I made a big mistake this morning: with my phone beside the dog food bowls I played a podcast episode while I organised food. Sasha got a fit of the terrors. She was looking up and around, shaking, and couldn’t eat because she was so upset. I won’t do that again! 🐶 Old dogs…

@jean That was my conclusion. At first I thought perhaps another big earthquake was on its way, or that the dark clouds in the east were producing thunder. But she shook in my arms all the time Oshi ate his food (I'd turned off the podcast way before that) and eventually I persuaded her to eat. The podcast was the only new and different thing.

There’s a guinea pig YouTuber I like (Little Adventures), but I don’t like to watch it unless I have AirPods on. I worry the guinea pig chitchattering will upset or confuse the house rodent. (I might be overthinking that one.)
