Evacuate the Animals Also

Booksphotographsandartwork — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:55:32 +0000

Here is the Evacsak that can be used as a hands free method of evacuating cats, kittens, small dogs and birds during an emergency. Keep it beside your pet’s food or on the coat rack. Somewhere that you can grab it fast. I keep my cat’s crate in the hall. Does it look good? No. But I know exactly where it is in an emergency. Now if I could just train her to go in it when it rains or storms! She is scared of rain so she immediately goes under the bed. When a storm does pop up I grab the dog’s harnesses and leashes and hang them on the door knob in the hall or put them on the dogs according to how bad the storm might become.

There is a lot of great information about taking care of and evacuating dogs, cats, birds and horses in the book, Out of Harm’s Way by Terri Crisp and Samantha Glen. If you have a pet you need to have this book. If like me you don’t want to read the horribly sad stories of the animals that she and others have rescued during catastrophic events then skip to the section in the back about how to handle evacuation preparedness. Trust me some of the animal rescue stories will never leave you.

Even if you don’t have pets I encourage you to read this book so you can help others who do. Family, friends or neighbors who have more than one pet would sure appreciate an extra hand during a difficult time. Maybe you could help an animal shelter. There will certainly and unfortunately be a huge need for help after a disaster and the more prepared you are the better help you can be.

Please recommend this book to all of your family and friends. Also please re-blog this post. Every animal deserves a fighting chance. We can help ourselves but they have to depend on us. Step up to the plate and be an animal hero. Consider buying an Evacsak for someone you know or several for a shelter.

Oh My!

No wonder my husband looked at me funny and laughed first thing this morning. Just might be the reason the cat is hiding under the bed also. And the dogs have been staring at me a lot. I had no idea this is what I looked like.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are grieving along with you. Just know that we would like to hold your hand or give you a hug. We wish we could take away all of the pain and horror. If it were possible we would all go and help you.

Please give to the Red Cross to help the people of Oklahoma. They need monetary donations and as always blood.

Problem with Apophysis?

Booksphotographsandartwork — Sun, 19 May 2013 20:16:58 +0000

If you are using the fractal making program apophysis and encounter the problem of the weight and transform button showing up in the editor in the wrong place so that you can’t scroll up behind the little window the way to resolve that issue is to change your font on the computer to default. Yep simple as that. I know that was the longest sentence ever.

The Angels…

danced around in the soft, blue moonlight, laughing and singing praises to God.

They blew kisses onto the heads of babies on earth down below that smelled of bubblegum and sweet gardenia flowers.
