HUGE FIRE at Queen of Poop's Condo

And so glad to hear you are OK! How frightening for you and the furbabies.

Thanks again everyone. We're up early, it's snowing. I feel badly for the firemen who had to continue to put out hot spots last night. They're to test the fire alarm in our building later this morning. I hope to get to attend the parking garage later to see if my truck got "wet".

Kitties seem to be really jumpy. Any little noise and they jump, then freeze. We'll have a few days to get them settled down.

Candace, wanted to thank you for posting the info and for chatting with me while I sat waiting and wondering at the church last night.

Maggie, I'm sorry I couldn't answer my phone when you called. At that time we were being give an update.

That's OK - just good to know you're all (physically) OK. Let me know if I can do anything.

Just checking PT since yesterday and saw this post! Gayle, I'm so glad that you and your babies are ok. Give yourselves time to calm down and you will be ok - you can see that you have all the love and support of the PT folks with you . . .

What a horrible ordeal to have to go thru, but thankfully, you and the kitties are all okay.

Sending good vibes your way.


And just a note - grills are not allowed on patios at any apartment or condo complexes around here - for that very reason.

I'm so glad you and your kitties are safe, Gayle. What a horrific experience - not knowing exactly what was going on.

Thanks everyone. Still trying to calm down. Watching the news for updates on the fire, the cause and what happens now. In about half an hour there should be a fire alarm test in my building. It was not working overnight so they had people walking the halls all night just in case. I expect the kitties to be bothered by the noise. They're skittish and clingy this morning. Both are napping in their favorite spots right now. Diego especially has been all over me this morning. After the alarm test I'm going to go to the basement and check out my truck, heard it got wet down there, and make sure all is ok. The stress is overwhelming, but I'm lucky, I still have my pets and a home. Some pets perished in building 23 yesterday and over 300 people are now homeless. The building will be torn down as it is too damaged to be fixed. I have random crying episodes this morning, I expect to have that happen most of today.

Thanks again to all of my wonderful pet talk family. Where some of my friends failed me yesterday you all were here and tremendously supportive. I hope this is the end of the drama in my life. I've had about enough!
you all!!!!

OMG! That had to be terrifying for you! I would be a complete basket case.. Heck, I was crying until I got to your posts and saw you and your babies were back together and everyone is alright. PHEW! I am SO glad!

I'm just now seeing this, Gayle. What an ordeal! I'm so sorry that all this has happened but at least you and your furkids are safe, so there's something for which to be thankful. I do hope that the kitties are calmer now and that you are, too. Keep the faythe.
