I love mine dearly. I have a long haired cat named Jazzy and a German Shepherd, dog named Jipsee. I was thinking today about all the pets who perished in Katrina. Anyway, here in Maryland we had Hurricane Isabel two years ago in September. Flooded all of downtown Baltimore and devastated the counties near the water. I live in the city not far from downtown and I can't swim. So, I thought, "I'll buy myself a life jacket in case of another storm surge--and also buy one for my animals." I suppose this is possible. I don't believe I have ever seen life jackets for animals advertised but I'm sure they're out there somewhere.
