What about your pets?

First I would like to extend my most heartfelt condolences to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. This disaster is unbelievable. The devastation is so massive, effecting so many people, that it is hard for me to wrap my mind around it. I can’t imagine what it must be like for those unfortunate people. We lost our electricity for one hour this morning and it was difficult never mind what the hurricane survivors have had to cope with.


It was hard enough for the people involved in the hurricane to get themselves to safety. I expect it was difficult for many people to provide protection for their pets. When faced with such a horrific situation pets are sometimes a casualty, which I am sure is an added upset during a difficult time . I came across this article at the Hillsborough County Government website in Florida. I thought it had some useful suggestions and information about your pets safety in an evacuation situation. You can find this article at Hillsborough.org

I hope this article is helpful. It gave me some food for thought myself.
