Pet Disaster Rescues - what a difference this time!

I'll never get the pictures of pets abandoned during Hurricane Katrina out of my mind. Thanks to the powers that be (and tragic past experience) things are different in the Colorado disaster. Hurray!

    Double ditto. At least someone remembered the history lesson in Katrina.
