GALTx eNews: Six Tips For Spring Storm Safety!
Every year, severe spring storms seem to start earlier and last longer. They present complicated safety planning scenarios for families with pets that warrant preparation in advance. Here are some key tips to consider when making your plans:
1) If you work away from home and can’t always return quickly, talk with neighbors about how they might help your pets in your absence. Exchange phone numbers and maybe even house keys.
2) If you don’t have a basement, know where your nearest tornado shelter is and be familiar with their pet policy. Prepare a bag in advance including all the things you’ll need to take with you for both you and your dogs. Make sure your dogs can navigate any stairs and floor surfaces presented by practicing before a storm arrives.
3) Make repairs to your fence now to make it more likely to withstand strong winds. Put a clip on your gate latch to make sure it cannot blow open. And if you experience strong winds, be sure to check the fence before letting your hounds out. Keep leashes with you while you shelter in case you can’t safely let your dogs out unleashed after the storm.
4) Take a moment now to review the contact information on your hounds’ tags, associated with their microchips, and, if you’re a GALT adopter, on file with GALT. If your hound escapes in bad weather, you want everyone to be able to help get them home.
5) If noise from thunder, wind, or hail causes your hound anxiety, make sure your safe place and storm kit includes any medications prescribed by your vet and anything else needed to comfort your pup such as Rescue Remedy, a Thunder Shirt, blankets, soft music, and maybe a crate. Stressed dogs in small spaces might also need muzzles for everyone’s safety.
6) Prepare your safe place for possible indoor potty breaks with puppy pads and poop bags as nervous dogs might not be able to wait the storm out.

rainy day stims !!! bc i had to walk around SOAKED yesterday since i didnt have an umbrella</3
The fear this fills me with is primal
Having been on a ship, possibly a bit smaller than the one in the video, in similarly rough seas, this doesn’t fill me with fear so much as the sense memory of intense nausea.
I hate tornadoes
The next morning only ashes remained.
It was supposed to be an inktober but whatever.. I just wanted to draw roofs sky and fire
