We are very close to the coast (about two miles) so we usually leave home at least once a year. I just grab the dogs, our hurricane boxes and we go to a hotel out of the path till it passes. <br />I really wish they would have dog friendly shelters but none of them take dogs. I know many people who ride it out because of that. Dangerous stuff but I understand their mentality. Thanks for sharing these great tips :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04652147100355111036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-46181983593120970452014-06-03T19:02:42.753-05:002014-06-03T19:02:42.753-05:00Great tips to be prepared.Great tips to be prepared.2browndawgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792375606466389228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-72061877457242488772014-06-03T12:54:01.652-05:002014-06-03T12:54:01.652-05:00Great tips - luckily we don't get hurricanes o...Great tips - luckily we don't get hurricanes out here...just the opposite droughts & fires.SlimDoggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830198538573500213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-50244700441804182492014-06-03T01:08:03.447-05:002014-06-03T01:08:03.447-05:00Great info!
