I'm still waiting for word from my Boxer friend who lives just north of Mandeville. She was unable to evacuate in time, and her family came up from New Orleans to ride out the storm. Worry for them is nearly consuming me...if I'd known a day or so earlier, I'd have somehow driven the motorhome down there to get them all. I have friends in Pascagoula; I can only hope they left in time to be safe. I can't get hold of them either. I hate this. I also didn't realize that everyone in the city would rush out and fill all their cars, so I drove around for two hours tonight looking for diesel for my VW. Couldn't find any in time; had to get a ride and a gas can. Big whoop compared to what everyone is dealing with in LA/MS/AL. If it could help some displaced doggy people... I've got a five bedroom rural house with horse barn and an extra building. Number of dogs is not an issue, as long as they're well taken care of.
