FEMA advises public to prepare pets for natural disaster
American families may be prepared for a natural disaster but are their
pets ready? September is National Preparedness Month sponsored by the United
States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and
the organization is urging the public to prepare in advance for all types of
natural disasters.
“You should do the basics to prepare for hurricanes or any other type of
disaster – be informed, make a plan, build a kit and get involved,” FEMA Region
6 Administrator Tony Robinson said in a September 8 press release. “We
encourage you to take things one step further and make sure you are financially
ready too.”

It was an age old question that has plagued men
for decades; furrowing the brow and inducing the sweat as they desperately try to
find the answer in time.
“What do I get my wife for her birthday?”
Darrin Wilson was one of those men struggling
to find that perfect birthday surprise for his wife Janet. While contemplating
the question he looked over at their dog Angus- a mini Boston terrier rescue-
and it just clicked. Darrin decided to make a toy that looked just like Angus
and give it to Janet for her birthday. He had no idea that a loving gesture
would touch both of their lives in such an unforeseen and wonderful way.
Darrin made the Boston terrier in the downward
dog pose- a tribute to Angus’ favorite stretching position. He branded the toy Wugadog gave it to Janet and she absolutely
adored her custom made Angus toy.
“I opened the box and saw that the toy was in
the downward dog position and I laughed. I knew that it was Angus right away and
wanted to show it to everyone,” Janet said in a correspondence.
