This hurricane has been so much worse than Katrina for so many. One of the heart-hurting problems is that evacuating if you have a pet is tough. Most motels and hotels ( IF you can find a vacancy within 200 miles) will Not accept a QI ... some if the pet is 10 lbs or less ... and most shelters are just not equipped to take them in. Just nobody has a big heart like Texas. They are taking in pets from Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana whose families HAD to evacuate and Could Not take their best friends with them. Mr. Esther and I are still able to take in a few and we do; even a rather cranky old fellow who wasn't used to strangers ( roasted turkey won him over). I know rctq is not my personal platform for thank you's - but how wonderful the hearts of the Texans are. God's blessings surely do arrive in surprising ways. Polly
