Hmmm, well, I got nothin'...zilch, zip, zero...fresh out of "zingers"...
JuneBillie,
Yes it was just heartbreaking hearing about the kennel and the animals. What's worse is that fire was started by a man who was trespassing on land and using a grinder on some metal part of his car, in the middle of bone dry drought ridden prairie straw (I say straw, as it was so dry the grass more resembled straw). We were all in a burn ban, had been for a long while.
The winds were 60-70 mph that day, yes 60-70...so it was a recipe for disaster. Once the wildfires start, they spread so fast!
It was also a Sunday, so the kennel wasn't as fully staffed as a weekday. But the owner hurried over, and the staff that was there raced about, just opening every area, even though it meant not keeping track of every animal, it gave them a better chance to live than being caged.
I looked back at news reports, it actually burned 58 homes as well.
Here's a link to a news article about it:

So we "Texas Panhandle People" are so very thankful for any rain we get..
Take care all,
