This is someone I know through our kids playing sport together such a devastating time A LOCAL woman has been left with nothing but the clothes she was wearing after a house fire in Havannah Street on Friday night Tracey Humphries escaped the weatherboard house before the blaze fully took hold, but she was unable to rescue her six beloved dogs. The fire is believed to have started at around 8.30pm. Forensic experts have examined the scene, but the cause of the fire is still undetermined. Belinda Johan, a family friend, said Ms Humphries, who was alone in the house, was in her bedroom when she heard a loud bang. She went to investigate, and found herself facing a wall of flame. She fled the house, calling for her dogs Jelly, Daisy, Coco, Dexter, Gypsy and Babi to come. Ms Humphries tried to go back in for her pets, but the fire was too intense. A neighbour came to her aid, but there was nothing they could do. Ms Humphries has three grown children and a number of grandchildren. Ms Johan said with the three-bedroom weatherboard house a twisted and blackened wreck, her friend is left with nothing but the clothes she was wearing when the fire broke out. Once the site had cooled and the forensic teams were finished with their investigation, she was able to poke through the ashes and find a couple of photo albums. She is staying with family right now, but an appeal has been set up with the Greater Building Society to help the family get back on their feet. “Christmas is a terrible time for something like this to happen,” Ms Johan said. Donations can be made to Greater Building Society, account number – 720082454, BSB – 637-000. The account name is under the family name, Gallegos. Ms Johan said if anyone wants to help and has household items that might make life a bit easier for Ms Humphries, they can contact her on 0414 207 221. Fire Inspector Tom Freedom said a gas main at the house ruptured, feeding the fire to such an extent that firefighters were forced back until it could be isolated by the gas authority. They turned to defending neighbouring properties which had been evacuated. Ms Humphries’ car, which was in a carport separate from the house, was also destroyed due to the fire’s intensity. Inspector Freedom said two trucks were dispatched from Bathurst, along with a spare tanker. Bathurst Hazmat also attended, along with a pumper from the Kelso brigade. RFS Rescue were also on the scene, along with Bathurst police and paramedics. Inspector Freedom said once the gas main had been isolated, firefighters were able to complete their attack on the fire. “I am very pleased with the way they fought this fire,” he said. “Incredibly, there were no injuries and no human fatalities, although it is sad that those poor dogs were lost. “I think the resident was very, very lucky to have made it out when she did.” Ms Humphries had lived in the house for close to 20 years. She wished to thank the fire officers and police who responded and fought so hard for her home. For Jelly, Daisy, Coco, Dexter, Gypsy and Babi

Whilst it may seem cheaper to buy the crap cheap food it works out much better to buy the dearer food...as you feed a lot less of it than the cheaper stuff, for example we only have a medium sized dog but the 15kg bag of Royal canin at around $100-$120 last for about 14 weeks. With a large breed dog it is very important to feed a good quality food especially when they are growing so fast when pups. I'm sure the breeder knows what their dogs do best on and I would be taking their advice.

How time flies! Happy Birthday Miah.

They are so cute! I have always been partial to long floppy ears,hmmm maybe our next dog will be a BH, off to do some research :)

Lovely pics especially the little chimps foot :)

Yay

I hope you find him soon, poor boy

He sounds like a lovely chilled out little guy, I would be very happy with him not chewing things :) Once he settles in more (and loses a bit of weight if needed) he might get more energetic. Once you see the vet they should give you a better idea of if he needs to lose weight or if indeed he is older than you have been told and out of the 'puppy' stage.

It's great that he doesn't pee in the apartment , I would also take him out more often if you are concerned, just for a short pee/poop break. If you didn't get him from a registered pedigree breeder then I would say he is a cross of some sort as the breed standard for a Japanese Spitz says the weight range is 6-8kgs and height 14.5 inches (around 32 cm).

Congrats!!

Regardless of breed I wouldn't enter any yard. Years ago we had someone deliver some wood when we weren't home, I did tell them I had to be out for a short period (15mins or so). We had a small kelpie mix at the time, he allowed them to enter was friendly but got a bit cranky when they came closer to the house, didn't bite anyone but they told me later, so no even if they looked friendly to start with I would not enter.

Don't feel bad about reporting it, it is what is needed to be done to stop it happening again. I hope you have been to the doctor as any dog bite that breaks the skin can turn 'nasty' hope you're ok.

Ouch, Poor Scout I hope he recovers ok, and also hope the police dog is ok. Maybe look at replacing the glass with some timber in case it happens again

My heart goes out to the family.

A great program. I have actually seen some dogs out in 'training' with inmates from our Gaol here in Bathurst

That's great news! I also hope you don't have anymore problems, some people are unbelievable!

They look great, I love Brock and Ned's blue eyes! Glad to hear little Bazza is doing well now.

So darn cute.......but I would be so worried about stepping on her :)

Glad to hear he is home and on the mend.
