| Lexi is due - Hurricane Gustav hit us - no electricity Hi all, I live in Bourg, LA 12 miles from the coast & 2 miles from Houma, LA. Yes the eye of the Hurricane hit us. We evacuated to a Caddo Lake Cabin in Uncertain, Texas. (west of Shreveport, LA) with 5 Yorkies & Lexi is pregnant and is due on the 14th in one week. Hurricane Ike is heading straight for us now!!! The Vet's offices are NOT OPEN here!!! I need to know that you gals & guys can HELP me if needed I have my Whelping Supplies ready BUT No Whelping Pudding I found a recipe from Mardelin - i have the ingredients but eggs. Should that be OK??? 1 can of goats milk equal parts of filtered water 1 egg 1 Tablespoon light corn syrup We got home yesterday to No Electricity, No Running Water, No Sewage & No Phone service & Barely Cell Phone service!!! We now have everything back but Electricity - Rumors are 3 weeks or more!!! We are trying our best to not crack under pressure. This has to be the most stressful time of my life worring about Lexi in her last 2 weeks of pregnancy. Stormy & Kylee have been fighting like cats & dogs since we left a week ago. The 3 youngest get car sick - my Vet recommended no food or water 10 hrs before leaving & give them Benidryl. only one vomited on the way to Texas. We had to bring Lexi to Marshall Animal Hospital Friday for her X-rays - 5 puppies - he said she should not have a problem with the pups sizes. Our Home weather the Hurricane very well. We lost shingles, facia board, vinyl boxing, parts of our wooden fence, 2 trees, parts of the swimming pool deck. The house was suppossed to be going on the Real Estate market last week - so we can start building our new house. OH Well - more delays!!!

My husband kinda fixed the fence today with some chicken wire in the broken areas. The furbabies finally got to run & play in the yard - they had a blast!!! Pour babies had to be on leashes the whole 7 days we were gone at the lake. And pour Lexi has been doing very well for the evacuation week. I made up Lexi's whelping box today & she is laying in it right now. I forgot to mention Lexi is due on her 3rd birthday (Sept 14th)!!! Hi Jodi - Thanks so much for the Well Wishes!!! Kim

Lexi is doing fine!!! My Vet has another office in Raceland in Lafource Parish & they have electricity. I will be calling there tomorrow to see if they will be open - just to have a plan if an emergency arrives with delivery.

| God bless you Kim, I can't imagine what you are going through. I was worried about Ike hitting us, looks right now that it will miss us. Just don't know how you guys can take another one. Lots of prayers for all of you.

| What a beautiful family of furbies that you have. Thanks for sharing your pictures. If you have to evacuate, where will you go? Worried about you.

My dads family lives there. I hope we can get the same cabin at Caddo Lake! It's just so far away - it normally takes us 6 hrs to get there. BUT it took 9 1/2 hrs to get there for evacuatation.

| If it follows the same path as now, I would leave in the morning. Hope you get the same cabin, stay safe. Have you been on our other website, 4WomenTalk.com? There are a lot of nice people that are going through this too.
