Kent absolutely great advise, wish I would have read it about 10 minutes ago, but too late, I just fed em, cell phone ringing every 10 minutes... might sound disgusting but the can do their personal business on some newspaper in the house if need be... my dogs have a very high priority for me... as all you pet lovers know what I mean

for the record all packed up and can make a quick get away if required... still looking OK for me... still looking north.. TV mets saying I get 100mhp winds max as it stand... with some higher gusts... I have 120 during Elena from the south, so I'm a little encouraged at the moment... but will leave if I see any deviation in track to west... boy this thing has a big friggin eye doesn't it

again, thanks for all the advise and support....
