I am praying for you and everyone in N.O. I can't believe you have to go through this again. Unfortunately these are very tense months for those of us that have to go through hurricanes every year it seems. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Keep us posted and stay safe

Praying for everyone in the path of this hurricane, please stay safe. My brother, his wife and son are in LA. I'm pretty stuck to the TV and praying right now, so if I'm not in much, please understand.

Prayers and hugs going your way. As an experienced evacuee, without pets, make sure you have and inportant documents..papers, like home deeds, home, auto and life insurance policies, pet records, credit card information. Special heirloom items...photos, computer backup information, anything that you can't replace. Leave early enough that you are ahead of the others. We waited too long to get on the road when we had to evacuate. It took 12 hours for us to drive 60 miles, then the traffic thinned out.

Get your babies favorite toys, blankets and beds. Enough to make them feel at home.

Please keep us posted. Be careful...stay safe.

Austin is one of the Texas cities that hosts evacuees from the coast, we do it every time there is an evacuation. There are a large number of hotels here that normally do not allow pets but are making exceptions due to the circumstances. As long as you take toys, leashes, pee pads, food, and thier beds, I am sure your babies will be fine. You may also want to take poop bags so you can clean up after them once you walk them.

Good luck....and if anyone is heading to Austin and bringing your furbaby, PM me and we can set up some play days for the furbabies.

lovelylf1 · 08-31-2008, 03:57 PM

I went to visit a friend who is staying at a local hotel tonight and when he was checking in, there were a large number of evacuees checking in as well. People are leaving early and I am glad they are coming to Austin to be safe, it is much better than risking all at the coast.

If anyone is heading this way, please PM me and I will do my best to help in any way possible.

I am in South Louisiana also... we are in Baton Rouge and are VERY on edge over this! i do not have to evacuate and actually have friends here from New Orleans but we already have tornado WARNINGS! My oldest daughter is across town from me and I am freaking, that is where the tornado is...
I pray, that they are right, tht this storm dies down before it gets to us... we had the most beautiful day today.. the evil calm before the storm...
Bless anyone in the path of this beast!

My puppies came 3am this morning after all the wrong anticipation signs and dates... it is kinda scary listening to the wind.. we decided to bunker down.
I don't remember Moma panting as much last time after whelping...
She is fed they arm wam, I cut the warming pad on in cycles on low heat...
she doesnt seem hot....
so I wonder why she is panting so much?

Please get something calcium rich into her right away! Panting is one of the signs of eclampsia and she needs calcium stat if this is what's happening. If it's not, then she'll just have had yummy treats

You might want to post this on the Breeder's section for more professional advice, I'm not a breeder, just a reader

Congrats on the puppies!

I pray that you are all safe and

don't have a lot damage.

msjagg · 09-01-2008, 10:25 AM

First off, you and everyone facing Gustov are in my thoughts and prayers!!!! Next, When I travel I always take a collapsable crate or you can use the Bathroom, Puppy piddle pads, bottled water,their food, their toys etc. I take the crate so if the maid comes in she doesn't accidently let the dogs out. I'm afraid they'll get out of the room and get hit by a car or stolen... Praying all will be well with your home when you return, Good-Luck... Blessings...

My parents are in Lafayette, just north of New Iberia. They are not in danger of flooding, the the wind can do a lot of damage. They have boarded up their windows, and have decided to stay put. So far so good.
