Pets and the hurricane

If we get smacked with this hurricane, just curious as to what everyone will be doing with their animals? I'm sort of freakin out about what to do with my pigs. Appyday, any plans for your animals?

Mine will be in the house as well (to include the pigs). I suppose I'm trying to prepare for the worst possibility and we may have to leave the area.

Does any of you livestock folks out there have any recommendations? Can pigs just ride in the back of a truck? Know of anywhere I could acquire pig cages?

Christy - call your vet. I already have. There are some vets that are being prepared to board animals, and then there are some pet boarding areas outside of the "zone" that are prepared to give shelter for animals. With your pigs, your vet might have the best suggestions of where they can be safely and comfortably kept. I know back home during the hurricane season we tend to board the animals (horses, cows, etc.) further inland on other farms.

I can't leave my pigs, they're part of the family not really "farm animals". I would feel the same as if I dumped my kids off with a sitter before evacuating. :frown:

Know just what you mean. I ain't leaving my pets either. I fully intend to stay home with my pets...work can KMA. I don't think we will have to evacuate, at least I hope not.:frown:

Thanks Cat! :love: I've decided, unless it's a mandatory evacuation, I'll be home, under the stairs, with Steve, the kids, the pigs, the dog, the cat, and Tyrone. :jet:

Appyday, keep us updated on how Yoshi rides this out. (and the rest of your family)

I think our fish will ride the storm out just fine, just a matter of locating them once it's over.

Cari,

I had not thought of the fish at all until you mentioned it. The hamster is on his own too.

I only have 3 fish..

You big meanie!

:bawl: I know but the dog WILL eat the hamster so he is better off staying in the house and taking his chances. I'm not holding him, I'm scared of him.
