Prepare Before Isaac Comes to Your Town

I was watching the weather station and I seen where a storm named Isaac was forming. You would think that since I live in Ky that storms like this shouldn't worry me. I am no where near the ocean and there is a lot of land between the ocean and me. But did you know that in Sept 2008 a hurricane named Ike came to Ky?

I was only 2 yrs old but I remember those winds. They kept blowing and blowing. My back yard was so tore up. Our out building that was bolted to the patio lifted up and wrapped around our huge tree, our pool ended up on the neighbors roof and so many trees were destroyed. We were without power for 10 days. It was ruff going out to potty. That wind was so strong it was hard to stand up and if you didn't watch how you pee peed, it would blow back on you. There was stuff blowing in the air. It was bad.We had to take extra steps to stay comfortable. We had to start doing things that we are never allowed to do thanks to puppy pads. It became too dangerous to go outside.

Since the weather station says that Isaac probably won't hit hurricane strength till next week, now is the time to prepare. They can say that it is going to hit this place or that place but you never know when it comes to mother nature. If you live on the ocean in any path of a hurricane please get prepared now. Even if the hurricane doesn't hit your area, at least you are prepared. When there is one hurricane; there are usually more forming. If you prepare now, there will be less to prepare next one.

Every hurricane you see the same stories of how pets were separated from their owners. There are ways to help keep your pet or to get your pet back to you if you do get separated.

Before the Storm:

1. Gather your important records together (including vet records) Put them in a portable file case so you can grab and go!
2.Micro Chip and vaccinate.If already micro chipped or currently vaccinated,  make sure those papers are in your portable file.
3.Take many photos of your pets from all angles. Print those photos and put them in portable file.
4. Make sure you have enough food, litter and medication (if they are on something) to get you through a week or more. It’s all about being ready for the worst case scenario.  Don't forget a can opener if you feed wet food. Sometimes dry food can get wet.
5.. Have pet crates available. Some pets will run when scared.
6.. Have a evacuation plan. Practice it now with your pet.
7.. Have leashes and supplies ready
8. If outdoor pets, be prepared to bring them in. DO NOT LEAVE PETS IN KENNELS - No they will NOT be ok if the storm hits your area.
9. Make sure collar has ID tags and it fits securely but not wear it chocks.
10. Puppy pads. If its pouring down rain for days with heavy winds, your dog or you may not want to go out.

Hurricanes are not like the tornadoes we have in Ky. Hurricanes last for days and days. Be prepared to maybe lose power and not having any clean drinking water for weeks.
I am not a expert on these storms, I do not claim to know what to do but I do know that with every hurricane you hear the stories of lost pets. Its heart breaking. So please be prepared.

Bret Michael's Pets Rock Swag Contest

  Recently my ma entered a contest from Fidose of Reality for the Bret Michael's Pets Rock Swag for Dogs. She never told me that she entered but today a package arrived at the door and I alerted her that it was out there. When she brought it in I was all excited to know what was in it. I sniffed it, pawed at it, gave her sad poodle eyes in hopes that she would open it. I am not allowed to open packages because I may damage whatever is inside. So I had to wait,and wait and wait some more. I swear ma was making me practice my patience. I laid beside the package wanting to know what it was. She told me she knew what it was and after dinner I could open it. 
   After we ate I went back to the package and pawed it. She said that we could open it. When she opened it I fell in love with what I seen. I knew I had to try it on and I was so hoping it would fit and that Jenny Sue wouldn't get the prize. I started pawing at my face since I had a case of the fuzzy face. Ma said "let's find your brush", BRUSH! YES! We went outside and I got brushed from my head to my toes. I kept pawing at my face, which is how I tell ma I want my faced shaved, She got the clippers out and I stayed pawfectly still just like a statue. Once I got prettied up we went inside and Sissy Sarah tried the prize on me. IT FIT! Now for the fun part, PICTURES, Where is the camera? Ma grabbed her camera and I asked to go outside so out we went. 
With my freshly shaved face, my new collar and leash,  here is my model session: 
I am so happy with my new leash & collar
Here is a side view

Here is a closer look


Ooh I got a card 
Don't even think about taking my card.
I asked ma how she won this contest and she said that she had to  reply to the post and tell what the name of one dog in your life who “rocks!!”
Her winning statement was: Bunny Allen  who said: “Carma Poodale Rocks!”
Thanks Ma, Thanks you, Fidose of Reality! I think you both Rock too. I know I am rocking with my new collar and leash!







Wednesday Woe

 .                     

I got in trouble this morning . Daddy let Scooby Doo out to go home and I pushed my way past daddy and shot out the door.Reason I did was because that black and white cat was out there hiding under daddy's car, so I took off after it and I stopped for a second but Scooby took off across the street after it so I shot across the street and passed Scooby up. Apparently daddy told ma what I had done and when I come around the back of the house that I chased the cat to, there was ma standing.

 She had the look on her face, that " you're in big trouble" look , I know you all know what I am talking about, you know THE look. Oh wow, she gave me a ear full of "you know better then to cross that street!" and reminded me of the rules and what could have happened if there was a car coming. I kept looking at her with my I really am SORRY look but it didn't do a bit of good. Not one bit, to top it off, she said I was a BAD Carma. Maybe it was that I was bad (pause)Carma but all I heard was Bad Carma. Daddy didn't make it any better because he told her he didn't even see the cat when he opened the door! Wow Thanks Daddy 

Ma never calls me bad. Ok I lied, she has a time or two told me that I was bad because of doing something I knew I shouldn't have done. I don't like that word BAD. Don't like it a bit. I am GOOD Carma, I know I am. But now ma is upset with me and I don't like that neither. I have to make sure I am a good girl the rest of the day cause I really gave my pawrents a scare. 

I know NEVER, NEVER, NEVER cross the road without supervision. I know this but I did it anyways. So this will be known as my Wednesday woe blog post. I just wasn't thinking, that is all.  Fur pals, please don't ever cross the street without a human with you, think before you dart out the door, if you mess up make sure you come back right away. Stay safe on the street. Your life can depend on it, 

Love,
Good Carma Poodale
