Recovery Process

I wanted to give you an update on Teddi & Chris and let all of you know how she is doing. The truth is that she will carry that pain in her heart every day, and the hole in her heart will never be filled she misses her pups so much.

Regardless of how much you cry and beg it not to, life goes on. And no matter how much you try to ignore it you are faced again with another day. Teddi has been very strong and I am so proud of her. I can only imagine reliving the images of the fire over and over again in her head wondering if there was something that she could of done to prevent it.

Teddi & Chris returned back to work and are currently trying to establish a new routine. Teddi is driving over an hour to get to work everyday. It is not easy, but it is getting a little better with each day.

The account set up to help Teddi & Chris will be open a few more weeks and we would love for everyone to make a donation before we close it out as Teddi & Chris could really use the help. Any spare change you have lying around in the bottom of your purse or in your car can be easily turned into a $1.00 to help them buy much needed essentials. It's not much but it would mean the world to them as they are with nothing. Every bit counts.

You can keep up with how they are doing on Teddi's personal blog http://teddirobertson.typepad.com

or the blog that was set up for Teddi & Chris after the fire http://forteddiandchris.blogspot.com

RIP Buck

Terrible Tragedy

Hello everyone it is with great sadness that I am witting this post. My good friend Teddi, who I've known for years, just lost everything, including her 2 beloved dogs, (whom she loved more than life), in an early morning fire a few days ago that completely destroyed her home.

Teddi is completely devastated as not only did she lose her precious animals in a horrible fire she has been left with nothing but the clothes on her back. She was renting a property that had an electrical shortage and her house burned down in minutes.

The owner of the property is not taking any blame in this matter and is ignoring all of her calls as to not deal with her. The red cross put her up for 2 nights at a hotel but that is all they have done for her.

My friend Hilary set up a fund for her. The account # is 8853786017 you can walk in to any WAMU (Washington Mutal) branch and tell them you are there to make a donation to the Teddi Robertson fund you don't even need the account # if you don't have it. I know that it is a lot to ask especially during these hard financial times but anything you can donate to her would be greatly appreciated.

I know exactly how she is feeling as I too lost everything during hurricane Andrew. I was very lucky to have help from family & friends during that emotional time. We don't realize how much we have & how grateful we should be for the little things we have until they are gone. We so often take for granted a hair tie, tooth brush, shampoo, socks, etc Teddi is in need of any and as much help as possible right now as her world has just come crumbling down. She has no one & no where to turn to.


Another friend of ours Kathy set up a blog that she will be updating with pictures and events as she gets them please check it out. You can see the news story & video of her home on this blog. Http://forteddiandchris.blogspot.com if you can find it in your hearts to help out in any way I know she would be forever grateful.

Jungle Island

I haven't been posting much since Jan shame on me!!!! Facebook has taken over my blog...LOL I have to get back in the swing of things. It has been hard juggling all the kids with cheerleading, tae kwon do, baseball, basketball & everyday household demands not to mention missing Bianca everyday. When she was here for spring break I took her to Jungle Island. I signed us up for this VIP tour that let you get up close & personal with lots of different wild animals. Well I should of know that the others would tag along...LOL I am posting some of the wonderful pics for you to see. We had a great time. The tour was only suppose to last 90 minutes and it ended up lasting 5 hours. Ryan our tour guide just took to us and kept the tour going. He was very impressed by the knowledge Bunky had on all the animals. Bianca said it was one of the best experiences she has ever had. Now that is funny because all of the animal encounters she has had is more than some people see in a life time but yet each one tops the one before...LOL check out her blog to see what shes been up to and to see all her wild animal encounters. www.biancafeliu.blogspot.com Bianca is going to make a GREAT vet someday!!!!!!!!
