| Running from Ike! Please keep all those that are evacuating the Texas coast in your prayers! We need all the help we can get. There is so much to do even with warning! So many people are choosing to stay behind! I don't know their situations and what on earth could possibly be keeping them here, but I feel for them if they take a direct hit. Also a lot of pets are already getting left behind, please keep all of us in your thoughts! There are lots rescues here FULL of dogs and cats that have no way to evacuate. It is a real mess. I wish Ike would just hit a deserted island somewhere!

| Oh, I hate to hear that! I was already praying for the people...but I didn't think of the pets that might be left behind. I will most definitely be thinking of all you. Be safe.

| Evacuating Hi...It really breaks my heart that people leave their pets behind!! I have evacuated many of times and have taken all of my animals. Do they realize when they drop of their pets at a boarding clinic or vet boarding that nobody stays with them. When they drop of their pets they do not realize that the power goes out and these pets are alone in the hot air. Some places get flooded and their pets die and then they want to come back and complain. they are told that the clinic is not open while all this is happening. You should always bring your pets. Hotels allow pets.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | OMG they're DOING PET FRIENDLY Evacs - why are so many leaving their pets behind ? I feel so bad for you all who have to leave - I heard Freeport is mandatory TODAY to evacuate and that's only 1 hour from me here - but - I don't understand why they're jumping the gun so fast.. the poor pets. That really sucks GOOD LUCK TO ALL ! I hope everything is as it's been lately - a big storm with no punch on the gulf coast. Ike has been just horrible to the other countries he ripped thru............. |

| V, I wish I could tell you why people are still leaving their pets! It angers me so much! I just had some severe words with a man who works in the office across from me! He is single has a 4 wheel drive HUGE company truck with a company gas credit card and is leaving his 1 year old ridgeback outside in his backyard in an area that is GUARANTEED to flood! Needless to say I don't think we are friends anymore and I will be stopping by to get his dog when he leaves. We are very blessed to have friends and family all over Texas so we will be safe. Others are either being stubborn, or are not so lucky. The drive out of here will be slow but at least we will be out. Now Ike just needs to stay away from the areas that people are fleeing to!

| I've already been thinking about everyone down there. I don't know how anyone could leave their pets behind - no matter how big or how small. I could never, ever do that.

| All the people and animals in the path are in my thoughts and prayers. People who leave their "pets" behind annoy me to no end.

| Evacuating I am so glad you did that post on your Houston Newspaper. If anyone needs a place to stay you are welcome in our home. I know what it is like!! If they leave their pets they should not be allowed to have one.
