This person has still not responded to me yet and I sent them a revised email explaining the mistake and advice on what kind of "den" would be best. I asked if they were willing to meet up so I could meet this lil fella. I agree with the whole bed thing my little girl is like my sleeping partner, it just doesn't happen that we are not snuggling, My bf get so jealous because her and I have a routine and shes always on my side. He wishes he has a Basenji teddy bear to sleep with heheh!

I just spoke with Chuck and they are still at the ranch. The winds have shifted a bit and kept the fire up on the hills. If it changes and they have to leave he will call me. Any donations will help just send to their PO box. He said the house and kennels would be OK in the fire. It's very clear around the place. The smoke would be the problem for the dogs. They thank you all!

If there is anything I can help with, please ask.

Thank you for the update Dan. I am trying to get the word out to everyone who has been asking.

Dan, thanks for the update, will send money too..

So glad to hear this. I talked to them yesterday and it sounded like they had a good escape plan, but this fire is pretty scary–I can see it all the way from my house.
My check, as they say, is in the mail.
-
Chuck said they have the vehicles with trailers backed up to the house in case they have to leave. He said it's difficult just trying get to the store.
Thanks again to you all on the forum for your help!! You all are great people! -
Hi everyone, I am so touched by the outpouring of your kindness, messages & offers. No new phone updates from Karen or Chuck yet, but I tracked the fires in the Acton area all day yesterday & today with the Forest Service & Reuters. Fires are all over the Acton area, & very close to their ranch. Here's a link to some photos of Acton, CA on Reuters.com:

Hopefully, Karen should surface soon. I'll let you know!
Thank you all! Maxie -
I just talked to Karen–they're okay. I'm so relieved, the fire is not near them and probably won't be.

Karen called me to say they are on high alert, but safe for now. They were told to evacuate, but then waited as big planes showed up and began dropping fire retardent (and are still dropping) on fires heading their way . Bulldozers cut one of the fires off at the ridge. Crates, trucks & trailers are on standby, ready to flee, but for now, unless the fires shift again, their need for emergency evacuation funds are on hold for now. Karen said to thank everyone for your support and will call or email you when this passes. Thank you, Maxie

Hi Rita Jean, Karen said to thank you for your wonderful offers. For now, the fires are diverted away from their ranch, so their need for emergency funds are on hold for now. Your prayers were so helpful. Maxter

Thanks Maxie for the update!

I sent a check yesterday & had a thought, which Karen confirmed–who knows when they will be able to get to their P.O. Box.
-
Chuck said even going to the store they got stopped on the road but were let through.
