I'm assuming then we don't yet have a clear understanding of exactly which dogs made it and those that sadly didn't? It's just so awful...

You got it. But I don't believe for a second anyone can be on location, and be fine. But thank you.

And a heartfelt one at that

I'm actually terrified to ask... but is there a more definite number of those dogs that perished, and those that *miraculously* survived (plus the naughty runaway)? It doesn't make any difference in the slightest... just want to make sure all the lovelies were accounted for (that was known).

Maybe friends or family who know her and her dogs better can arrange those things for her with the money raised? They would have a better idea of the needs of those dogs that survived. Oh goodness, saying it like that just brings a lump in my throat.

Gee, I wish I could be there. I know all these places being mentioned oh hon - don't stress :rolleyes: see I can't afford to make a donation this week, so this is all I can contribute for now so that's why I need to do this I wish you all the best tonight - let's hope you can come back with some hopeful news PS. It is a wonderful, hands on, helpful contribution.

I agree.

I don't think anyone needs to apologise for wanting to DO things that they think might help. It is feeling so goddamned helpless and knowing that we aren't going to wake up and find it a dreadful nightmare and nothing will ever wipe away the dreadful loss that Jed, her family and friends are going to wake up to each morning. Totally agree, it's lovely that people want to help, and do something nice. But I agree that Jed, or her closest family should make the ultimate decision about the memorial. Goodness knows it will be hard to set back foot in the place that would hold so many traumatic memories. Hopefully she can, one day, but if not perhaps she may not want her fur family laid to rest there. I just got off the phone to my Mum, who had seen this nightmare on the news. She cried as she was telling me about what she saw... just goes to show, you don't even need to know someone in ANY way to share their grief, loss and sadness.

I keep hoping for a miraculous sighting (at the very least) of Magnus... Is anyone aware of whether he had any injuries etc?

O...M...G... it's just so horrific that I don't even want to THINK about it. I can't imagine, and just don't want to - it's simply just too painful. There are no words. Thankfully the dogs did not go through being burnt - I think that would have been alot more frightening for them to be confronted by flames. I pray they just slipped to sleep.

Where all Boxers love to be, close to their mum Everyone is doing such a fantastic job, wish was closer so I could help Healing vibes to Jed, your babies need you. Three boxer babies also went to God - only three left. Oh dear... RIP babies. I pray for only good news from here on...

I pray that this was a premonition for what we all keep hoping to open up the thread and see... How heartbreaking, to think of the poor things huddled under the bed. What a fantastic job you are all doing, through what I can only imagine is extremely trying, emotionally painful circumstances. You are all wonderfully heroic.

Yes I hope that food is being left at his home... hunger, and seeking comfort of his home/humans may *hopefully* tempt him back long enough for someone to find him. Slim chance, but better than nothing. He may be scared off by the smell/memories of the trauma. All the very best wishes for those going out on the hunt for Magnus today - will be hoping for some relieving news.

Anything is worth a shot isn't it?

Some positive news I'm also glad the oldies made it through, and little ChiChi So, just waiting on Magnus now... I have emailed his pic through to everyone I know in QLD, and asked them to send it on to anyone in Caboolture or the surrounding areas - and also asked them to pass the pic onto their friends, neighbours and family. The more eyes looking, the more chance of success. I do hope he is found soon. Can't imagine how traumatised they must all feel.

I logged on first thing - hoping desperately that Magnus might have been found safe and sound. Please come home soon Magnus, it will make a massive difference. I'm so pleased to hear details of the survivors though, they all sound very special - and I'm sure they will all assist in the task of healing Jed emotionally. I'm also heartened to hear that Jed, whilst not out of the woods, is holding her own. True fighting spirit. Our prays for a speedy recovery will continue. And lastly, a big thank you to all who have assisted through this nightmare. I feel privileged to be part of such a wonderful, caring group of people that would go out of their way to help one of our own, and others. It's truly heart warming. You are real heroes - each and every one of you, and I'm sure that Jed will be helped through the aftermath of this by knowing that she has so many wonderful people supporting her. So, come on Magnus, come home sweetheart... your Mum needs you, we all need you to come home and bring something positive back

Thankfully Chloe's reaction has settled - and she is pretty much bounced back better than I thought. She was on the antihistamines for about 5 - 6 days, after that it just seemed to dissipate. Still unknown what it was that was causing it, but she was on antibiotics and eye cream at the time - and these brands have now been recorded on her veterinary records as 'do not give' just in case it was those that triggered it. I don't think it was, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, and avoid any further reactions. She's looking fantastic actually - still has a little chunk missing from her eyelid where she kept rubbing her face on rough surfaces (I had to take up all the feet wiping mats etc as the course texture was doing damage). Otherwise, she's doing great right now and I'm really pleased. Thanks for all the advice and info guys, and I'm glad that others have found useful info on here too

Good thought. It might help keep him in the one place until he is *fingers crossed* found soon.

Certainly was a selfless and heroic deed.

Oh I do hope we can hear some positive news soon then.

I do hope that the fact she is able to take calls at all is a positive sign. And continue to pray for a speedy recovery.

A newspot on a prominent channel of Magnus' description and last seen whereabouts would be great. Most Aussie's, not just DOLer's like to pull together in a tragedy, I'm sure people of all kinds would keep an eye out and like to see and underdog prevail.

It would be great if the missing dog could get some media coverage... that way more chance of him being found and returned asap. Some good news of a safe and sound survivor would be a Godsend right now.

Very, very brave. What dedication... especially seeing how horrific the pics were.
