Ahhhh.. Yes, it's a disaster of unprecedented scale, and even though I keep my phone handy awaiting the call from Houston SPCA or ASPCA where I'm listed as available to transport and shelter.. I'm tired of CNN and aerial videos of flooded streets and stories of residents who seemingly don't understand they are condemning their families to disease and death by refusing to evacuate. And I was annoyed at having to wait in line at a gas station in Shreveport so that I could get fuel to get back home after visiting my daughter-in-law & new grandson at a Shreveport hospital. We're human, and maybe just a little less noble than we'd like to think ourselves. Life goes on. Debi Christy Ferrets First Foster Home [Posted in FML issue 4994]
