It's weird but I live in the NW Phoenix area and last night about 12:30 am my dog woke me up all upset and pawing at me. He's never done it before and I took him out just in case he had to "go". He didn't, he just walked around all excited and we came in and went back to sleep.

I know I'm far away from the New Madrid, but he's NEVER done this before.

I was in the big quake in the valley of L.A. in the early 90's. I was in Santa Monica on Hill St. and the houses around me collapsed. I had to jump out of bed and hold the bedroom door from slamming back and forth and ruining the wall. When the shaking stopped I had a flashlight and looked at my German Shepard on her bed and my cat on mine and they just laid there looking at me like I was crazy and went back to sleep. Totally not affected by all the shaking and noise. Every car alarm in the city was going off.

Sometimes animals sense things and sometimes they don't. Even though I'm this far away, because of my male boxer's actions last night I'm kinda intrigued.
