When we went back to our place, it was a mess. Everything from the smell of dead animals to dead people. But we were luckier than a lot of people. There are still people living in tents, still people homeless. We had nowhere else to go.

It's wonderful if you have a passion for animals. But in a disaster, you have to keep your emotions in check. There are tons and tons of animal lovers who could help in the background.

We've met a lot of good people, and Robin, she's an angel. We've made it because God loves us. What he takes from you, he gives back. I think it has a lot to do with faith. Just believe in God, believe in good people, and God will send them to you.

We love the house, and we love the land. It's already fenced in. We could have a horse, a cow, a goat maybe. I'm a country girl.

We are only fully human when we act as if the life beyond us matters.

I'd like to be a lion... they are very family-oriented. Unfortunately. too many wild animals are afraid at what man can do to them.
