A scary thing happened last night, my carbon monoxide detector went off and I was in a panic. All is OK, but I was terrified because I was only able to get two of my pets out, my last kitty, Blackie was left behind, because I simply could not get her out from under the bed, no matter how hard I tried.
She's ok. Thankfully, it was a malfunction of my carbon monoxide reader that caused it to go off. This reader now needs to be replaced and my fire dept. recommended purchasing one that gives a digital reading, so that it's more clear when danger exists and you need to get out immediately.
Moral of the story is be prepared, and plan ahead on how you would get your pets out in an emergency.
The Humane Society of the U.S.(www.hsus.org) recommends that your pet disaster supply kit should be packed in a waterproof container and include the following:
1. At least a three-day supply of food and water for each pet
2. Pet medications and veterinary records
3. Leashes and harnesses
4. Current photo of your pets
