| Yorkie Fire Safety We recently moved from just outside Tulsa where the fire department had these little stickers you could put in your window that said something like: "Firefighter, please save my pet." You put them in the window of the room/s where your pet spends the most time. I don't remember the details of the program but it worked something like that. The firefighters knew about the stickers and would look for them. Once in a while we'd see a report about a pet saved through the program. Because pets tend to hide in a fire, firefighters often don't even know that there is a pet in a burning house. My larger well trained dogs had the run of the house, partly because there's no purpose in a locked up watch dog. I always assumed that in a fire they could probably escape and since we had 10 acres, they'd probably just hang around on the property. But my new Yorkie baby sleeps in a closed crate and stays in a crate or closed off bathroom when I'm not home. I want to get some of the stickers, but my husband says there's no way this rural area with volunteer firefighters participates in something like that. So if I can't get those, I want to make my own. Any ideas on how to get reflective ink or something? I don't want this to be a hideous thing because it's going to have to be visible most of the time. But it needs some way to be reflective so it will be noticable at night. Any thoughts on this or am I just a worry wart? |

| Also, I've seen those stickers at Petsmart. You could try looking there too. What city by Tulsa did you live in? I used to live right outside of Tulsa also. |

| I think you can buy the window sticky stuff and make your own on the computer!! That's a great idea. |
