at 1:45 today, southern Ontario and western Quebec experienced a 5.5 earthquake … sure, not much by California standards … but it sure rocked the scruffy dog studio and certainly had me wondering if i’d had one coffee too many this morning!
as for the scruffies (and scraggly cat) … it was business as usual …
i seriously must work these guys too hard.

OMG so that’s what it really was!! I thought, no, no, it couldn’t have been…
I felt it too! I thought it was just Autumn scratching herself at first (which can also be a house rumbler!)…but then it sort of just kept going and got more intense! She was surprisingly calm during the whole ordeal, the kitties were poofed up though!
When Summer scrabbled to me, I thought she heard a crack of thunder that I missed somehow, but then I saw the ceiling/walls/windows shaking and thought a tree fell on the house or something. That was the longest earthquake that I’ve experienced.
I just heard about it, went to the Internet to find out more, and there was your post! I’m glad everyone is all right. But hey, I always thought that dogs and cats were supposed to have this uncanny sense about earthquakes far in advance?! I guess yours slept right through it.
when i felt the first rumble i thought matea was standing behind my office stair, leaning as she normally does when she wants out or wants food … then i looked over and saw all three beasts fast asleep, and was like: “wha?!”
the rumbling had stopped, then started again … that’s when i started to wonder if i’d taken too much caffeine this morning. finally googled …
We felt it – I was at work and it was surreal. crazy! earthquakes in Ontario – who knew??!
I thought earthquakes shook you up…did you drug these guys or what?
