She couldn't run out of the kitchen bc I had a child gate blocking the exit but it was on the floor flat & she couldn't go over that either...I think she wanted to go in the dining room, under the table. That's where I found Princess.
I can't remember if they were acting strange b4 the earthquake, I had just fed them their supper & they were begging for the food as I prepared it like any other day.
Loll same here, I think they were more scared bc of me, bc I screamed. Whenever I touched Turbo, he started hyperventilating & shaking & when I removed my hand, he stopped. |
If ya'll weren't at home when the quake struck, that probably made the dogs more uncertain of everything, poor babies. I'm just so glad Mimi didn't get cut by broken glass or things falling from the kitchen cabinets! I'll bet you were scared to find out once you realized she was in there.
I just saw a news break that showed some footage of quake damage and saw a terribly messed up bedroom from the quake area - drawers all flung open and some tall furniture turned over, stuff everywhere it didn't belong. That room was a mess! Then they showed some damage to foundations of homes. I didn't realize until today how damaging it was to some. That would be so awful to just be sitting calmly in nice weather and things start moving and crashing all around you, including the home or building you are in, and you don't know which way to go or how severe it's going to be. I've heard over TV these last few years that standing under a supported area inside is suppose to be safer than running outside but how in the world one suppresses the urge to bolt outside with the dog(s) and family, IDK! Just so glad nobody or animals seem to have been seriously injured but, oh my, your peace of mind has probably been shattered for a while.
