Tonight was one of the most scary nights of my life. We just got home from being evacuated from our house. The FIRE STATION across the street from our house just burnt to the ground. Everything was lost, they couldn't even get the trucks out. It was 45 minutes before the first truck from a surrounding town got here.
I always have my kennels together but I have the doors off. As soon as I saw the flames I put the doors on. When I started hearing explosions I scooped everyone up and put them in. The dogs' leashes are always hanging on a hook next to the door. Everyone (cats, dogs, and ferrets) cooperated perfectly. The police banged on the door then and we all got in the car. This all happened in a matter of minutes!
I grabbed the pets and pet food and that is it! Not even my wallet. We were extremely lucky that nothing happened to our house and we are back in now.
I just wanted to remind everyone that horrible things happen all the time and it happens faster than you could imagine!
Please hug your pets!!
