Yes in fact Kallie and her puppies died in a fire, as well as Alena's beautiful chocolate poodle "Coco".
We would like people to know about his horrible accident and what really happened. Jamie has posted some of his usual misleading lies over the fire and we would like people to know the truth.
During the fall of 2009 the family attended a dinner at the extended families home about an hour away. As they didn't want to leave the 6 week old puppies and momma alone in the house for the full evening, they decided to converted a large 14 X 14 horse stall into a wonderful play area for that night. This would allow the puppies more room to play and the freedom for the mother and her puppies to have a potty area. The stall was in an almost brand new large modern two level barn, that was believed to be safe. The play area included 12 bales of hay for climbing and hiding in. A warm dog den, and several crates with big fluffy pillows, never mind the endless amount of dog toys. The bottom of the stall was 2 feet thick of bedding, it was clean, warm and very peaceful environment. They had a small radio on for comfort and a stall light. The puppies loved it, and played non stop!! Alena spend almost 2 hours the evening before the fire sitting on the hay and playing with the puppies, cuddling Kallie and holding Coco like a baby and rubbing her belly. When it was time to leave for the family dinner Alena left the stall light for her dogs to see. These were very spoiled dogs up until that evening Alena had taken Kallie her puppies and Coco on all her out of town travels. Kallies foster mother can vouch for this as well as many others. This was the first time they were left alone and not in the house.
When they returned that night it was late around 12 am. Alena's wanted to get the dogs but her hubby said they would be fine for the night. She checked the barn from her bed room balcony at 1:30 am before going to bed. She could see the light was still on over the stall and all looked fine through the side windows. She agreed to leave the dogs for that night, as it was late and they would of all been settled in and sleeping. She awoke sudden from a deep sleep to a sitting up gasp at 4 AM to hear Kallie cry for help. To see the bed room window and walls glowing orange and the sound of a large fire crackling. Pure panic and fear struck her as she ran to the window and couldn't believe what she saw. The side windows were glowing pure orange in the barn. She turned and yelled to her hubby to call 911 and ran to the aid of her dogs. She opened the exterior stall door and was face to face with flames and a wall of smoke. She knew at that moment mid stride if she continued forward she would not come out. Her entire body wanted to run in and save the dogs but that voice in her head said you will die if you enter, its to late they are gone. It took all her strength not to enter or believe what was happening. She yelled at the top of her lungs for Kallie over and over but no dogs responded. She knew at that moment it was to late and they were dead, but deep down she hoped they were still ok hiding some how. She ran for water and help but realized upon her returned they were gone and she couldn't save them. She will live that horrible moment for the rest of her life. Remembering the feeling of such deep loss and horrible pain, disbelief and questioning WHY, sadness and wonder how to tell Kallies owner she was gone.
To the kinds words of a friend that comforted her to realize that accidents happen, and that this was an accident. That she did everything she could and that she knew they were loved dogs.
A memorial and tree was planted at 2292 Swayne Rd Coombs BC in loving memory to the lost dogs. Alena and her family have since left the farm because of the trauma suffered there. Flowers can be placed at the site with the property owners permission.
If anyone wondered what happened this is it.
The fire was investigated as possible arson due to the treats and harassment by Mr. Sheppard towards Alena but is now believed to be caused by faulty wiring. Do to the barns metal roof the fire burned inward rather than through the roof. It was a very quick fire that took less than an hour to collapse the entire barn.
The puppies were found hiding under the dog den and were not burned. Kallie and Coco remains were found at the stall door beside the puppies. These dogs were not in a shed, they were family raised and very loved and spoiled pets had their lives taken early. Coco was with the puppies from the day their were born. Coco believe they were hers and she wouldn't leave them. She cared for Kallies puppies cleaned and even curled up with them and would not have it any other way. These dogs were amazing loving and wonderful with kids, they will be missed by all.
This is a horrible loss to Alena and everyone that had adopted the puppies. For Kallies and Coco's families and to everyone directly involved. Alena and her husband did suffer injuries and were monitored the morning of the fire by paramedics. They both suffered horrible night mares and post traumatic stress and to this day have a hard time talking about it.
Do to the nature of this horrible loss, people need to respect the families involved and allow them the time to try and heal. To remember the dogs that lost their lives in this horrible accident.
To the kind souls lost in this fire, may the Angels guide you to heaven and may your spirits fly free, kisses and hugs.
