As much as communications and time will allow i will try to keep this updated with our animal rescue trip to louisiana. We havent even gotten down there and most of us havent slept in 24 hours. People from all over are calling to help them, shelters need us....we have alot of work to do.
-snip-
None of these pictures have been edited at all....nothing. We took them on the run while driving or working and to get them down i left them as was. I hope yall still feel the effect of them. I dont think i have ever cried so much, but there were some good moments too. The LSU shelter where we brought the pets was a good part of the trip. what they are doing there is absolutely amazing.

LOL!
The server is overloaded. Why I am not surprised?
We really need to get a good (temporary) Freeper server to deal with occasions like this. I wonder how much it would cost to buy and set up?
For registered Freepers only, of course.

I love this! A local radio personality from my areas daughter is in on this. She called in the other day during his show talking about what was happening. She mentioned the rabbit! She is bringing as many of the animals home with her as she can, and people are in line to adopt them!

This is a wonderful photo album and a truly great lady and the dogs and cats, too -- I wish them all the best and especially the recoveries ahead for the ill dogs.
Truly a great story, not to mention acts involved.

Thank you so much for posting these wonderful pics, and for the link.
The pics are absolutely priceless!
It's Puddy, nopardons!
That looks exactly like him!
Kinda behaves like him, too. ;o)

Thanks for the ping!
What a heartwarming thread/story and Puddy was adorable, if he looked just like this kitty. :-)
To: Zacs Mom; LUV W
Now you've gone and done it!
If it weren't for the big ol' lovable beast that owns me, I'd adopt that cat and 2 of those dogs!

Thank you for posting this.
When we were given dominion over the beasts of the field, a great responsibility was laid upon us.
Bless those who care for the ones who cannot speak of their needs or pain.
