Sending positive thoughts for Callie that her blood work returns good news.

Waiting is hard.

Thank you. Waiting is hard I'm not very good at it. I am about to leave for a doctors appointment and my grandpa who normally watches Callie when I have an appointment is watching her today so I just gave him a long list of things to watch for and stuff I hate leaving her today but he is pretty grate with her. I even made sure he knew how to put her harness on incase something happens.

I am in Southern NH and we felt the earthquake. Obviously it was WAY less impact here, no damage or anything, but we felt our building shake for about 30 seconds! It was the 2nd earthquake Ive felt in my life. The last one I felt was one that hit upstate NY or PA (can't remember) about 10 years ago. Its such a strange feeling!

We had a 4.5 magnitude aftershock at about 2 am.

Lots of damage down in Mineral, VA, the epicenter. Cracks in the Washington Monument.

We were there right in DC when it happened, I havent been since I was little, and my DH, and 2 older sons (23 and 28) were in the American History Museum and the whole building started shaking up and down, luckly we were on the first floor and got out soon, Some people thought it was a bomb and others scared because of 9/11 after thoughts. Everyone was out on the Mall, they said the animals at the National Zoo knew about it before, the keepers were all wondering why they were acting so strange, the monkeys all huddled together! Then we watched the helicopter fly around the Washington Monument all afternoon going up and down. Well it was ONE unforgetable trip to DC anyways!

My older son is getting married down there in Bethesda in April so will be back many times I'm sure! Fol all of you that live down that way....It's so beautiful and everyone was so pleasant! All I could think of was my little furbabies up here in MA with my daughter! Tinks HATES thunder...I wonder how she did with this! Stay safe everyone! We've got a bad storm now headed up the coast!

That is an unforgettable trip! If I had been in DC, I would have been thinking about 9/11 too when everything started rumbling. We are to the south and it sounded like explosions as the earthquake approached.

How cute that the monkeys huddled together. I'm really surprised my pups didn't have any sense of it coming.

Congratulations to your son. I hope we don't have anything "exciting" going on the day of his wedding.

That's amazing, it's so funny how many people think animals can't feel anything! They may be smarter than us! lol!

Also Thanks Kristin..........Guess all our trips to the DC area will be exciting! lol! I wanted to dress the little furbabies up and have them walk down the aisle, but my son and finace didnt like that idea as much!
