Leaving Pets In A Hurricane

[Bonnie]

Could you leave your pets at home while you went to a shelter? I have heard that some leave them tied up in the yard or at home.

I can't fathom that, to me my pets are family.

I'd stay with my pets before I ever left them.

that's what pet carriers are for. my bird even has his own carrier. as far as the fish, though...i am not attached enough to try and keep them alive. they are actually my son's fish, but he's only 13months, and would not know the difference if i had to replace them.

My GF has two dogs. One is a good pup for the most part the other is a royal pain in the butt. I keep threatening to make terriyaki out of the little beast.

The truth is, if you are going to own a pet, you have certain responsibilities to the little critter.

It's pretty hard to cuddle with fish, though I have heard stories....

Not to mention an attachment I would think. My pets would come with come hell or high water. I guess I just look at pets differently than some.

We're sitting here waiting for Ivan. If we do have to leave, the critters go with us - period.

Good luck getting through the night Merlin!

Thanks.

We've done all we can to prepare. Now it's just wait and see.

Actually the most dangerous part of the whole experience is the fact that my mother in law is spending the night with us.

Gives me the shivers.

Good luck,merlin!!!it's lookin bad out there and they say the highways are jammed.

As far as pets go,no quetion about it,my dog and cats would be with us in the car.it would be crowded,but it's worth it. i couldn't consider leaving them behind.

Thanks everyone.

I'm sure we'll be fine. House is on high ground so flooding is not an issue although we are surrounded by streams so we may be stuck if the water goes over the bridges.

Was too damn cheap to buy a generator. Regretting it now. Going to get hot and sticky if the power goes out. Maybe I can convince the wife to sit on a ladder and spin the ceiling fans so I can stay cool.

Better post this quick before she comes in and sees it.
