I have been crying a lot just watching the devastation from the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan. My prayers are with everyone effected by this horrific disaster. That video of the dogs brought tears to my eyes. I pray someone was able to help them.

Thank You for all the warm thoughts and prayers...

We are about 250 miles north of the nuclear plant. As of right now we are in NO danger. Winds blowing from the north to the south... They do have voluntary evacuations going on at this time. However, they are not sure about taking pets with us, because it is only voluntary and because they active duty personel would be staying behind. My sistuation is a little different being that my husband is deployed to the midde east, I would have to leave them here in the kennel or find someone to keep them. People leaving here could be gone for months....So with all that, I have decided that my kids and I are staying here. Theres no danger to us, if the situation arises and we HAVE to evacuate or things seem to be getting worse for us, we will do so and will be able to take Bella and Blossom along with us.

Gas and kerosene is getting low, but they are announcing that our schools will be opeing up on Monday, so thats good news. Our Commissary(grocery store) Is stocked and has PLENTY of food. We are a small, close knit community here and everyone is making decisions based on whats best for them...we are working hard to help our Japanese host with clean up and relief efforts are ongoing as our base is the HUB for USAID. I will try to update as I get more info, but right now all is as good as to be expected right now....please continue to pray
God Bless

My heart goes out to you and your family. I don't even have words to say how shocked and saddened I am by the whole situation in Japan. Stay safe and I will be praying for you every day.

I'm so glad you and your babies are OK. All of us in the states are praying for you.

It is so good to hear that you and yours are all okay. Cannot imagine what you have been through since the disaster and with worries about your husband. I'll bet your Yorkies are wondering why everyone is so tense and worried and they are worried, too. Thankfully, you are in a region that sounds safe and I pray you can stay home safely through this. It sounds like a lot of relief is on the way to Japan and hopefully things will get better in a while. Please stay on YT as you can and let us know how you and your family are doing. We around the world are keeping Japan in our prayers. My Yorkie, Tibbe, from Texas says "Hey" to your little Yorkies.

They just had a little story on Foxnews about the two dogs in that video and they said the dogs were rescued and are doing fine.

Buster Brown · 03-18-2011, 12:20 PM

Sending continued prayers for you and those in Japan and for your husband. May he be kept from harm and return to you safely.
