Is the power outage in your area?
Apparently while we were at work the power went out. Got home and the digital clock was blinking. So the pups got a little bit uncomfortable, I guess.
Everything seems to be fine now.
I almost wish this had been an act of terror. Because if indeed all this was due to a tiny switch or other small device that failed we are a lot more vulnerable to a planned and deliberate attack than was previously thought.
