We have thought about this at length. Recently, we moved from Alaska to Mississippi. Now we need to be prepared for the occasional hurricane warning. Going back and forth from motor home to trailer I think we have decided on something like a toy hauler trailer which is a trailer that has a garage. We have a large conversion van, plus a mini van. Our dogs can ride with us. If we are unfortunate enough to be caught with a litter of puppies we can reconfigure and put some of the dogs in the trailer while we ride out of harms way. We can leave a trailer in ready mode and also have a place for us to sleep on the road if we can't get north to another friend with a kennel or to my sister's in Houston. That's our plan. My husband says he will not leave the dogs behind. If an emergency came up and for some reason we couldn't get the animals out..he'd stay and I am to leave and take my parents out of harms way. We live in the country now, we have even secured big generators for the house and kennel so when the power goes...there is still a/c that automatically kicks on.. we installed a huge propane tank to run all this stuff just in case.. I hope we have thought about everything and don't have to test it out anytime soon!
