if you have 3 dogs, you may not be able to take them all. if it looked like things were going downhill, you may have time to decide to euthanize them before TSHTF fully. I have a yorkie, if things look like they are going downhill fast, I will have him euthanized. I dont think I could handle severe crisis and having to deal with him as well. but I will have to see...i would never turn him loose to die on the streets. a cat can survive, a yorkie? no way...
