cinema_babe | Our Animals are Jersey Strong Too

First, I wanted to that to everyone who commented and wrote me offline inquiring into my physical and emotional well being. That was so unbelievably kind of you

I was one of the lucky ones. I had a minor inconvenience (and a few hundred dollars of ruined food). So many people, including some that I know personally, have had their lives and memories destroyed by this storm. A former co-worker of mine came back to her street with an escort from the National Guard to find that her house and slid down a hill.

Below are a few pics to give those of you not from here what has been going on while I was whinging about being cold.

I know that in another week or two most people will relegate Hurricane Sandy to their mental "Top Hits of 2012" but of course for the people living it, it's going to take much longer.

If any of you are interested in helping, though, please contact your local ASPCA.

While supplies and such are coming in for humans, there are thousands of beloved pets who were evacuated and rescued as well. There were a few shelters that would allow evacuees to bring their pets and there were some kennels, ASPCAs and other sites that are caring for the animals.

These animals need food and other supplies until the can be reunited with their owners.
