There is no doubt Georgie would be with us. Before Hurricane Sandy I printed out a list of hotels that accepted pets. There is no way I am leaving him anywhere without his Mom, Dad and brother

With me foe sure! When we are in the storm room my girls are always there with us!

You know, a lot of hotels in NY and NJ that had a no pets policy let all pets in during Hurricane Sandy! Very nice!

I and so glad to hear that! I think people (or at least I hope) learned with Hurricane Katrina to accept pets because its difficult when people have to leave their pets and some people won't (like us).

Bella would be with me. I seen on the news where there were two yorkies rescued from a house, because the parents had left them. YOu could tell they were shaking and panting. Just broke my heart. I guess I don't understand that.

I agree with you I just don't understand. It's so very sad

SophieKatesMom · 11-03-2012, 08:10 AM

Both Sophie Kate and Avery are going with me, we would sleep in the car if necessary but no way would I leave them behind. Heck I would be lucky if they remembered to take me during a evacuation.

ironmike86 · 11-03-2012, 08:16 AM

Moki goes with me.. He has food and supplies in my BOB bag. Doesn't take much to supply him. Brush,jacket and sample packets of food.

lisaly · 11-03-2012, 08:32 AM

We would never leave Katie behind. We promised to love and protect her no matter what, and we couldn't bear to be without her or know that she was scared without us. I'm so happy to hear that these hotels allowed pets.

Yorkiemom1 · 11-03-2012, 08:45 AM

It is absolutely inconcievable to me how anyone that has a pet they care ANYTHING about....even if they have NO love, but just a compulsion to help the helpless.....could waqlk away from that precious little soul, and close the door in their little face, even as tat baby, YOU KNOW FULL WELL, was trying desperately to follow them..... During Katrina, some people said they stayed behind because they would not leave their pets behind. Since that time, FEMA and rescue shelters and SPCA, etc have seen the bond between a person and their pets, and they allow pets bn helters and on vehicles used to evakuate people. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for those two Yorkies to have been neglected and left behind. Those dogs need to be rehomed, together hopefully, to anyone that will adore and love them every bit as much as they adore and are loyal to their human.

CouversMom · 11-03-2012, 08:59 AM

My two would definitely be with me! I cannot imagine leaving them...

JakesMom · 11-03-2012, 09:14 AM

We would not leave without our babies. The offers made to us were turned down as we could not bring our dogs. We would rather be in the cold house together than warm without them

Harrysmum · 11-03-2012, 09:19 AM

But they're one of the family.....I wouldn't leave my child 'somewhere else' to basically be looked after by strangers - so why our Littlies?

Where WE go, Harry goes - end of story
