Still recovering from electrical smoke inhalation and honestly, still in shock over my vehicle starting on fire while driving it home on Sunday after two wonderful adoptions. The Jeep is totalled but I am thankful the dogs and I are safe. I wish I knew who the two men were who saved it from becoming an explosion, so I could thank them. They were the only people to stop and help out of the hundreds of cars passing by as I was alone and frantically removing animals in cages out of the car as it burned and we were engulfed in smoke.
Emotions are hitting me today. I still smell and taste chemicals, I'm still nauseous, have a raging headache, I am thankful but very shaken. I am so very grateful for the friends who are helping me through all this. I'll never be able to show all the gratitude and appreciation I have. I am so emotionally overwhelmed.
Taking care of everything that comes with the aftermath is stressing me and the dogs are picking up on it. Obtaining a new and reliable vehicle is underway. Sending the POS Jeep to the crusher feels cathardic. It belonged there before it ever came to me. I'm finally putting it out if it's (and my) misery.
I can cross off my "fun things to do bucket list" to drive a burning vehicle, with an attached trailer, down the interstate at 70 mph.
If anyone would like to donate towards the costs of obtaining a new vehicle plus to the dogs needing spays/nueters and vet care, I would be beyond grateful. Oro, the pictured rescue puppy, says please.
