Sorry to hear about your lose. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

[MrThumper]

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

I've told my kids the support we've received from this community and the offers of some additions when we get back in and it brought a tear to my eye to see them jumping around and already thinking of names.

It's a test of strength here in Brisbane and Ipswich at the moment, and we will pull through.

Thanks again,

Cris

Ben,
It's amazing people making offers like yours that pull people thru things like this.
A week ago I donated money to those poor people in the rockhampton area for the disaster they suffered not knowing what was headed our way.

I may just take you up on that offer and I think my girls would love to join this great forum and thank you all personally

Heya, if you haven't already been offered. Mum and I have some young cockatiels in our aviary. They're not long onto the seed (some are still begging the parents) You're welcome to a couple if you wish. They haven't been tamed though.

Houses,cars furniture can be replaced,however lives cant,so as long as you and the family are safe and unharmed,thats all that matters..This is WOMD -Water of mass Destruction...Unfortunately it will only get worse til it gets better..75% is affected,thats ALOT OF QLD....

very true my mom's friends friends died in the flood but the two children (15 and 17 I think) managed to escape

My sister lost her house and most of her stuff but the first thing she go out was her animals. I am horrified to hear of your loss. Sorry to say this but I can't understand how animals could be left behind, they should leave when the family does. In saying that in Toowoomba and Grantham and the Lockyer Valley with the speed at which water hit there wasn't any time to do anything, but in Brisbane we had days notice. I know I will be unpopular for this opinion but I have heard so many stories of people evacuating without their pets and it saddens me a great deal.

 

[85Hickey]

I agree darkhorse. There is nothing or no one to blame. Its the choices people make, and at the time there's no time to think. I know i would be just like you who would fight to get my animals out. Its sad to think how many animals couldnt be taken nor saved.
I am under the understanding though that evacuation centers weren't taking animals, and everyone was told they have to find family etc to look after them. I don't know how they can think that to be possible but i don't think many people were left with an option to take them
I just feel in this case, the animals are helpless without help. We as people had a lot of help thankfully, but would have been nice to know there was help for the creatures too.
Please keep in mind everyone has there opinions, my option would be to get mine out. I have very very little family left, which means my animals are my family. Its like leaving behind my brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. It would break my heart.
Condolences to all who suffered.
