[MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] - How's it going for these folks? Update? It's the saddest friggin' thing EVER. I get so pissed (not drunk, you Canadians. I mean MAD) when something horrible happens to GOOD PEOPLE. It's not fair! I mean, why couldn't Michael Vick's house burn down (with him and his kennel people in it) or that idiot creepo from Penn State? How do you sort that out in your mind anyway? There are awesome people, helping others and doing very selfless work, and it's the jacknobs out there that nothing bad ever happens to! **scream***
Hello Dear Friends
My name is Marti and I'm a volunteer with SoCal Bulldog Rescue and a very close friend of Val's whom I consider a sister. I have been at her side since the day of the fire up until a few days ago when she finally was moved into a rental home. She is doing ok, she misses her beloved pets terribly. Two of her male bulldogs survived, one by exiting thru the doggy door and the other was a miracle boy, he came flying thru a wall of flames when the fire fighter broke the window, he said its a miracle he survived in that tempture. His name is Titan and he is Val's therapy dog who she takes to work to help depressed people, he must have known his mom needed him. Her other Bully Tank is doing well, both of them are, Tank will not leave her side.
Val is known as person who gives her all in everything and truly cares about the bulldogs in our care, she even asked to please keep donating to rescue because we are still getting many dogs in and we need the funds to care for them. She has also decided to take on one foster bully who despertaly needed a foster home to care for her severe demodex, she's not as bad as Grace but pretty close. She asks that everyone continue to pray for her, mornings are hardest because that is when she woke up to her beautiful girls snoring away at her side. she also sends many thanks to all those prayers and donations, she is overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you everyone for thinking of Val and her family.

If I may, I will pst a pic of all the bullies on another post for some reason it will not let me attach one here.
Oh I forgot to add that the fire started with a surge protecter that malfunctioned, please check your power strips and make sure they are American made, the fire fighter told her that there have many house fires because of these products that are being imported from China and they do not meet US standards. We have been recommending this company to get your power strips, they carry the best American made... www.apc.com
Yes, thank you for the update. It was so heartbreaking to hear of the tragedy, I just broke down in tears thinking of poor Val and her family and her wonderful bullies. It is so hard to understand why these things happen to such good people and animals. They are all in our thoughts.
