During the 2004 Hurricane season, I was deployed with the State of Florida Disaster Reserves from August
16th until December 24th.
I didn't have Angel with me at first, as it was much too dangerous and sleeping arrangements were hard enough
without a dog!
When I returned home to St. Pete to vote on November 2nd, I decided to bring her with me when I re-deployed.
Conditions in the field had improved and I was feeling really guilty for being away for so long.
Angel was with me in St. Lucie, Dixie, Alachua, Gilchrist and Levy counties. It was a joy to have her with
me, she loved it, and my co-workers found her a welcome enjoyment during a very difficult emotional time.
