During the hurricane,I was in Metairie.After Katrina passed,we tried everyway to get to New Orleans,\r\nto see if I could\'ve got my two dogs.Though we tried every way to get to our house on Chefmentur Highway\r\nbut we couldn\'t get there but a month later[After Katrina]we found a way to get over there.There was Police every where,but we kinda had to sneak inside our area,and we finally got there,and I found my two dogs.As soon as I saw my house,I ran inside,EVERYTHING was stolen,the doors and windows were open.I started crying.My dogs were skinny,and it looked as if they got into a fight.There was at least 20 dogs that were on the street.I was really scared when I saw a Rottweiler.We heard some shooting about five blocks away.Now six months later\r\nI live in Metairie and my mom lives in Slidell,and unfortunately,my smallest dog died from drinking the water from the levees.
