Thomas and I met in Quesnel on Thursday so he could take my dog Nitika home with him. It was so awesome to see Takoda and him!! It was so sad to see Nitika go and I miss her so much, but it was right for her to go. She is having so much fun at Thomas’ place running with Takoda, playing stick and having more room to roam in his house. I am missing all of them so much. Lots of tears on my way back here. I can’t wait to go home!! Come on rain :)!!
It has been really smoky here in Prince George area the last couple of days. Ash was falling while I was in town today. I have been hearing that lots of ash has been falling in Williams Lake area overnight and today. Continue Reading →

My animal family and I are still displaced (four weeks today :(!!)as my area continues to be on evacuation alert and volatile due to fires in the area and very dry weather.
The good news is that more evacuation orders around Williams Lake have been changed to evacuation alerts. I take this to be a good sign. According to BC Wildfires website, White Lake fire is 40% contained and Wildwood fire is 20% contained. From what I understand the crews have been building fire guards in hopes to contain these fires and let them burn themselves out. Apparently there is still lots of fuel within the guards so they continue to burn. The Hanceville/Riske Creek fire is not contained at all.
I have heard that the smoke is really bad at times in the area. This is another good reason not to go back home yet.
My horses and cats continue to do well here. Nitika is another story as she tore through the screen on our borrowed tent trailer while I was in having breakfast on Sunday morning. Continue Reading →
