Prayers and hugs to all those along the coast.

I am on the border of TX and Ok and we are supposed to get lots or rain and 45 mph winds.

Prayers for all in the path of Ike.

We are staying home during this hurricane. One reason is because we have 5-dogs and no one will board us. My parents are leaving to San Antonio in the morning.

Its kinda funny we stocked up on dog food and now they have more food than us.(ha).

I will write when its all over.

Love

I'm,praying for you all in South Texas. I know what you are going thru. We were hit by three hurricanes here in Stuart in 2004 & 2005. Only the one time did we evacuate and we left our 2 dogs at the time at the animal hospital with our vet and a staff member there with them. Our vet said he would not do that again. It was too hard on him and the animals. The other 2 storms we stayed in our house and did not evacuate. We lost two large trees next to the house and a 10-12' section of roof totally gone. Very scary. It is soo hard after the storm too - no power and the traffic lights out and all. I feel for you all. I have three neices that live in Texas. The only one I am concerned about with this storm is the one that lives in Austin. Even tho they may not take a direct hit they will still get much of the storm and perhaps some flooding. You are in my prayers - be safe.

I have been watching the news on this hurricane like a crazy woman.. My heart got out to each and every person having to leave their home.. BUT I cannot believe that people have time to take their pets and do not..

omg they do not deserve to even be loved by any animal what so ever.. sorry this sounds cruel.. but I could not even imagine..I never leave my guys.. or have not with all the ones I have now.. and then I went away once.. and missed them so much it took the enjoyment away with my wanting to be with them..

We are evacuating and taking 12 dogs!!

(seven puppies). There is no way I would leave them behind. I am probably taking more stuff for the dogs than for me! Ike is set to hit directly about twenty to thirty miles from our house, so even though it is not mandatory here yet (we are right on the cut off line for mandatory) we will be leaving tomorrow. Most of the gas stations are already out of gas and the grocery stores out of a lot of foods.

SET Yorkies · 09-10-2008, 06:05 PM

All of you fellow Texans be careful on your way.... We haven't quite decided when and if we are going.... I'm just off the coast in Beaumont and we are a bit worried as the track is beginning to inch toward Galveston... That would put us on the "dirty" side and generally a bad place to be.... We were hammered by Rita a few years ago, not so much fun! I'll spend tomorrow packing up the kennel and kids and we'll be off on Friday if needed....

Yea! we just unpacked from Gustav!! BTW, I think one poster mentioned folks not taking pets since they have access to evac on public trans... Remember, our 211 system is not for everyone here, you have to "qualify." A lot of folks are on their own without any assistance and have to find a pet friendly hotel or shelter.... that is not an easy task or can be a very very costly one. During Gustav hotels were charging 100.00 per night non refundable deposit for pets and most shelters were not taking pets..... We are fortunate as we have family all over the state and they know to expect 3 kids, and 10 Yorkies (plus 5 puppies born Wednesday) and 1 cat....

LuluMaye · 09-10-2008, 06:08 PM

My heart goes out to all in Texas! I went through that last week with Gustav and it was hell. Thank God we are all ok and no way would I leave my pets behind even if it meant sleeping in my car they would be with me.

Good luck to you and keep safe, my prayers are with you and your state.

Has anyone heard from Judy?I'm not familiar with the area, I wonder if they have to evacuate as well.
Prayers going to all of you Texans

flgurl69 · 09-10-2008, 06:27 PM

Prayers for everyone in Ike's path. I'm sure it can be hard to find shelter if you have pets, but I still couldn't leave mine behind. In the last few years since hurricane Charley tore through here in 04, we finally have shelters that allow pets.

Please be safe and try to keep us posted.

We have relatives that live in Beaumont. They came to my house with their dogs for Gustav and, like you, just unpacked at home! They are deciding whether to leave or not for Ike.
Nobody knows what evacuation is like until they have been through it. We flew from Disney in to Houston just in time to get caught in the evac from Rita. It took us 2 DAYS to make the 3 hour trip from Houston to Carthage!! I feel so sorry for you guys

Don't wait too long to leave! Betsi

We had mandatory Evac called this morning, so I may be on the road after all.... It is always a guessing game to an extent....
