Thank you for keeping us all updated.

It is so hard to imagine everything that you are going through. We had a cabin in the way of a huge fire a few years ago, but were fortunate that even though the firefighters were actually on the hill behind the house and cutting fire lines, they managed to get it stopped before it hit any of the buildings. Fire is so terribly scary. Thank goodness your dogs were well away from it.

You two and the rest of the people of Willow are on our minds all the time.

Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!

UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

Thought you guys might like to know that the fantastic volunteers at #OperationDoghouse have been busy building new dog houses for the dogs!  They delivered the first 12 this weekend, and 12 more are being built as I type this!  Check it out here!

We are hoping to have some of the local school kids paint them wild and crazy colors to add some brightness to the dog yard this winter.  I am SOOO happy our dogs will have snug houses to sleep in!

So you know, these folks are doing this totally on a volunteer basis, just for the love of DOG.  Check out all the amazing work they have been doing for all the dogs in Willow, AK after the fire: https://www.fac.....?ref=br_tf

They are also doing some auctions as fundraisers if you are interested.

Probably the best way to donate things would be to get a hold of OperationDoghouse through their Facebook page.  I think the two who are sort of heading it up are Megan and Kristie (but we don't personally know them at all).

Hey Tripawders! Looking for that perfect present for a space rock geek?

TC just let us know about a very cool item being sold on eBay right now that will help the Odaroloc team get their paws back into Alaska this winter.

"A friend of ours has come up with a creative way to help us rebuild our  AK cabin.  (Although we had insurance, the policy did not cover any contents IN the cabin or the outbuildings - kennels, fences, wood shed, etc)."

Here it is:

858g COMPLETE etched slice of Campo Dr Cielo iron METEORITE

Image Enlarger

Offered here is a large, lightly etched, complete 858 gram slice of Campo del Cielo, low iron, group IAB Argentinian meteorite. This fall is believed to have occurred between 4000-5800 years ago. Fragments from this meteoritic event was brought back to Spain when one of the country's expeditions returned from the New World in 1576. Recovered amounts of this fall range in the 31,000 kgs.
The meteorite's composition is about 92% Fe, 6.7% Ni and 4% Co with added silicate-graphite troilite inclusions.

ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO HELP OUR FRIENDS WHO LOST THEIR HOME IN THE RECENT ALASKAN WILDFIRE. Visit Facebook.com/TCAlaskanRebuild/ for more details.

Please look at the enlarged photos for close-up views of the Campo del Cielo meteorite slice. Buy It Now requires immediate payment; Best Offer, if accepted, requires payment within 7 days. We will combine shipping of multiple purchases whenever possible. Foreign and Domestic Customers: Foreign buyers please wait for invoicing. We will provide USPS or FEDEX tracking or delivery confirmation numbers to our buyers. We will not ship to ITALY.
