Earthquake!

Seriously?  You know how animals are supposed to have a sixth sense about this kind of thing?  Hazel proved herself totally useless on this front this morning, but Ben and I definitely did wake up with the rumbling.  I was worried that one of the dead tree limbs fell on the roof or something, the way the house shook.  BUT it turns out it was merely an earthquake.  Odd.

An answer

To the question “What kind of dog is that?”

She’s a Madagascar Lemur Hound.  A relative of the Norwegian Elk Hound, during colonial times these dogs were brought to Madagascar to control the booming lemur population and make it possible for British imperialists to pillage and disseminate Christianity more freely.  Bred for strength, cunning, and loyalty, the Madagascar Lemur Hound has an impressive gait and stature.
