Pets feel Earthquakes First

With the earthquake in Japan, I am reminded of the one earthquake I have been in.  Actually, I was not home with the dogs, but hubby David was.  It hit in the early afternoon.  He was working at home in his office when our miniature schnauzers  Kaiser and Alexa started behaving oddly.  They seemed very nervous and he could not quiet them.  David was getting concerned because they never acted that way before.  After about three-four minutes of this, the earthquake hit.  It was a 7.9 about 20 miles away (epicenter) and about 10 miles below ground.

The dogs had felt it long before the house shook or any person felt it.  Amazing powers.  I thought about Kaiser and Alexa.  They are gone, but certainly not forgotten and are still loved.
