was found. The other had not been yet, so maybe there is still hope for it.

[Daisy and Delilah]

OMG!!!! My thoughts and prayers go out to this family(skin and fur). What a nightmare!!

In prayers for sure! I am glad they found one of the cats, and that they have set up a fund through the company.
This story is really scary...

Prayers on the way for sure....
Oh how sad!!
I hope the pup pulls through.

Maybe I didn't explain that well...they found the body of the cat. They are assuming both were killed, but the 2nd body has not been found.
