Fukushima 20KM No Entry Zone

My Mama met a wonderful veterinarian from Japan, Dr. Shigeki Imamoto. Dr. Imamoto came to San Francisco on February 10 to speak at the Japanese Cultural & Community Center of No. CA. He showed everyone what's happening in the Fukushima 20KM No Entry Zone. For those of you who do not know, the people of this area were forced to leave and they had to leave all their four legged family members and livestock behind.

They have been without shelter, food & water for almost a year. It's getting colder and colder in Northern Japan and I am very very worried about them all.


Dr. Iwamoto has been going to the No Entry Zone every month to check on the health and well being of the animals/livestocks. Did you know that he cannot legally bring food in for them?

What he has seen so far is very sad. Mama showed me, and I started to cry. What can we do Mama? Dr. Imamoto said that it's hard for one person to change the minds of the Japanese Government, but if we all band together and start raising our voices then MAYBE they will see that all lives are worth saving.

The JCCCNC has uploaded Dr. Imamoto's presentation. Please see it and help spread the word.

Big Chu Chu Chu to Dr. Imamoto!!

Welcome to Teppei Boy!

Teppei is the name of our boy. Ok ok he is a pug, but to me and my husband he is our little boy. He's brought so much joy into our lives and continues to entertain us with his facial expressions that say so much. And that is why I have started this blog, to share with you Teppei's photos and what he's wanting to say.

I'm hoping to chronicle his life here so that you can see how much this little boy means to us.

Now without further a do...My Teppei Boy
