Mommy and I evacuated from New Orleans on Saturday afternoon...I saw her packing and was VERY confused...I was so glad that I got to go with her... It was weird when we left. Mommy brought in all of our pretty plants and moved the furniture away from the windows. We got in the car and tried to get gas, but all of the gas stations were out of gas; luckily, mommy had enough to get us out of the city. We were in a little bit of traffic getting out of the city, but made it out pretty quickly. We took a very long drive up to Fort Worth, TX. It was VERY LONG; mommy said we made good time since it only took 9 hours and it usually takes 8 (even though that is longer, it was good because we stopped to eat and go potty, and had to get out of the city). We got to Daddy's house in Fort Worth around 1:00 Sunday morning.
I was so happy to see my daddy and all of his roommates! I missed them very much! While we were at Daddy's house, I had to go to the vet to get my flea medicine and heartworm medicine. I also got to go pick out new toys. Mommy didn't bring very much with her when we left. We didn't know the storm was going to be so bad; we thought we were just going to see daddy for a long weekend, and then we would go home. Now we aren't sure when we are going home.
On Wednesday morning, we flew to California to see my Grandparents and uncle dog. I didn't like the plane ride very much! Daddy went out to the gate with Mommy to make sure that I got on the plane ok. Daddy watched a very mean man pick up the back of my cage, where I couldn't see, and drop it like 5 times!! It scared me. Daddy went and talked to the person in charge, and they were very upset about it too and said that they would take care of it! When mommy got me off the plane, I was very sleepy but was very glad to be in California.
Now we are in California and are staying at my Grandma's house at the beach. Mommy and I are very glad to have some time off to figure out what we are going to do. We don't know when we are going to be able to go back to New Orleans and check our stuff. We also don't know how bad our house is. We lived on the 2nd floor of a house, so we don't think there was any flooding, but we don't know about wind damage and looting.
I will try to keep everyone updated on how mommy and I are doing. I am very busy here going for walks and playing with my Uncle Austin. Thank you very much for your concern.
