We have several relative that live in SoCal and I know they all have supplies put together in case of emergency. |
I have supplies. Especially water. What I'm afraid of is Kaji's reaction to something completely foreign to our everyday life. I guess earthquakes are harder to plan for since they are so unpredictable. The weather changes for everything else hinting each family to prepare. How to I prepare for keeping Kaji calm during or after an earthquake when I'll be scrambling myself. I don't know why I'm so scared!

In AZ we haven’t had earthquakes or tornadoes, but today it was 118, and my eyeballs are sweating.
I think the most important thing to have in an emergency is drinkable water. You can life quite a while without food, but not so long without water. You sound like you're better prepared than most, I guess I would be most scared of being split up, do you have a harness with tags handy or does Kaji have a microchip? Don't worry about the dream, you mind just took the sounds it heard and made sense of it. |
Kaji is microchiped, so that's a relief. But I think I'll feel better if I can organize his collars and harnesses. I wish I had a job so I can buy tags for everything. He has been wearing his collar with tags since he comes to school with me. (we're going to summer school
) Usually, he wears a collar with a bell only when he is home. I only use the other collars (I have 2) that have all his information.
