Joanie vs Sandy

Posted on

Joanie was ready for the hurricane! She had her kongs in the freezer, her bones ready to eat, and her crate nice and cozy. She was ready to face the high wind gusts, pouring rain, and possible power outages like she does any of life problems.

Sleeping!

Other ways she passed the night?

Peanut butter kongs

Begging for belly rubs

Spending relaxing time in her kennel

Joanie’s nose is a little more red than usual. When foster dad and I left to help BARCS evacuate the shelter before the storm, we came home to find that Joanie broke out of her kennel, for the first time. We made sure that she was with us for the rest of the storm, as it may have been anxiety. No worries, she is fine!

Overall she did really well, she braved the elements to do her business outside and came running in and relaxed the rest of the night as we watched CNN and made sure the other rescue pups were safe.

I am not sure if Joanie even knew there was a hurricane!

  1. I’m glad she did OK, other than the kennel breakout.

  2. Seriously could she be any cuter? What a little doll. Love reading your blog and hearing about her adventures.

  3. Love Joanie. A suggestion for breaking out of the crate (if it keeps happening) is to put padlocks on the areas she is breaking out of – the kind that you lock with a key – and make sure to hook them on the outside of the crate. Our pittie used to push his pan out of the bottom of his crate; after we put a few padlocks on that part, he hasn’t been able to do it since. Our second pup, a mutt, broke out of the top of his crate the first week we had him. We put one giant padlock on the top of the crate and he hasn’t gotten out since.
