CatNipped,
It is sad that your daughter had to leave the dogs behind but at least the family was able to make it to your house. Who knows, the dogs may be able to survive. I know there are some rescue groups going there to help. I wonder if word could get to them to check the area for the dogs? I wouldn't say the dogs' deaths, if that's what happens, are your daughter and SIL's 'fault'. They had to make a decision, and did the best they could. I will send healing prayers and purrs to you and your family, esp. the little girls who probably can't comprehend what is going on. Purrs, Theresa |

I haven't heard from either of my brothers or their wives (I do know from the news that their homes are under 25 feet of water), I haven't heard from any of my nieces or nephews (again, except that their homes are under water). My mother-in-law and sister-in-law and my daughter's home are under water, so they'll be here with us for some months to come (thank God). We know absolutely nothing about neighbors and friends we grew up with except that their homes are either destroyed or are under water too. And yes, my daughter's dogs are probably dead, and yes, it was my daughter and son-in-law's fault - but as hard as that is for us to bear, it still pales in light of the larger tragedies. Departing purrs would be greatly appreciated. Hugs, CatNipped CN, don't you dare leave us. I think we all need to be like the guy who got kicked by the jacka$$: consider the source and forget all of the jerks who have not found it in their hearts to have compassion for you and all of those who have been affected by this horrendous catastrophy. In other words, KILLFILE the jerks. I did! Purrs and Hugs, Nan |

Jo Very good point. That was mostly a rant on my part. I manage my life very well w/o help from cat ngs. Lost control temporarily. |

Never assume because majority of us say nada re never-ending posts of a few that we support what they post. As you know, some people have zero common sense. What you say is result of what *I* said: putting your business in "street" of 'Net. Points well taken. Of course I would never leave my cats behind to a 'cane.....I'm old FL cracker stock...we rode out every 'cane when I lived there...for Andrew we (cats included) were all in bathtub under a queensize mattress. But we aren't talking about me; I've heard (read) more than I ever wanted to know about some posters' personal lives here and the last thing they need is encouragement to feed us more of it (gag). Bingo. Sidebar: I've been briefly to one infertility ng to lurk and I *do* have empathy for those people, being a parent. I would like to let them know my 'rents were trying 10 years before I, the oldest, arrived to their great joy, then 4 years later, my sister, 5 years later, 'lil 'bro. Why don't you tell 'em for me? I don't hang there. I will do. Thanks. -L. |

It is useless. It doesn't help the dogs. It's not going to help some phantom future dog out there. It might. Maybe it will make someone think twice before doing something so utterly cruel.

Why couldn't Cat**** just refrain from posting about it? It would have saved dozens of people grief. It's just as wrong, IMO and accomplishes nothing except your own self satisfaction. All it has done is turn this into you and your enemies own little private war thread. Um, yeah, whatever. Keep reading. -L. |

I do not doubt that CN's kids were simply not prepared. Looking at the Superdome situation and the small amount of preparedness the government is showing, how can I fault them? I am not God and I cannot judge that situation. I can only say that *I* would have tried stuffing those dogs in the truck on top of my kids if need be. I don't know the situation so I can't say if what happened was right or wrong. And it is certainly not going to correct anything. You appear to be happy to dance on those dogs graves for your own needs to continue the long standing feud. Just as Trish probably could care LESS about the situation but is using it to dance on YOU. Stop the g*dd*mmed cycle.

This was never about the dogs for you no matter what you say here. |

And if that means you have to leave this group, then we'll understand - you have far more important things to worry about, and there is no need to apologise. Purrs to your family and yourself, and the dogs, and all the other people (fur and bare) who have suffered because of Katrina. *hugs* Yowie |

Hops, there has been several national guard units deployed. Everybody in the
guard that can be spared has been sent, plus the coast guard, additional police officers and whatnot. "hopitus" wrote in message ... News from Times-Picayune I just looked @ - what 'Nipped predicted *did* come true: some big part of some waterwall down there gave 'way from pressure, and da**ed if Lake Ponchartrain isn't flooding neighboring parishes, but bigtime! Pics too. Local rescue authorities are overwhelmed by lack of communication to rescue residents from their temporary lifewaving high-level whereabouts and - I was surprised - looting is rampant all over NO and beyond. What surprised me is that their law enforcement evidently doesn't have as good a handle on looting as that in s.FL. Looting there is sparse and isolated and if law not around, local furious citizens likely to gang up on looters and do them bodily harm.... I can't understand why NO or higher authorities don't call in the military to keep order PLUS rescue and cleanup of flooding. Military (I think) doesn't need land-line communication means and have specific training for disastes like this one. It ain't over yet, folks. As for my cuzzins in LA delta area, they have no phones to speak of and would have to get to Houma and/or Thibideaux to communicate w/anyone. I trust in their down-home 'Cajun craftiness to have protected them when K. turned east and the eye must've gone right over their areas.That's all I can do for now. "Exocat" wrote in message ...

I'm on "Nipped's" case because she thinks it is perfectly fine to leave dogs behind to drown, and even has the nerve to post about it here. That so many of you support this type of choice is extremely appalling. Would you EVER leave your cats behind? Ever? Of course not. There is no excuse for this type of animal neglect. The only one in that family who deserves sympathy are those poor dogs. I at least hope they went without too much struggle. -L. Newsflash Bitch... The people were instructed to leave animals at home or THEY WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED SHELTER! So, whatcha gonna do, sit and drown in your home, or hope the pets make it in your home... OR! be forced to release them in downtown French Quarter? And for your information I have no idea of CN's family tried or not. Not the problem here. but I did have friends and very dear people try to leave. Guess what, they couldn't. The interstate was gridlocked. But I guess they should have blinked their eyes and alacadabra, Guess WHAT L!!! ! We magically saved our dogs and ourselves by flying on a broomstick to an animal friendly shelter. I don't say it to too many people because I know how tragedy hurts but someone really should come in and cause as much personal pain to you as humanly possible. |
