Woof hello Everyone,
This is Nili here telling Mom what to write as I am carrying on my sisters Laylas Legacy.
September is National Disaster Preparedness Month; it is very important as we must be prepared for any type of Disaster especially with climate change happening all over the world and not knowing what can happen.
Because we live in San Francisco where earthquakes happen, we have a bag ready for emergencies with everything Mom can think of so that we do not have that worry if we must run out of the house. Since I have come to live with Mom, and having been a stray in my past life, Mom has added to the list a carrier for me so she can put me in it and not have to worry about me trying to run away or hurt myself walking on the debris in the streets. The plus with this carrier is that expands so that I will have room to stretch out plus Mom can put a water bowl or food in it. She would keep it closed for carrying but once in a safe place she would expand the sides and front. It also has a strap in it so she can strap me in, and I cannot run. It would give her peace of mind.
The expandable bag which is amazing
Thank you Mr Peanuts for this amazing carrier, you can see their fantastic products on their website :
This is what is in our bag which Mom has and it on wheels so it is easier for her to pull as it is heavy: Boxes of Water, Food for both of us, Treats, Flashlights with batteries, sleeping bag for Mom, toys for me of course, Leash and harness with ID tags on, and BOL some coffee for Mom, and most important a first aid kit for both of us. We also have a wallet with cash in just in case ATMs are not working so I feel Mom has covered everything. If you think she has forgotten something, please tell Mom so she can add it to our bag. I also keep my phone charged so that it will be charged if I must grab it and go out.
Now for something different, Mom surprised me last Friday and took me to meet a friend of hers who has a beautiful garden and two dogs, Dash and Storm and I had so much fun. They did not want to play with me, but it is ok as I ran around the garden playing with a ball and as Mom said burnt off lots of energy, it was so much fun to be able to run around and she told me that because I was so good she is taking me today also. WOW life is getting to be fun although as she says I must behave myself when walking there and listen to her BOL. I am trying though and slowly doing what she wants.
WOW sniffing with no leash
Nili and Storm
Guess what I am running
Yes am smiling but tired it has been so much fun, Nili
So that is what is happening here, Mom is trying to get me out more plus meet other dogs, the more I behave the more I will have adventures. Have a wonderful weekend everyone, with lots of hugs and woofs, Nili
Nili, you are such a cutie girl and it sounds like your Mom has a good plan. We have plans here too and we hope we never need to implement them! Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Terry we all need to plan and pray we don’t have to use them but I always say rather be safe than sorry. Thanks as always for your Thankful Thursday Blog Hop as I love reading what is happening with your cats, have a great week
It is always a good thing to be prepared and I love your new carrier, Nili. Meeting new friends is wonderful!
Duke thank you and it is important to be prepared, we love meeting new friends also so it is always good to see you here. The carrier is wonderful and a must for those that need one. Have a wonderful week, woof from Nili
Great reminder for National Preparedness Month! I’m glad mom got you a carrier, that is so important if you ever need to evacuate your home. I love your friend’s yard, Jessie would love to play there too!
Cathy it is so important to be prepared and that carrier is great and would be good for Jessie also to keep her safe. My friends yard is fantastic and she is loving spending time there and while the weather is good am trying to do it on a weekly basis, Jessie is welcome to join us, have a wonderful week with a woof from Nili
A love the carrier, it is essenyial in case a disaster happens and you need to move fast.
Making friends is one of the best parts of a doggy life, did you know? Safe in a home you can start to make friends and have so much fun!!!
Marjorie the carrier is awesome and I love it. Nili is slowly making friends and is doing really well with small dogs thank goodness and the yard to play in is just perfect for her as she can run and play but be safe.
That is a fabulous carrier! I haven’t seen one like that before. I’ll have to check out Mr. Peanuts.
A grab bag is absolutely essential! I couldn’t agree more. Currently, there are two rather large fires nearby. One started at Henry’s favorite state park. It sounds like that park is completely destroyed. Folks have released horses and are hoping for the best. Not something I would ever, ever do with any of my animals. I pray they’ll get these fires under control and all the animals are safe and will get back to loving families (and maybe they’ll put more value on them in the future as well).
It sounds like Nili is settling in well and starting to learn the ropes. She is absolutely adorable and you’re doing a great job with her. Not that I ever had a doubt. You’re an amazing hu-mom!
Hugs and pets to you and Nili for a safe and fun week!
OMG Terri please be safe I am worried about you and Henry now. I am so sorry to hear about the park which breaks my heart and releasing horses is so wrong and traumatic for the animals too.
That pet carrier is amazing and a must have for our pets as it makes life so much less stressful if we have to run.
Thanks for your compliment, she is slowly but surely learning the ropes and has settled down completely in the house phew.
Hugs to you and Henry from us and please stay safe xxx
Glad to hear she is doing so well with her socialization! Now that the weather is cooling down, I’m trying to get our puppy out so he can practice listening in public.
Tiffany that sounds like a great idea, the earlier you do it the better but it takes lots of time and patience, have fun
Oh, Nili, the fun has only just begun for you! Wait until you see all the great adventures you and your wonderful Hu-Mom will be going on! So glad you had fun running around the gardens, and great tips from Hu-Mom for disaster preparedness (and we hope it never needs to be used). Hugs!
Hi Dorothy, thanks and we are keeping limited busy at the moment till we get the training sorted out but she is a happy girl and that is all that matters. I also hope we will not have to worry about some natural disaster but as I say rather be safe than sorry. Big hugs from us xxx
