Giant panda grabs cop after quake, terrified giant panda

1. Ahh, that makes me feel so bad for the animals...

that are left terrified and terrorized. Finding comfort from the nearest human is pretty endearing, though, I must say. ;)

3. When we have a quake, the not so friendly Nanday

needs me to seat by him until he calms down. So I get it.

5. our kitties crawl under the covers

and then slink around the baseboards for a pretty long time.

6. My doggy girl is so terrified of thunder, that she begins to react...

with the first hint of winds picking up or the sky darkening. Full adrenaline/noradrenaline/cortisol reaction with dilated pupils panting, trembling and inconsolable fear. I don't even want to contemplate what fear she would experience in an earthquake.

Like SoCalDem, I have tried not to think of these poor animals who likely perished along with so many humans. It is so painful and heart-breaking to think there was nothing their humans could do for them.

8. Does your vet prescribe anything for poor doggie?

Our our 80 # dog gets vet prescribed Valium, and it takes 20 mg. to calm him down during our infamously loud and frequent house rattling thunderstorms. Otherwise he tries to squeeze under the puter desk,
which is not big enough for half of him.
In a pinch, 50 mg of Benedryl will work.

10. I've used any number of tranquilizing drugs in the past...

She has too many emerging health issues to safely use them now and frankly they never worked that well.

14. Whenever my Chihuahua hears thunder,

she hides behind the couch, but nothing else frightens her. She is fearless otherwise and will attack any human who enters the house. But of course, that is a Chihuahua's nature.

4. I forced myself to NOT think about all those precious pets who perished

in apartments , houses & animal hospitals:cry:

2. Poor baby.. He was probably raised by humans

and ran for comfort to the first human he saw :hug:

7. this is so sad. n/t

[RSillsbee]

9. If you think about it it's not sad

Because he/she got the comfort he/she was looking for. think of the wild animals that had nothing to seek for comfort that's sad

11. (sigh)

Something's wrong with my computer screen. It's all blurry.
:cry:

13. Reminds me of the Nissan/Polar Bear commercial

... only more poignant.

15. Oh...
