Even peanut butter? She is smarter than I am! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Canned dog food is usually moist and requires less additional water for the dog than dry dog food.

The cans I keep in my truck are for me. (Chili, beef stew, etc.) I have also started keeping an 8# bag of Eukanuba dry kibble in the back of my truck. It is covered by a shell and is inside of a plastic container. Because of the climate here (extremely dry) I expect no problems with storing it this way, but I will watch it carefully at first--due to the heat more than anything else--and rotate it regularly.

I have been meaning to get a vacuum packer for other reasons, but you and Bountyhunter are correct-once I get one I will probably seal up the kibble as well as lots of other things.

Regards, Vince

Thanks, Susan. The pillow case is a great idea. I was able to fit one of the Aluminum splints in by folding it into a squared off "U" shape to fit the pouch.

The pillowcase idea as an evacuation container came from a woman in Aust, running ahead of a huge firestorm. She put each of her 6 cats in its own case, then put them & some stuff in her car.... and the car wouldn't start. She tied 4 of the pillowcases together in pairs, & the last two with a short length of rope. She hung the pair with the rope around her neck, and the other pairs over her shoulders and headed for the main road. A man in a pickup stopped and got her out of danger. All she saved was her cats. She said the car deserved what it got.

Pretty inventive under stressful conditions, I thought.

A car can not take care of itself, it depends on its owner and/or user. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

If she had a few less cats, she might have had the time to take care of her car. Cars actually require less care than cats, and in an emergency are much more valuable.

Bounty, do you mean you would "kill the engine" and eat parts of the car ??? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

One problem I can see with putting something like a pillow case ove the dogs head and attaching it to the collar is that it would cover the eyes. Then you would have to carry the dog. That is why I suggested the muzzle as a base for the mask.

Speaking of collars I would recommend rather than the around the neck collar go with the kind that includes a chest strap. If you have any pet oon a leash and it gets away the leash can get hung up. If they have all four on the ground there is time. But ic they get hung up going over something there is little time before air runs out. The chest strap would help support the weight rather than just the neck.

I was assuming she meant something like the Evacu8 hood that you can see through. I have no idea if the hood is big enough for a large dog tho.

You have got to lay off that summer wine and drink a little more coffee. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Actually, that lady "yahoo" should quit looking to cats for solace and company and take better care of the car since it can haul her around when necessary.

If she had 1 cat and spent the time and money on keeping her car running, it would have worked when she had to suddenly evacuate her home because of the fire and her 1 cat would be with her. If the woman had fallen and hurt herself, she would have 6 helpless cats tied in bags with no way to run from the approaching fire storm.

When people that lonely are too dumb to see their own mistakes and say stupid things like "the car got what it deserved", I tend to understand dedicated mechanics feeling justified in padding the repair bills.
