Disaster Preparedness for Pets

Did you know that June is Disaster Preparedness for Pets Month? We're talking serious disasters here -not running out of cheese snacks. You can get some tips at the Humane Society and even better at the Red Cross. The Red Cross also offers a cool Pet First Aid class and some articles on preparing a disaster plan for you and animal kin. Your people should definitely take notice of this. We dogs are pretty smart but if you People are going to leave us locked in at home, you have to have a plan to take care of us! Tamara and I saw lots of dogs in Louisiana whose People did not have a plan. In our neck of the woods, disaster is most likely earthquake so the first step is to be sure that your dog bed is in a safe place away from potential falling objects! Can you imagine if your People are at work, you are asleep and an earthquake comes and a big mirror or lamp falls on your head! Not good.
