July thoughts...

It is almost a year after Katrina first hit New Orleans.  I never cried when I was down there.  There was no time.  I just focused on the task at hand.  Now I see my photos, my friends photos, and videos, and I hurt deep in my heart.  The thing that bites the most is that the devastation is still there today, July 20, 2006.  Even though Best Friends pushed the local animal politicians and stayed until the end of February 2006, I know there are some lost souls still out there.  My nightmares are about the ones that got away.

On the flipside of things. Animals will now be evacuated with people, and sheltered. The animal rescue community has grown stronger. Here are a few of the great people I worked with. This photo was taken about a month ago while we attended the HSUS conference.
