Dixie Belle, was the little poodle called Snowball? I just read a story about a little boy who wanted to bring his dog on the bus but the authorities wouldn't let him. The little boy was crying so hard that he threw up. I believe the dog was left behind. It just broke my heart....again. I "lost" it last night when I saw the old woman in a wheelchair with a blanket over her head, off to the side....dead. Next to her on the floor was another body with a sheet over it. It was just so sad. My heart is breaking that I can't bear to watch t.v. or listen to the radio anymore. I almost feel guilty. Here I am living my life while these poor people can't even get a glass of water, go home, find their loved ones, put clean clothes on, etc. It's just so sad.

I have a co-worker who grew up in New Orleans. Her parents and sister are okay but they don't know if they have a home anymore. My co-worker is devistated. Everybody at work decided to pitch in and make a donation. We're going to give the check to our co-worker to give to her family so they can buy essentials....deoderant, food, clothing, toothpaste, etc.

Dixie Belle, glad you're doing okay.
