One of the events that horrified me during Katrina was seeing on the news all the pets that had to be left behind b/c they were not allowed on the buses when the evacuees were being picked up. It was also sad that people had to choose not to leave because of their pets. I don't know that I could have left my beloved Gizmo behind.
I am relieved to know that they are better prepared to take care of the fur babies for this storm. To read on the preparations, you may visit the ASPCA website.
I know to some that animals are merely just that, animals. But to me, they are part of families. And to have to leave one behind not knowing what will happen to him/her, is devastating and can have a life long emotional effect to those that loved and cared for them.
Just wanted to share my relief for what it's worth.
Until next time, HB
