    fire :(

    My sister's friend had an awful day yesterday. Their barn burned to the ground. All 5 of their horses are gone. They also had some pigs and a bunch of piglets who are all gone except for a few that they found running around outside.

    They were all home when it happened but I think it was the sort of thing were it burned from the inside out so they didn't notice it until all the animals were already gone. This is such an incredible loss, not only the animals but the barn was a very beautiful barn.

    They were really into their horses, and this whole thing is just so devastating for them.

    Oh, Sara, how terrible! I know these things can happen, but when it happens to someone you know, it seems worse. I will keep your friend, and her precious animals in my prayers.

    Please pass on to her my love and prayers for her, her family and all the poor animals - she does know the R/B tale doesn't she?

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and with them. Such a loss is devastating, it is every horse-owner's worst nightmare. Do bring Carl over for some "animal comfort" for them, okay? Tell them we are thinking of them.

    I'm so sorry for your friend and her family. It's hard enough when you loose one animal but to loose that many dear ones at once is truely heartbreaking. My prayers are with them as the go through this awful time.

    Oh, how terrible. I am holding your friends and their animals in my thoughts and prayers. So heart-breaking.
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    Sara, how tragic! I am so sorry.
    My brother lost a horse in a boarding stable fire. He had been on his way to the stable to ride his horse in the morning and found a blaze raging. He was able to save a few horses, but alas, his horse was killed.
    How terribly devastating. My prayers go out to your sister's friend and her family.
