Kennel Follow Up

[ellyssian]

Follow up to the kennel explosion here.

For those who don't want to read the details, there is this bit of relatively good news:

Meanwhile, the condition of Timothy Kleinhagen of Summit Hill, the truck delivery driver who was badly burned in the explosion, was upgraded to stable today, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Co-owner Karen Tracy tearfully described Kleinhagen as a "hero."

Kleinhagen managed to first toss a cairn terrier named Chilli over the fence to safety before getting himself out of harm's way.

"That man is a hero," Tracy said. "My heart goes out to his family."

And I mentioned in a comment yesterday that Martha Stewart had bought two dogs from this kennel; unfortunately I was only half-right, and the second transaction hadn't been completed:

Among those that died was a chow chow puppy named Ghengis Khan that was promised to Martha Stewart. Tracy said that Stewart, during a phone conversation Saturday morning, offered her sympathy and seemed more worried about how she and her mother were doing.

Nice to see that Martha Stewart keeps it classy.
