If any of you live in a hurricane prone area, and rode one out, how did your yorkie react? I live in a coastal area in SE Louisiana. Just north of Houma (Terrebonne Parish) if any of you know where that is. Otherwise, 60 miles southwest of New Orleans. My Lacey had died before this hurricane season had gotten in full swing. But, she did ride out a very memorable hurricane with me. ANDREW. Lacey was just 7 months old in August of 1992. And I had just turned 16 and was a junior in high school. I remember her clinging to my mom all night. And my mom sat in the bathroom all night with her trying to calm her down. I don't remember her barking or anything. But, I remember her shaking with freight. The winds were sustained at around 100 mph with much higher gusts. The eyewall only went 25 miles to our west, putting my town in the worst part of the storm. We were 8 days without power. So, we did not want to leave Lacey in the heat. So, we rode to Sears looking for a generator. The truck took a wrong turn coming from Houston and got lost. So, we ended up sleeping at Sears with Lacey! Yes, they let her sleep with us because of the disaster. They had 3 other Yorkies also spending the night at Sears. She clung to us and did not want nothing to with the other yorkies. Back then as a puppy, she was scared of other dogs. But, as she got older, she got brave and her boyfriend turned out to be a bloodhound named Buster. Anyway, to get back on topic, how do your yorkies act during bad weather? |
