Great Earthquake

I felt the big earthquake here in Hokkaido, too.
But we are all right.
I am terribly worried about people suffering from the disaster.

This is a press photograph from the Asahi Shimbun.

He is looking for his family with his white dog.
I cannot stop crying...

Do not lose hope,
we can support each other.

My heart went out to the people in Japan, thanks goodness you and your family are OK.
My pawrents already paid for the tour of Korea and Japan, they will be in Japan on April 2 for a week.

Hi Matilda! We noticed your comment and your cute photo on Mango's blog and wanted to come by and say hello! The earthquake must be a very scary experience and we're glad you are safe.

You have lots of nice photos. The pictures from the Snow Festival are fantastic!

Matilda,
My pawrents trip to Japan was cancelled by the tour company. They were so disappointed that they didn't want to go on with the trip to Korea and Vietnam.
I look up the map for your place, you are north of Sendai and Tokyo, haha, I know a few geometry, yeah!

I just bumped into your blog which is so pleasant and your photos are beautiful and speak a thousand words. Few hours ago on our national news I saw your King and Queen visiting an evacuation centre and going down on their knees to talk to an elderly couple. I don't know why but the tears just flowed. The Lord said the world will have many troubles but take heart, He has overcome the world. We will overcome all our troubles with His help. Nothing last forever and that includes bad things!

Hi Matilda! Thanks so much for coming by our blog and also your cute pawprint on our guestbook.

We just looked up some images of the doggies who have been left out in the devastating area and we cried a lot. Very sad. We hope all is well with you and your family.

We'd love to add your name to our friends list. Hope it's ok with you!

Momo & Pinot xoxo
