Wife, myself and pooch stick together. Its assumed. Loyalty is all you have left when SHTF.
I've done my best to make provisions for we three. To do otherwise would be a betrayal of thier trust and of my nature. |

.... My puppies (I can still call them that for another two weeks
) have a huge impact on my life ... However, there's something to be said about Neil McCauley's (Heat's DeNiro) philosophy to never get attached to anything or anybody you can not walk away from if you spot the Heat (whatever form the HEAT may be) coming at you ... I see it this way - If I had to split, my doggies are going with me - Period. They'll help me keep some of my sanity, and they will think they're just going on one kick-ass, killer ride! |

Did NonCombatant Evac Planning with an Army Col at USFJapan. He made it clear his dog would get his wifes seat on the plane. "Hell, I can always get another wife. It took me a long time to get this good a dog and get it this well trained. I'm too old to do it again." Most people were relatively sure he was mostly serious.
Give you a broad hint, when push comes to shove and the choice is between getting people on the vehicle and pets on the vehicle, people come first. If you aren't prepared for that or to deal with that then you better be smart enough to get out of Dodge on time., with your animals. |

I would not leave Jaeger. More than likely we will be in LA soon looking for "remains" as he is cadaver-trained and we have been on many Search Missions together. We're both survivors and self-sufficient and will never rely on a .gov bus to get our asses out of trouble.

If they asked to take my dog before I was able to evacuate, I will quote my wife:
"If they asked me to leave Snafu (our Pug) behind, I'd put one round in each of his kneecaps just for asking, and walk away." I love my wife. Av. |

"The average dog is a better person than the average person"
I have never had a dog lie to me. They let you know their intensions up front. |

Just in case in of your fellow North Texans would like to be a foster home for a pooch while his owners from New Orleans sort things out, there's is now a number where you can sign up as a temporary foster home.

The way i see it is my dog is the mopst loyal friend i'll ever have, He's loyal regardless and He's totally dependant on you!! He /She did not ask to be domesticated, we as humans did that and therefore we are responsible for caring for man's best friend and when the time comes end their suffering.
I know my dog< I don't know the asshat telling me to leave the dog behind!!! |

My dog looks out for my family. She warns us when ever strangers are near and she follows my kids everywhere adn acts more like an overprotective mother than a dog.
Of course I would have left 4 days before the storm like other civilized folks. |

That's the one where he tells his old lady 'A dog has got the right to have a man around, just like a man has got the right to have a dog around!' (One of my favorite quotes by the way.) Later on the keeper of the gate won't let him and his dog Rip go through the gate together. So he doesn't go in because he doesn't want to be in a place '.. that don't allow dogs.' Farther down the road he runs into St. Peter and finds out that the previous gate was the gate to Hell. And that the reason they don't allow dogs is 'Because a man will walk right into Hell with his eyes open. But even the devil can't fool a dog.' nuff said. |

My dog has more value to me than 99% of the human garbage I run across. He is more loyal, more honest, more affectionate, and more considerate. I'd stay with my dog.

My wife might take the dog and leave me behind. I understand how she feels.
