We evacuated on Friday afternoon with the felines. As I rode out of New Orleans, I was comforted by seeing other dogs in cars evacuating with their walkers. A boxer sat in the passenger seat of the car next to us, waiting for the traffic to end. We had a few problems on the road as the walker ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. He almost had to walk to the nearest gas station but we managed to start the car on fumes and coast into the next station. The felines decided to wake and explore at that point, which seemed to stress the feeder out tremendously. We arrived at Boo Boo & Papaw's house near midnight. Evacuating is exhausting!
My walker and feeder have been monitoring the weather on the news. I noticed many pets made the news. They were boarding buses with their walkers & feeders. I just wanted to commend the state and local workers for the great job they did in evacuating so many pets and their people. It looked like a very organized operation. Certainly, many of those people would not have evacuated if they could not bring their pet family. I understand that many of the people working were volunteers. It was really touching to see that much effort being exerted for animals.
Thanks!
