Tsunami

Today, all our thoughts go to our families, other Shiba Inus, other dogs, and humans in Japan, since the country was struck by a massive tsunami after the most powerful earthquake of the country since records began. The quake had a magnitude of 8.9 on the Richter scale, which is gigantic. We hope everything is as well as it can be. Early reports talk of 200 to 300 dead humans in the port town Sendai (not to be confused with April's daughter Aangenaam Nikka Sendai), but I have yet to find information on the death toll on dogs.

It is good to know that Japan is a developed country with a lot of experience in dealing with the consequences of earthquakes and tsunamis. Indeed, the internationally known word tsunami is of Japanese origin. We also hope the rest of the areas around the Pacific Ocean, some of which are not as developed as Japan, will not be too devastated by the tsunami.
