Friday the 13th was a good day.

It is now Saturday and I have just realised that yesterday was a Friday the 13th.

What a FEEL GOOD day it was.

Since the rains there is a tinge of green growth in the fields and some new shoots are growing out of the blackened tree trunks, a wonderful thing to see.

In Kinglake Luke, Glynis and myself did a total of three house calls delivering dog coats, dog beds and kennels as requested by the survivors. We are doing so to meet the needs of the dogs in the interim whilst people rebuild.

I am pleased to be able to tell you two dogs, that were to be relocated into our foster care are now able to stay home with their family safe warm and dry. Coats kennels and trampoline beds that we delivered, making all the difference.

The dog ramp we mentioned in a previous post has been collected and work is being done to get the dog used to using it. Her owners who have currently had to relocate to the suburbs whist they wait to be able to clear their house block, were very pleased.

We dropped off a number of large trampoline beds at the Emergency Animal Relief Centre. People with large dogs had taken all the goods by the time we returned to collect our supply request forms. None of these items are luxuries, rather practical solutions.

One of the joys for us is the contact we have with the families, individuals and of course with the dogs. In a typical understated Australian way people are chuffed that there are so many of YOU out there that care.

Our supporter's page is growing at a rate of knots, please support these companies if they have products that you need in your everyday lives. We have a small timber supply company donating 5 large solid timber kennels and they will make them at cost as further orders are requested. Obviously they will be unable to make enough kennels to go round so YES we still do need the donated ones. It is a real case of many hands make light work.

Thank you again for your hard work and support!
