Spring is here

Hello everyone. Usagi here.

Although it is still quite cool in the mornings and nights, several kinds of cherry blossoms have already started to bloom. Now double-flowered cherry trees are in full bloom.

みなさまこんにちは。Usagiです。

朝晩はまだ肌寒いですが、4月に入ってから色々な種類の桜が咲き始め、今は八重桜が満開。

Having a lot of sunny weather and longer daylight hours we now feel that spring has come (finally). Andy is running around on the grass during his daily walks, fully enjoying spring.

晴天の日が多くなり、日照時間が長くなると、「やっと春が来たな~」という気分になります。Andyも、散歩中に芝生の上を走り回って春を満喫してます。

Pets after the quake

Hi, Danny here.

In the aftermath of the recent earthquake in Japan I came across some news about a dog. It was found floating in the ocean on the roof of a house, 3 weeks after the quake/tsunami and was rescued. Now she has been reunited with her owner. What a lucky dog.
Usagi also found links to pictures shed like to share of pets at evacuee centers in Japan.

こんにちは。Dannyです。

震災後に、がれきに乗ったまま3週間も海を漂っていた犬が救助されたというニュースを見ました。そして昨日、ワンちゃんは飼い主さんと再会を果たしたそうです。本当にラッキーな犬ですね。
Usagiが、こんなサイトを見つけました。避難所で暮らすペットたちの写真です。
