FLOOD AT EAGLE'S NEST

IF WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH HUGE FOOD AND VET ACCOUNTS, YESTERDAY THE EAGLE'S NEXT WAS FLOODED WHEN IT RAINED SO HARD THE RIVERS ROSE AND MORE THAN 500 RESIDENTS HAD TO BE RELOCATED TO SAFER GROUNDS...LUCKY FOR US, THE EAGLE'S NEST PROPERTY HAS SOME HIGH LEVELS AND WE ARE SLOWLY GETTING ALL THE ANIMALS TO SAFER AREAS WHERE THEY WILL BE SAFE AND DRY.

THIS IS ONE OF THE COMPOUNDS THAT WAS FLOODED

ANOTHER DOG COMPOUND FLOODED

HARRY ON THE LEFT WAS MOVED WITH HIS THREE BROTHERS, PLATO, WILLIAM AND HENRY, TO A DRY COMPOUND, THESE FOUR BOYS ARE ONE YEAR OLD AND WE ARE HOPING TO FIND THEM GOOD HOMES...THEY ARE NOW AT AN AGE WHEN THEY CAN BE SEPARATED... IN THE PHOTO ON THE LEFT,  THE WATER IS STILL FLOWING; YOU HAVE TO LOOK REAL CLOSE TO SEE THE WATER RUNNING THROUGH HARRY'S LEGS.

ON THE LEFT MORE FLOODING AND MARK IS COLLECTING CAGES THAT ARE USED TO TRAP FERAL CATS THAT ARE SPAYED OR NEUTERED AND THEN RETURNED TO THEIR SAFE AREA.

THE ABOVE PHOTOS SHOW JUST HOW DEVASTATING THE FLOOD HAS BEEN...IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS FOR THE FLOOD WATERS TO DRY UP, SO IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO GET  SOME FIREMEN IN TO SUCK OUT AS MUCH OF THE WATER AS POSSIBLE...IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE DOGS AND HORSES HAVE DRY FEET, AS WET FEET CAN CAUSE ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS.

ON A HAPPIER NOTE, LORENZO IS HOME AND DOING BETTER THAN EXPECTED...HE HAS A LUNG PROBLEM AND HE IS ANEMIC, SO HE MAY HAVE TO HAVE SOME BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS...

LORENZO IN THE HOSPITAL...HE WAS LOSING BLOOD THROUGH HIS NOSE, SO HE HAD TO GO WITHOUT BEDDING SO THAT THE VET COULD EASIER SEE THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD LOST....THE POOR OLD BOY LOOKS SO SAD, BUT HE HAD LOTS OF VISITORS WHO WENT TO SEE HIM IN SHIFTS....WE ARE VERY GLAD THAT HE IS NOW HOME AND IN A SPECIAL AREA AWAY FROM ALL THE NOISE SO THAT HE CAN GET BETTER IN A PEACEFUL SETTING...HE GETS LOTS OF LOVE EACH DAY.
