I'm glad you have hippo by your side Jaquie☺ I lost my service dog a couple of weeks ago😢🐶 I miss him so much and I hope I'll get a new one soon even tho it won't replace my Pluto.
Cajsa Mörk I'm so sorry for your loss! I cannot imagine the feelings you have. Our sweetheart is 14.5 years old now, and cannot imagine a day without her. Big hug from us!
Hi y’all! Judd and I are a bit busy today, so I may not be able to reply to comments. Here is some extra info on today’s vlog: We are doing okay! We honestly are well stocked on supplies, but are still on the lookout for extra essentials if we are able to find them. Can never have enough! We also have a few tricks for water (filling large bins/cleaning and bleaching trashcans to fill and boiling water, etc). Har is going back on the kibble she ate before starting a raw diet: Taste of the Wild Salmon Formula. The dogs are also accommodated in regards to supplies. Why do I live in FL with the heat? Our life is here, our family is here, my in state tuition is here, and Judd’s career is here. Why am I not staying with my parents? Well, my mom is going with my dad to care for him (he is a stroke survivor). Caring for him and me during a hurricane is too much to ask of her. (Remember, Judd most likely will not be with us, he will most likely be working.) My dad has close family friends he wants to be with, and Paul/Janiece’s house cannot accommodate all those people. We need to allocate ourselves accordingly with supplies, and that is what we are doing. My mom and dad are going with close family friends, and myself with PJ. They know how to help me out medically as well should we need it. We all thought things out thoroughly and decided this was the best action plan for everyone. Edited to add: I'll be vlogging as usual, but if the power goes out, that's an issue lol. Stay safe! Stay up to date! There is new info on Irma with each update. Do not forget my vlogs are uploaded a day late, so do not depend on them for accurate info. I pray that this goes as well as it can. Much love to you all!
My dog doesn't eat Taste of the Wild and everywhere I look it has bad reviews and very few dogs seem to eat them. It's good Har eats it though! I hope everything will be alright during the hurricane!
Chronically Jaquie Thank you for all of the detailed updates so that we don't worry too much about you guys! We're all hoping for the best for you, your family, your friends, and everyone else who might be impacted by this hurricane.
Chronically Jaquie I was reading that you can fill empty (and clean) bottles of all sorts with tap water (if it's ok to drink) as well as filling Tupperware with water and freezing it to have for the pups and cleaning water as well as filling the bathtub to the brim with water for toilet flushing and cleaning. Toilet paper and Kleenex are staples too
Chronically Jaquie I prayed for everyone in the path of the Hurricane. I know God shelters those in the storm and you and your family will be safe in sound. God provides shelter for those who call on him. Thanks for the updates Jaquie!
I am so nervous for you guys. All of the people in Florida as well. Please be safe. Living in eastern Canada I have never experienced a hurricane or any extreme weather really. I would be absolutely terrified! Maybe it will swing around and head out into the atlantic. I pray God will keep you and yours safe. i totally agree with you about supplies Jacquie. It is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. My thoughts and prayers are with you on this coming adventure. Be safe, love to all.
Where I am in Canada, the worst natural disaster I've experienced was a 2 second small earthquake. 2nd worse would be having thunder and lightning storms like 1-3 times a year. Really thankful that I don't have to go through anything major and don't want to take anything for granted. I wish the best of luck to those who have to go through with it and that everyone will remain safe
Since I live in the Eastern Coast and in a brick building Hurricanes don't really scare me. I think they're fun for some reason. My parents think I'm crazy tho. There really not that bad where I live.
Hi Jaquie, I just had a thought......I know you have probably already accounted for this, but just in case, don't forget extra water for all of the furbabies. I'll be praying for you. I live in Australia and I can't imagine what you are all going through, it must be scary. Stay safe. 🙏🏼💕
I have been feeding raw for over 8 years. I also work at a holistic vet. We always recommend to have some freeze dried raw food on hand just in case. There is no issues with tummy upset switching. There is a number of different brands, it's light, it last for years. It is pricy but we only use it for travel or emergency situations. Here is a couple of brands I trust I have fed in the past that you can get in your state, but I am sure there are others. www.orijen.ca/foods/dog-food/freeze-dried-dog-food/adult-dog/ www.k9natural.co.nz/dog-food-range/freeze-dried-dog-food/
I'm going yo be in the hurricane in Florida 😢 I life right in its path! I have one bunny one cat and three dogs and start cats in my neighborhood. please pray I home texes is doing good I hope you are safe too thank you for reading
frances D yea it’s really not good to mix the two and dogs actually transition easier if it’s done like a straight swap, of corse when feeding a commercial pet food and changing brands without transitioning slowly can give the dog an upset stomach but that’s because digesting that food is so taxing on their bodies raw food isn’t. I’ve fed raw to my 3 for years now and it’s always so great to see other owners doing the same. 👍
Praying for all of Florida and those others in the path of this hurricane. You guys have been on my mind so much. I'm so happy you are being proactive and heading out to stay with Janiece and Paul. Very glad you will be together to weather this out ( no pun intended). I hope everyone gets through this safely. Love and Hugs.
Next dog in we're going try the raw food route. Our current dog (Small Beagle-mix. Mommy was a mutt apparantly. But she just looks like a young Beagle pup. A perfect example of a Beagle, but smaller) is allergic to pretty much almost anything. Cost us nearly 4 years to find food her body can handle! We found Canagan Senior kibbles with chicken taste. Only thing she will eat AND can handle! It's like she knows when we give her the food that her body cannot handle it, because food she is allergic to she will refuse to eat. Sadly she cannot even handle rice and fish. It has given us a lot of heartache, but she is well worth it! But she is getting old, and we are getting to the point that we feek blessed with every day we get. With all her allergy problems she has made it to 14.5 years already and not showing any signs of slowing down, the only thing you can notice her age is the amount she sleeps, and her gray hairs! She is my first dog and has helped me a lot with my dog fear! I will never, ever, forget her. She is a very special dog to me. One day I wish I can get a service dog.
Ainiewainy I have a Small Beagle-Jack Russell Terrier mix. We just started him on a raw diet and I have seen so many changes in his coat, energy, etc. I would definitely recommend putting your dog on a raw diet!
I have a poodle and he's allergic to grain and poultry, it's also very hard cuz sometimes we'll find a food he likes and doesn't harm him and then they discontinue that food where we live. I would love to put him on a raw diet but he wouldn't have many choices.
I love your courage and love that you are spreading awareness! I hope Judd, Harlow and yourself stay safe during this storm. Is your home health company going to deliver alittle extra ahead of the storm, just in case?
My friend in Tampa is also evacuating to Orlando. Hope you make it safe. ❤️ Just wanted to add that my mom had a battery operated nebulizer for power outages. Maybe you could get one in the future. It also came with a car charger.
you could do a gradual transition from raw to kibble :) you are so diligent in taking care of your health. I admire you so much and thanks for spreading awareness
I love the Not Your Mother's line, first thing I used was the dry shampoo. Glad someone else likes it as much as I do, my SO doesn't really like the smell of it though hahaha
Ugh, it broke my heart to hear that! It can actually screw up their digestive system switching back and forth to kibble & raw, especially if the pup's been eating only raw for an extended period of time. Totally get its hard circumstances, but personally id choose to feed my pup fruits & veggies (or even what im eating if acceptable for dogs) over kibble.
Wow. The home health company was really great at sending everything to Orlando. You got everything planned. I'm so happy that you prepared everything. I'm really worried about when the power goes out bc medical tools are required by power. I hope everything goes well. But it sounds that your prepared.
If you suspect you might lose power for an extended time, bye some dry ice and keep it in your freezer. If the power goes out quickly transfer your perishables to the freezer and keep the opening and closing of the freezer to a minimum. Provided you get enough dry ice, this should be able to keep the freezer unit in the mid to high 30's for several days. It won't keep your ice cream frozen, but it should work for what you need. Just make sure you don't have your face too close, and keeping Harlow out of the kitchen might be wise. If you do this your freezer compartment will fill with CO2. When you open the freezer door this CO2 will spill out and fall to the floor. You won't see it, but it will be there. The CO2 should fairly quickly mix with the are and diffuse out.
I hope that all of you - your family and you - stay safe. My Mother-In-Law is not very far away from where you are at, and is also working on an evacuation plan - she has several chronic illnesses. I am a little worried about Judd, considering how dangerous is must be for him to work in this weather. I know you will be fine, you are truly prepared, and have an amazing attitude. You may be a lot younger than I am, but can I be you, when I grow up,lol? I am proud of you. Hug your dog for me, I will hug my five rescues, as any storm makes me worried about them, even more. Blessings!
Southern Louisiana girl here, most importantly stay safe. Check out some of the solar generators/battery combos. They can be pricy but if you have a little skill you can make your own. I can run all my medical devices off it for several days, and with a solar panel I'm set if I lose power for an extended amount of time. I do have a gas generator, and my car (Prius) will charge up the batteries if need be as well. I had to set mom up with a small setup as well for her medical devices. It's an added expense but you are so right, our prepping for emergencies is a tad more complicated. And we do the same with the water, I have dedicated water storage containers that I only need to dump and refill twice a year. I'm set always for water outages. Again, thinking of you and your family.
I have a friend in Florida who got 4 2 litre water bottles before everyone else while preparing and he got punched in the face by some old guy and got his water stolen. Lucky his dad was a cop that guy was so screwed.
Harlow doesn't have to go back to kibble! There are TONS of commercial raw foods available at any small local pet stores. They are shelf stable and you just add a small amount of water to rehydrate the food. Stella & Chewy's, Primal, Vital Essentials, Sojos, and many more! I feed a brand called Ziwi Peak, which is air-dried raw and that actually doesn't need water. It's stored and served just like kibble.
Your videos always make me smile! Even when I’m throwing up a lot today :T Yes I have a tummy bug 😭 Btw hippo is sooo cute!! I loved when u made her bark Her ears are floppy and cute!
Long time watcher, first time commitment(er) Seriously didn't know and realize how much care you needed til today as I watched this video. Girl, big up to you, your hubby and hippo!! May you and all be blessed in your travels and crazy times as the storm passes by(e). Praying for all people impacted by the storm(s) 🙏🏽
Maybe get some icy pack things that go in first aid kits and things to help cool you down if the power goes out. I'm also heat intolerant and one time our power went out and those helped me a great deal. Like these things ---> www.target.com/p/instant-cold-pack-2-pk-up-up-153/-/A-14517965#lnk=sametab. Hope that helps
Where did you get that mask??? I need that my asmsa (sorry I’m bad at spelling) is really bad around smoke! Just can some give me a website or a place where I can buy one?
Jackie!!! You live right near me!!! I wish you safety during the hurricane. Even though Tampa is a safe-ish pocket I still hope you, Judd, and Harlow stay safe.
Be safe during the hurricane. I really thought it would hit Virginia we prepared too. But I hope it turns because the gulf doesn't need these hurricanes after Harvey.
If a hurricane were to hit up where I live... I would just get a load of cat food for my dog and cat.... my dog actually likes eating cat food... I would also get snacks that doesn't need to be in a fridge... I would also get a bunch of charger stuff and a car adapter so that I could plug any wall charger/ cord into the car to charge it which is a plus... I would also get a portable charger that you can charge and use to charge your phone if needed... I would buy water if I could find it... if I can not find water I will buy a load of containers that I could put it in and take with me.. i would pack my jenga game so I can play with my brother when we get bored.. I would also pack other board games.... i would pack a load of candles and a lighter... deodorant is must so I wouldn't forget that... toothbrush and toothpaste is also a must... clothing is also a must... maybe bring a few toys if you have the space(if you have kids with you this will keep them from becoming bored)... wash dishes like 1 cup per person or something to bring with you just in case.... maybe buy some waterproof bags to put electronic devices in like a Playstation 3, a wii, and etc. to keep them safe... if possible bring some household items that are very important to you.... also bring jewelry if you have any expensive ones... bring anything really expensive just incase... that adapter you might have to plug wall chargers/cords into your car can be used for a mini fridge if you need anything to be in a fridge... bring medicine incase... bring a first aid kit incase... I would also do this if a tornado was to come up to where I live...
Jaques I pray all if you will be ok. I love your vlogs. I really admire you. You have so many illnesses. I have Ptsd depression and I have panic attacks. I always wonder why i feel so sick every time I eat. You tell the doctor but they just kinda ignore it. Anyway I recently got a new puppy a chihuahua he's 12 weeks old. We have bonded very close and I want to use him as a therapy dog. I haven't had a panic attack since I got him august 20th. And I would like to see when he's a little older if he would since when I'm gonna have an asthma attack or a panic attack. The panic attacks just happen. I want to train him but I really don't know how to start and I really don't know how to train him to to be aware and let me know what's fixing to hsppen. Hes still to much a puppy wanting to play all the time. I wish I could talk with you you are so good at what you do with Harley. BTW Harley is so beautiful and smart. I love your dog. So if you could would you be willing to give me some pointers. Ty Jaquie. Love your vlogs.
Jaquie, I will be thinking about you during this storm. I enjoy watching your vlog, as I have chronic pain from several issues, so you are an inspiration to me. Let us know how you are doing and keep us updated when you are able. Stay safe. ♡
I hope you and your friends and family stay safe through this whole hurricane watch and that Irma ends up staying out in the water. I'm glad your friends will be able to help you medically should you need it. It sounds like you're pretty well set up and prepared. Update when you can.
I have recently discovered your channel, and I am in love with it. I have many things in common with you, but not as severe. I have dysautonomia (pots), visual floaters, mitochondria cell disorders, pseudo tumor celibri, chiari malformation (6 millimeters) and epilepsy (silent seizures) I am currently trying to train my dog to help me alert of these probloms, and she is a fast learner, but she has some behavioral issues. Keep up the amazing work!
you poor thing! it's already a lot of stress anticipating a hurricane, let alone all of the medical supplies you need to pack. i'm praying for all of those affected by harvey and irma!
I am glad you guys got to prep in time. I am in Orlando and it's like they told all of Orlando to panic and go frantic and EVERYTHING is gone. I was a day too late! Traffic is INSANE! Stay safe!
I heard today(Wed) that all the National Guard in Fl has been called up prayers for them all especially Judd. Jacqie please be carful and prepar for 1 wee
Irma looks like it's coming straight up now, by the time it hits Orlando it will be a cat 3. There's still time it can veer off. Hoping it misses you guys!
I know this is outdated, but.. I'm a Skywarn certified storm spotter who ironically despises severe weather. I'm from the East Coast so I've unwillingly been through hurricanes, tornadoes and a superstorms in addition to derechos as well. I say unwillingly because I wanted to evacuate but the only working vehicle was my mother's and she didn't want to evacuate at the time during these events. Now I have 3,000 miles between me and the state I'm from before making my final move internationally soon. That being said, I saw a couple flaws in your video. 1.)I told my family before I left I am never returning to where they are unless it's for a trip north for a few days or a layover from a flight. I told them if I was able they would've had their choice, I would've made mine evacuating immediately even for just a general severe storm day regardless of people there family or friends. Since you're ill, why not just book a hotel in a state where the storm won't be at all, and by that I mean any storm. 2.) Furthermore, in a hurricane hospitals aren't always reachable. So if the power went out, your supplies spoiled, and there's a flood or emergency vehicles couldn't get to you then what?
Wow jaquie.. I'm so sorry about this. Hearing about the hurricane is devastating, but I'm so happy for you guys that you are prepared. I'll be praying for everyone, specifically for you guys. I'm so sorry it's such a trouble for you guys, but hopefully you do not run into any major troubles. Keep us updated lovely. Praying for you
I need a caregiver because I can do very little for myself but I always keep moving forward. :-) I used to live there. Heat is the same issue for me as well. Whenever we had a hurricane coming we always fill the bathtub with water after the bathtub was cleaned well with vinegar and baking soda. Some people used buckets and fill them at home with their tap water ahead of the hurricane. I remember when there was no such thing as bottled water. Don't judge me. LOL
Fill up your bathtub with water and put ziploc bags of water in any open space in the freezer. It'll keep things colder longer if the power does go out but will also give you extra water when it melts! I live in the same area as you and preparing the same way! Stay safe!
God Bless y'all. Be safe. Please video when you can..prayers for you and all your family and friends. We love you and worry about y'all. Harlow take care of your family and yourself. Love y'all. Prayers. Stay safe and so many people love you and your family🐶🐶🐶🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘😘😄🌷💐🌷🌀🌈🍧🍡🍬🍉🌽💝💝best oh luck to y'all....HUGS
I know it's been about six hours since this was uploaded, but if you can Amazon Prime or afford overnight shipping, look into buying a water filter like the Platypus Gravity Feed (expensive but well worth it), Sawyer Squeeze (can filter 100,000 litres but has slow flow rate), or Katadyn (doesn't work too great with dirty water, short working life). Also, maybe look into a chemical treatment like Aquamira or Portable Water. The filters will help clean the water very well, and the chemical treatments will get rid of any and all leftover grossness that could be harmful (if the filters somehow missed it). Of course, these are backups to stockpiles of perfect water, but will be EXTREMELY helpful in the case you run out.
We live where it was considered Zone A evacuation. S.W. Coastal. S.E. Cape Coral FL. I now realize you live in the Tampa Bay area. Love it there. 😉 just wanted to know names and locations of all your doctors and who gave you all your true current diagnosis. I think I remember hearing you say Mayo clinic. My G. I. Is sending me to Mayo around 2nd week of February? Sorry it seems like I don't remember anything, but I have cognitive disorder and possibly early onset dementia (genetic). Anyways yes, just seems like you have an amazing medical team! I'm super interested in your info. I am suffering from almost all of the same illnesses and disabilities. Some different and some effects different. Also I'm a lot older and have had other factors, allergies, ext. Well I'll continue watching you. Love to hear from you soon.
If you have to do kibble (which is obviously the best option right now), try Stella & Chewy's new baked kibble! Because it's baked instead of extruded, it leaves more nutrients intact and doesn't force the body to use ALL those carbs! It's 70% meat and coated in freeze-dried raw! So it's not such a huge step back, like it would to a kibble like TOTW. It should be available at local independent pet stores!! It's a great food!
And here I was thinking that I knew abit about indepth and detailed prepping... I know you've probably heard/read this countless times... So... I won't add to clutter in your intray by gushing at you about how amazing you are... but wow!... It reminds me of some of my mother's requirements for her care... And a little like when we were looking after our daughter when she was really really young... Did I say that I wouldn't tell you how amazing you are...good.. I'd hate to have to go back on that score... Clear thinking, Pre-planning, Positive attitude and keeping to the beat... A one and a two and a... "There is nor flying hence nor tarrying here!"
Okay so I'm new to this channel... I'm gonna make a few questions I hope someone please answer those question thanks😊 1. What type of illness do you have? 2. It's that a service dog? How does he help you? 3. What type pf treatment do you have? And how does it works? Thanks for answer me this questions❤️
Please stay safe, I love you guys. STAY SAFE! You can replace your home, but not yourself, and you sure as heck can't replace Harlo. If they tell you to evacuate Orlando, do it. If you stay it will be a danger to you, and Harlo, and Judd. And can you picture living in a world where their not with you?
12:01 "A dog! A Dog! A Dog! Please can I-"
*Mum mumbles something, couldn't quite hear, probably about how it's a working dog*
"Awwwwww!"
Kitakaze1chi #lifeofaservicedoghandler
How did you hear that? lol
Wow, you have good ears, haha! Even when I replayed it I couldn't make that out!
The ears of a god
I could barely hear that!!
I'm glad you have hippo by your side Jaquie☺ I lost my service dog a couple of weeks ago😢🐶 I miss him so much and I hope I'll get a new one soon even tho it won't replace my Pluto.
Cajsa Mörk I'm so sorry
Cajsa Mork, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that God brings you a new service dog very very soon.
I’m sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻😔💓
I am so sorry for your loss
Cajsa Mörk I'm so sorry for your loss! I cannot imagine the feelings you have. Our sweetheart is 14.5 years old now, and cannot imagine a day without her. Big hug from us!
I have never seen a dog so unwilling to bark lol
I wish my Chihuahua would learn from Har, lol
EROR my dog is like that it's so weird
EROR my dog would never bark, until she lived with another dog that barks All the time 😂😂
EROR OMG!! SAME!!
She is a service dog and is trained to not bark
Hi y’all! Judd and I are a bit busy today, so I may not be able to reply to comments. Here is some extra info on today’s vlog:
We are doing okay! We honestly are well stocked on supplies, but are still on the lookout for extra essentials if we are able to find them. Can never have enough! We also have a few tricks for water (filling large bins/cleaning and bleaching trashcans to fill and boiling water, etc).
Har is going back on the kibble she ate before starting a raw diet: Taste of the Wild Salmon Formula. The dogs are also accommodated in regards to supplies.
Why do I live in FL with the heat? Our life is here, our family is here, my in state tuition is here, and Judd’s career is here.
Why am I not staying with my parents? Well, my mom is going with my dad to care for him (he is a stroke survivor). Caring for him and me during a hurricane is too much to ask of her. (Remember, Judd most likely will not be with us, he will most likely be working.) My dad has close family friends he wants to be with, and Paul/Janiece’s house cannot accommodate all those people.

Chronically Jaquie I was reading that you can fill empty (and clean) bottles of all sorts with tap water (if it's ok to drink) as well as filling Tupperware with water and freezing it to have for the pups and cleaning water as well as filling the bathtub to the brim with water for toilet flushing and cleaning. Toilet paper and Kleenex are staples too

I am so nervous for you guys. All of the people in Florida as well. Please be safe. Living in eastern Canada I have never experienced a hurricane or any extreme weather really. I would be absolutely terrified! Maybe it will swing around and head out into the atlantic. I pray God will keep you and yours safe. i totally agree with you about supplies Jacquie. It is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. My thoughts and prayers are with you on this coming adventure. Be safe, love to all.
frances D same thing from me in south east Maine

Hi Jaquie, I just had a thought......I know you have probably already accounted for this, but just in case, don't forget extra water for all of the furbabies.
I'll be praying for you. I live in Australia and I can't imagine what you are all going through, it must be scary.
Stay safe. 🙏🏼💕
Gillian Miller i am in australia. Which state
Mountain Ash Girl I'm from Canberra.......how about you?
I live in Australia too!
Gillian Miller Melbourne for me, but i loved Canberra when i went!!
What about keeping some instant ice packs on hand if you get too hot?
I have been feeding raw for over 8 years. I also work at a holistic vet. We always recommend to have some freeze dried raw food on hand just in case.
There is no issues with tummy upset switching.
There is a number of different brands, it's light, it last for years. It is pricy but we only use it for travel or emergency situations.
Here is a couple of brands I trust I have fed in the past that you can get in your state, but I am sure there are others.

I think you should mix some kibble in with her raw food so she can transition better and it won't be a shock to her system.
frances D
Raw and kibble digest differently so it's not good for dogs stomachs.
frances D your not suppost to do that tho
frances D yea it’s really not good to mix the two and dogs actually transition easier if it’s done like a straight swap, of corse when feeding a commercial pet food and changing brands without transitioning slowly can give the dog an upset stomach but that’s because digesting that food is so taxing on their bodies raw food isn’t. I’ve fed raw to my 3 for years now and it’s always so great to see other owners doing the same. 👍

Hi Jaquie,
If your pump runs out of battery, do you have tubing like IV tubing with a drip chamber to run your feeds by gravity and drops per min?
I love your courage and love that you are spreading awareness! I hope Judd, Harlow and yourself stay safe during this storm. Is your home health company going to deliver alittle extra ahead of the storm, just in case?
forgottenpixel she says their gonna deliver but not about if they are gonna supply more than usual.
Mallory Lynn she said that she'll be bringing extra supplies with her, ontop of the regular order going to Paul and Janices ! :)
Freezer dried or dehydrated dog food can be an alternative to kibble :)
Please make sure y’all unplug everything before y’all leave ❤️ Stay super safe, guys ❤️
My friend in Tampa is also evacuating to Orlando. Hope you make it safe. ❤️
Just wanted to add that my mom had a battery operated nebulizer for power outages. Maybe you could get one in the future. It also came with a car charger.
All my hope and prayers go out to you and the people who are going to be affected by the hurricane
you could do a gradual transition from raw to kibble :) you are so diligent in taking care of your health. I admire you so much and thanks for spreading awareness
I love the Not Your Mother's line, first thing I used was the dry shampoo. Glad someone else likes it as much as I do, my SO doesn't really like the smell of it though hahaha
Sometimes I feel like Harlow is smarter than me 😂
Wow... What if Dogs do have bad hair day's
= MIND BLOWN
Hey have you looked into a power hookup for your car or juds truck it plugs into the cigarette lighter and you could use it for your nebulizer
Awe kibble... do you think she'll even eat it? After I switch my pups to raw they turn their nose up to kibble 😂
Maria Theresa I hope she does! Or she'll go hungry!
Ugh, it broke my heart to hear that! It can actually screw up their digestive system switching back and forth to kibble & raw, especially if the pup's been eating only raw for an extended period of time. Totally get its hard circumstances, but personally id choose to feed my pup fruits & veggies (or even what im eating if acceptable for dogs) over kibble.
I just happened to be online when you uploaded. Glad I saw this 😊
Wow. The home health company was really great at sending everything to Orlando. You got everything planned. I'm so happy that you prepared everything. I'm really worried about when the power goes out bc medical tools are required by power. I hope everything goes well. But it sounds that your prepared.
If you suspect you might lose power for an extended time, bye some dry ice and keep it in your freezer. If the power goes out quickly transfer your perishables to the freezer and keep the opening and closing of the freezer to a minimum.
Provided you get enough dry ice, this should be able to keep the freezer unit in the mid to high 30's for several days. It won't keep your ice cream frozen, but it should work for what you need.
Just make sure you don't have your face too close, and keeping Harlow out of the kitchen might be wise. If you do this your freezer compartment will fill with CO2. When you open the freezer door this CO2 will spill out and fall to the floor. You won't see it, but it will be there. The CO2 should fairly quickly mix with the are and diffuse out.
I hope that all of you - your family and you - stay safe. My Mother-In-Law is not very far away from where you are at, and is also working on an evacuation plan - she has several chronic illnesses. I am a little worried about Judd, considering how dangerous is must be for him to work in this weather. I know you will be fine, you are truly prepared, and have an amazing attitude. You may be a lot younger than I am, but can I be you, when I grow up,lol? I am proud of you. Hug your dog for me, I will hug my five rescues, as any storm makes me worried about them, even more. Blessings!
Just in case maybe you can get life jackets for you and Harlow.
Southern Louisiana girl here, most importantly stay safe. Check out some of the solar generators/battery combos. They can be pricy but if you have a little skill you can make your own. I can run all my medical devices off it for several days, and with a solar panel I'm set if I lose power for an extended amount of time. I do have a gas generator, and my car (Prius) will charge up the batteries if need be as well. I had to set mom up with a small setup as well for her medical devices. It's an added expense but you are so right, our prepping for emergencies is a tad more complicated. And we do the same with the water, I have dedicated water storage containers that I only need to dump and refill twice a year. I'm set always for water outages. Again, thinking of you and your family.
At least all the things you have to bring are portable. You are super organized. Come to think of it, I guess you would have to be.
Ps I was saying prepare for 2 weeks look how long Texas has been without power. I live in NW Ga if y'all need a place to go.
Will you still be doing your vlogs while this is going on?
Jessica Wilson she said she would but if the power goes out then she might not be able to post it
God bless you, Judd, Harlow, Paul, and Janice and Orion!
Praying for you and hoping for the best
I have a friend in Florida who got 4 2 litre water bottles before everyone else while preparing and he got punched in the face by some old guy and got his water stolen. Lucky his dad was a cop that guy was so screwed.
Harlow doesn't have to go back to kibble! There are TONS of commercial raw foods available at any small local pet stores. They are shelf stable and you just add a small amount of water to rehydrate the food. Stella & Chewy's, Primal, Vital Essentials, Sojos, and many more! I feed a brand called Ziwi Peak, which is air-dried raw and that actually doesn't need water. It's stored and served just like kibble.
I just want you to know that i am thinking of you and your family at this time of impending emergency x
Praying for your safe travels!!
I always come home and watch your videos after a long day at school, they're so calming.
Best of luck to all in Florida. I will be praying for you. LETS send Irma to the middle of the Atlantic where no one will get hurt!
Your videos always make me smile! Even when I’m throwing up a lot today :T
Yes I have a tummy bug 😭
Btw hippo is sooo cute!!
I loved when u made her bark Her ears are floppy and cute!
If you can afford it, I definitely recommend Spot Farms! It's human grade and you just add water to rehydrate and you have a easy healthy meal :)
Meanwhile in tornado heavy areas, no one gets warning. It’s just “get downstairs and try not to take a ride on a tornado”.
Long time watcher, first time commitment(er)
Seriously didn't know and realize how much care you needed til today as I watched this video. Girl, big up to you, your hubby and hippo!! May you and all be blessed in your travels and crazy times as the storm passes by(e). Praying for all people impacted by the storm(s) 🙏🏽
Maybe get some icy pack things that go in first aid kits and things to help cool you down if the power goes out. I'm also heat intolerant and one time our power went out and those helped me a great deal. Like these things ---> www.target.com/p/instant-cold-pack-2-pk-up-up-153/-/A-14517965#lnk=sametab. Hope that helps
Jaquie, Amazon over an inverter to Paul & Janices! That way you can use the car cigarette lighter to power the wall plug devices.
HealthyishGal What if the car floods though... Really dangerous to be out anyway.
I love watching Harlow working and especially her focus she does such a wonderful job !!
you could get some freeze dried raw diet food. this website is my favorite: www.stevesrealfood.com/products/freeze-dry-cat-dog-food/
I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers 💜🙏🏻
Where did you get that mask??? I need that my asmsa (sorry I’m bad at spelling) is really bad around smoke! Just can some give me a website or a place where I can buy one?
Amazon carries them. I just picked up two for my asthma as well.
Oh man, I am wearing those exact same leggings today 😂💜💜
Jackie!!! You live right near me!!! I wish you safety during the hurricane. Even though Tampa is a safe-ish pocket I still hope you, Judd, and Harlow stay safe.
Do you check in with the hospital in a case like if the power outage ?
I hope that you can be safe😣😵😳😮😲😱😟😰😯😥
Your mom definitely needs her tea. 😂 I hope you and everyone else is safe!
Be safe during the hurricane. I really thought it would hit Virginia we prepared too. But I hope it turns because the gulf doesn't need these hurricanes after Harvey.
I'm going to be right in the eye of the hurricane....
AznStarzflyz take care.
If a hurricane were to hit up where I live... I would just get a load of cat food for my dog and cat.... my dog actually likes eating cat food... I would also get snacks that doesn't need to be in a fridge... I would also get a bunch of charger stuff and a car adapter so that I could plug any wall charger/ cord into the car to charge it which is a plus... I would also get a portable charger that you can charge and use to charge your phone if needed... I would buy water if I could find it... if I can not find water I will buy a load of containers that I could put it in and take with me.. i would pack my jenga game so I can play with my brother when we get bored.. I would also pack other board games.... i would pack a load of candles and a lighter... deodorant is must so I wouldn't forget that... toothbrush and toothpaste is also a must... clothing is also a must... maybe bring a few toys if you have the space(if you have kids with you this will keep them from becoming bored)... wash dishes like 1 cup per person or something to bring with you just in case.... maybe buy some waterproof bags to put electronic devices in like a Playstation 3, a wii, and etc. to keep them safe... if possible bring some household items that are very important to you.... also bring jewelry if you have any expensive ones... bring anything really expensive just incase... that adapter you might have to plug wall chargers/cords into your car can be used for a mini fridge if you need anything to be in a fridge... bring medicine incase... bring a first aid kit incase...
I would also do this if a tornado was to come up to where I live...
Be safe!
Thank you, Jaquie!
We miss you Jaquie😔❤️
Jaques I pray all if you will be ok. I love your vlogs. I really admire you. You have so many illnesses. I have Ptsd depression and I have panic attacks. I always wonder why i feel so sick every time I eat. You tell the doctor but they just kinda ignore it. Anyway I recently got a new puppy a chihuahua he's 12 weeks old. We have bonded very close and I want to use him as a therapy dog. I haven't had a panic attack since I got him august 20th. And I would like to see when he's a little older if he would since when I'm gonna have an asthma attack or a panic attack. The panic attacks just happen. I want to train him but I really don't know how to start and I really don't know how to train him to to be aware and let me know what's fixing to hsppen. Hes still to much a puppy wanting to play all the time. I wish I could talk with you you are so good at what you do with Harley. BTW Harley is so beautiful and smart. I love your dog. So if you could would you be willing to give me some pointers. Ty Jaquie. Love your vlogs.
Jaquie, I will be thinking about you during this storm. I enjoy watching your vlog, as I have chronic pain from several issues, so you are an inspiration to me. Let us know how you are doing and keep us updated when you are able. Stay safe. ♡
Your so pretty and your dog looks like my dog
I hope you and your friends and family stay safe through this whole hurricane watch and that Irma ends up staying out in the water. I'm glad your friends will be able to help you medically should you need it. It sounds like you're pretty well set up and prepared. Update when you can.
She should write a book who agrees!?
We will be praying for you!!
I have recently discovered your channel, and I am in love with it. I have many things in common with you, but not as severe. I have dysautonomia (pots), visual floaters, mitochondria cell disorders, pseudo tumor celibri, chiari malformation (6 millimeters) and epilepsy (silent seizures) I am currently trying to train my dog to help me alert of these probloms, and she is a fast learner, but she has some behavioral issues. Keep up the amazing work!
you poor thing! it's already a lot of stress anticipating a hurricane, let alone all of the medical supplies you need to pack. i'm praying for all of those affected by harvey and irma!
Oh my! Stay safe in this hurricane! I'm praying for y'all! ❤️❤️
I am glad you guys got to prep in time. I am in Orlando and it's like they told all of Orlando to panic and go frantic and EVERYTHING is gone. I was a day too late! Traffic is INSANE! Stay safe!
I heard today(Wed) that all the National Guard in Fl has been called up prayers for them all especially Judd. Jacqie please be carful and prepar for 1 wee
Best wishes Jacquie! It's amazing the support your friends and you show each other
Stay safe! I'm in Orlando so I totally feel you. Keep safe everyone else who's going to be affected!
In case your followers dont know, you can get 30 day supply for your meds from your doctor for emergency situations.
Irma looks like it's coming straight up now, by the time it hits Orlando it will be a cat 3. There's still time it can veer off. Hoping it misses you guys!
I know this is outdated, but.. I'm a Skywarn certified storm spotter who ironically despises severe weather. I'm from the East Coast so I've unwillingly been through hurricanes, tornadoes and a superstorms in addition to derechos as well. I say unwillingly because I wanted to evacuate but the only working vehicle was my mother's and she didn't want to evacuate at the time during these events. Now I have 3,000 miles between me and the state I'm from before making my final move internationally soon. That being said, I saw a couple flaws in your video.
1.)I told my family before I left I am never returning to where they are unless it's for a trip north for a few days or a layover from a flight. I told them if I was able they would've had their choice, I would've made mine evacuating immediately even for just a general severe storm day regardless of people there family or friends. Since you're ill, why not just book a hotel in a state where the storm won't be at all, and by that I mean any storm.
2.) Furthermore, in a hurricane hospitals aren't always reachable. So if the power went out, your supplies spoiled, and there's a flood or emergency vehicles couldn't get to you then what?
RIP Jaquie. Still can't believe you're gone. I hope your husband and Harlow have been able to find some peace.
Keeping y'all in my prayers! Glad you'll be with friends during the hurricane.
hope that you hudd and harlow are ok
Stay safe. I'm glad your prepared.
I'm in the tampa area and im going over to sarasota. i know its not that far but eh
Hope you are safe and it dose not get you bad
Wow jaquie.. I'm so sorry about this. Hearing about the hurricane is devastating, but I'm so happy for you guys that you are prepared. I'll be praying for everyone, specifically for you guys. I'm so sorry it's such a trouble for you guys, but hopefully you do not run into any major troubles. Keep us updated lovely. Praying for you
Hope you guys stay safe during the storm! Your always welcome in Georgia!
So lucky I live in Melbourne, never ever natural disasters here. Be safe mate.
Stay safe. I live in stuart fl. Don't know if staying in my house r evacuating.
Praying for your safety from this storm! My sister lives in Florida and is probably gonna have to evacuate.
I need a caregiver because I can do very little for myself but I always keep moving forward. :-) I used to live there. Heat is the same issue for me as well. Whenever we had a hurricane coming we always fill the bathtub with water after the bathtub was cleaned well with vinegar and baking soda. Some people used buckets and fill them at home with their tap water ahead of the hurricane. I remember when there was no such thing as bottled water. Don't judge me. LOL
Be safe you guys!
Fill up your bathtub with water and put ziploc bags of water in any open space in the freezer. It'll keep things colder longer if the power does go out but will also give you extra water when it melts! I live in the same area as you and preparing the same way! Stay safe!
God Bless y'all. Be safe. Please video when you can..prayers for you and all your family and friends. We love you and worry about y'all. Harlow take care of your family and yourself. Love y'all. Prayers. Stay safe and so many people love you and your family🐶🐶🐶🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘😘😄🌷💐🌷🌀🌈🍧🍡🍬🍉🌽💝💝best oh luck to y'all....HUGS
I know it's been about six hours since this was uploaded, but if you can Amazon Prime or afford overnight shipping, look into buying a water filter like the Platypus Gravity Feed (expensive but well worth it), Sawyer Squeeze (can filter 100,000 litres but has slow flow rate), or Katadyn (doesn't work too great with dirty water, short working life). Also, maybe look into a chemical treatment like Aquamira or Portable Water. The filters will help clean the water very well, and the chemical treatments will get rid of any and all leftover grossness that could be harmful (if the filters somehow missed it). Of course, these are backups to stockpiles of perfect water, but will be EXTREMELY helpful in the case you run out.
We live where it was considered Zone A evacuation. S.W. Coastal. S.E. Cape Coral FL. I now realize you live in the Tampa Bay area. Love it there. 😉 just wanted to know names and locations of all your doctors and who gave you all your true current diagnosis. I think I remember hearing you say Mayo clinic. My G. I. Is sending me to Mayo around 2nd week of February? Sorry it seems like I don't remember anything, but I have cognitive disorder and possibly early onset dementia (genetic). Anyways yes, just seems like you have an amazing medical team! I'm super interested in your info. I am suffering from almost all of the same illnesses and disabilities. Some different and some effects different. Also I'm a lot older and have had other factors, allergies, ext. Well I'll continue watching you. Love to hear from you soon.
If you have to do kibble (which is obviously the best option right now), try Stella & Chewy's new baked kibble! Because it's baked instead of extruded, it leaves more nutrients intact and doesn't force the body to use ALL those carbs! It's 70% meat and coated in freeze-dried raw! So it's not such a huge step back, like it would to a kibble like TOTW. It should be available at local independent pet stores!! It's a great food!
And here I was thinking that I knew abit about indepth and detailed prepping... I know you've probably heard/read this countless times... So... I won't add to clutter in your intray by gushing at you about how amazing you are... but wow!... It reminds me of some of my mother's requirements for her care... And a little like when we were looking after our daughter when she was really really young... Did I say that I wouldn't tell you how amazing you are...good.. I'd hate to have to go back on that score... Clear thinking, Pre-planning, Positive attitude and keeping to the beat... A one and a two and a... "There is nor flying hence nor tarrying here!"
Okay so I'm new to this channel... I'm gonna make a few questions I hope someone please answer those question thanks😊
1. What type of illness do you have?
2. It's that a service dog? How does he help you?
3. What type pf treatment do you have? And how does it works?
Thanks for answer me this questions❤️
Please stay safe, I love you guys. STAY SAFE! You can replace your home, but not yourself, and you sure as heck can't replace Harlo. If they tell you to evacuate Orlando, do it. If you stay it will be a danger to you, and Harlo, and Judd. And can you picture living in a world where their not with you?
Jaquie! I hope you will be OK! Stay safe and I hope everything turns out ok!
