♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | Would you risk it? Got the evening news tonight and there was a story about a house just up the road that had a fire and all skin people got out but 2 yorkies were carried out by firemen and only one made it after being given CPR. The firemen said the family were right not to go in and rescue their dogs. Would you risk it? I would have to she is just as precious as if my sons were in there.

| I dont know. It would be easy to say yes, but my 2 children need a mother and it would be a hard decision. I think that is one of those things that you would have to be in that situation to really know what you would do. I just hope never to be in that situation!!

| In my case, my yorkies are my children. So, I really think I would go back in after them. I pray I never have to find out what I'd do. This used to be one of my biggest fears. I kept wondering how they would get out to safety if the house ever caught on fire while I wasn't home. Buying my pet door has given me a lot of peace - I don't worry nearly as much as I used to.

| That IS a good reason to have a pet door. I never thought to have one for that reason.

| I had a friend who always kenneled her maltese while she was gone and they had a fire and the poor dog was trapped in. These are my husband and I's children- honestly I dont think I would have left the house without them until I absolutely had too. How awful.

| if there is a fire. i would not leave my house until i find my dog so i can leave the house with her. i am confused as to why the dogs not with them if there is a fire? i imagine if there is a fire. the dogs would run to the owners and alert them, is that not true?

I saw the smoke outside last night at about 6.30 pm so it wasn't bed time . I guess they were laying upstairs when it happened.

Ellie sometimes decides to lay in the next room and it would take five seconds to get her. Usually she is no more than 10 feet away from us.

this thread inspired me to do some emergency planning. i am going talk to my fiance tonight and plan out what we will do in case of fire, or any kind of emergency. we have a yorkie and 3 bunnies. we need to figure out who's going to get which furbabies in case we need to exit the house very quickly.

| One night the fire alarm went off in my house.... and most of my dogs ran and hid becaue they were afraid of the noise.... my oldest Yorkie came right to me as he always had.... if the fire alarm went off or another loud noise not till then did I realize the how serious this would have been had it been a real fire because they all ran upstairs and hid under the beds.....like these poor dogs did...and did not want to come out since then I have set the fire alarm off randomly and have rewarded them when they come to me..... so they are hopefully better trained to run to me when the alarm goes off not go and hide....

If this thread inspires just one person to think about the safety of their family and pets incase of a house fire then that little yorkie didn't die for nothing.Im going to make an escape plan too.
