While wildfires rage around the province the mother-of-five thought British Columbians could use a good laugh. Cindy Roddick lives in Likely, BC about 100 kilometers northeast of Williams Lake. While preparing for possible evacuation, Roddick asked her 15-year-old son to spray-paint her phone number on the family's two horses in case they had to release them. There had obviously been some sort of miscommunication as Rosy, the 19-year old mare ended up bright pink, covered with a layer of non-toxic spray paint.

Luckily the family did not have to evacuate from their property thanks to the hard work of crews. And the photo of a pink and brown pinto circulating its way through social media hopefully brought a smile to the face of those affected by the wildfires.
