Daniel had made a delicious salted popcorn with smoked dry hot pepper and we were talking about our country´s news. He is going to the protests and I cannot hold him. I can only say to take care.
And suddenly the earth began to tremble and there were loud noises. I ran.
Daniel stood there, not understanding anything. He has been out of the country for too long.
Finally he went to the garden where I was and was attacked by Luna. I had to go inside to get the cane I show Luna to tell her to quiet down.
Now I´m i bed, peacefully mylotting, Daniel went to the protest and a stupid dove entered Luna´s domains. I will not do anything about it. But Luna is not minding her for the moment.
6.1 Richter is a very mean quake!

Luna is very protective of you just like our dogs here.

@Alexandoy some bark but not many. They are more used to them than me.

@rebelann I don´t even feel them when they are little. There are several little earthquakes here each month.

She is not like that usually. She is used to him. I think that she sensed that I was afraid of something and she reacted.

@JudyEv This one was very noisy and dogs have wonderful abilities for hearing.

@marguicha That makes sense. Maybe the earthquake upset her a bit too.

Thank God that you all are safe.
Daniel is a youth and they have a mind of their own. He must have his own reasons to back these protests. Yes he has to try to be safe. It's natural for you to be concerned.

I would be in the protests too, if I was his age. I would be with the pacific protests with over a million people only in the capital.

@arunima25 I hope so. I feel as if I were in the middle of a war.

I hope so. I suppose that if I were his age, I would also protest. I did protest when Pinochet was a dictator here. I hoped that democracy would be a solution to the needs of the population. But politicians did not do their job well. We have the means to live well but the wealth is in the hands of a few.

6.1 is quite nasty. I'm glad you're OK. The most I've experienced was a 5.0.

It was called medium to big in the mews. Enough to be scared, but not enough to cause mayor damages.

We have many in Chile. But this was a scary one. Just enough to be afraid though.
