count me in with the sleeplessness. i even took two ambien. crying my eyes out only gave me a headache from hell. i can hear Mr. Fizz making noise in the cage... grrr. he never sleeps. i have gathered up some things to bring them, and luckily i buy 2-4 of the same things at a time, so i have lots of bathroom things for them.
i could probably help out Rose, i will be in and out all day <i decided... to talk a personal day off work.)

I love my mom, she doesn't really like ferrets but when something happens she snaps into action. She gathered up some clothes, she may have some household items for them, she has my aunt sending down blankets. and my other aunt may have some clothes.
Does anyone know eveyln's correct size? my one aunt wears a size 4 and may have clothing for her. i have some sweaters and sweatshirts but they are all size med or large. i also found some clothes in my bf's stash of clothing.

I had the most miserable nite, I couldn't get Father Nature's place out of my head.
I can not imangine the torment the two of them are feeling now with the devesation to thier home and loss of the ferrets.
I will pray for them to stay healthly during this trying time, to be strong for each other and to know there will be a new day with a new start for to very derserving people.

OK... It's Real. It is 7:30 am, and I'm working out a plan for the day.
First off, I want to thank EVERYONE who has helped, donated, sent words, ideas AND tears (oh, we have more than enough of those)!!! We have been overwhelmed with support, from TLH and elsewere, and are going to start figuring things out today. I am going to work to get some donations of new clothing (T's, L/S T's and Sweats) and other personal donations from my bosses. Then a stop at my sisters (for the same), and then I'm heading up to be with K & E.
I will be off-line for a while (most of the day), but will update ASAP.
Just in case... Their sizes are as follows:
Keith - Pants 36W / 32L... Shirts Lg/XL (closer to XL)... Shoes 10 1/2 Evelyn - Size 2 (pants Long)... Shoes 8 - 8 1/2
As for home furnishings... Great, but hold tight, for they are with Keith's parents for now, and until we figure out the plan, we have nowhere to store much right now.
So that's it for now... I will update later.
Thank You, Matt Kostyk

I know what you mean, I kept thinking about the injustice of it. I posted on another forum about how it makes you question your beliefs in what ever religious deity you believe in, when something like this can happen to not only the good people, but even more so the innocent animals. How can this it be right

I was always a firm believer in karma... but Keith and Evelyn and those poor ferrets did NOT deserve this. I probably have some furniture and stuff, which I can hold onto until Keith and Evelyn are ready for it, if they will need it. I'll have to dig around. My boyfriend doesn't have many clothes, but he's Keith size ( I think shoe size too), so I'll ask him if there is anything he can spare... How are we getting the stuff down there? Should I mail or is someone in PA heading down that way? If anyone's going down that way to help out, let me know. I'll tag along if no one minds...

It does make you question. Excuse my spelling, 4 hours sleep. I believe it's to bring out the best in others. It doesn't make sense. It will however, get the word out to more people about the incredible work thet FN does. I hope that they will resume their work when things get better. All night I kept thinking,What if it happened to me? Would I have the heart to go on?

..I had Lil' Dude's little face in my mind all night long. My head is cracking, when I was awake, I kept thinking of him and of the fire, when I got to sleep a while, his face kept coming back in the dreams. And this, without knowing them personally so I really don't know how them, their closest friends and family and all of you on TLH that knew them well before me, can cope with this grief.
It's absolutely nonsense how such a horrible thing could happen to such beautiful people and to innocent little creatures..
I have already stashed a bunch of clothes that do not fit us anymore and are litterally new. I was about to give them away at the local charity collector but I picked the best ones and will post them over for Keith and Evelyn.
I am not quite sure about's Evelyn correct sixe conversion, I suppose an S in tees (or M in tight tees) will suit?

I know it has already been said, but I am so sorry for your loss. I am donating what I can, but I know nothing I can give right now can heal the wound. Reading the updates on Little Dude was always one of my bright spots, and I am going to miss that. I am just at a loss for words.

yes, a small would fit, as would a medium. i just got off the phone with Keith, they are heading over to their house to see if they can salvage anything but they know the chances of that are slim. they also dont know if they will be allowed near the house as the its basically a shell.

Thank You. Rose

I was just wondering, but how did the three lucky fuzzbutts get out of the house? I mean no harm or offense whatsover Laura-but it is just far too disturbing for me to re-live that vision, and answer that right now. I am just grateful that they made it, and will re-unite as soon as time allows. Please don't think of me as being jerky...I just can't go there in my head. Rose

That's okay. No offense taken. I understand your grief. My sister-in-law had a similar situation over a year ago. It's very heartbreaking.

Mkay I read as much of this as I could. Meh. I hate it when bad things happen to good people. I've got a few things in the sewing machine in the works that I could whip up for Evelyn. I've got a few things coming off the knitting needles too. And my bf is roughly the same size as Keith. I'll see if he's got anything he can spare. I'll probably send out a box at the end of the week. I posted what's happened on my personal blog and barter blog for the locals to pass around too. We might chip in and send out a community box. <3 It'll all be alright. As horrible as the situation is, everything happens for a reason. I'm so sorry to hear of the loss... the loss of the 25, the loss of a home of memories, everything lost to flames. Situations like this prove to bring people closer together. So any chance you get.... Don't see it as a loss.... see it as a means of starting over! I know your some of your pain. We lost everything when I was a pre-teen. Back then I didn't understand life's quirks like I do now.... but looking back on it really really opens my heart out to you guys.

Well said. I like to believe that every cloud has a silver lining. I hope Keith and Evelyn's cloud is especially silvery.

[[[hugs]]] It'll be alright. Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a fuzzard tail in my eye. And we can give that cloud a platinum lining. With love and hope and faith and good thoughts.... working together, we all can give the cloud a platinum lining. <3
