I feel the same way you do. We were having a discussion at work today, and we are preparing for if we have a hurricane, etc. Our manager said that we have to have a place to house pets when people come to work because some people will not leave their animals at home to go to work (nurses, etc.). I said I would not blame them because I would not leave my Conner at home alone during a hurricane. I said that it was a lesson learned during the hurricane in New Orleans. Some people would not evacuate because they could not take their animals. Now there are arrangements for people with animals. Another woman pipes up and says he is not a person and you are crazy if you do not leave him. I could not believe this. Of course, this is a person who does not have a dog and, I believe, never has had one. I said that Conner is part of the family and I would never leave a family member behind!!!
