It’s been raining here since sometime yesterday. We are definitely concerned about the direction the typhoon is heading, but as of today, there’s been no wind, just rain, rain, rain non-stop. On days like these, the dogs’ spirits are usually lower. Most of the dogs stay in their houses, sleeping peacefully.



“I wonder when this rain’ll let up!”



On a walk, wearing our raincoats.
“Let’s get a hat on you too. Your head’s gonna get all wet, you know.”

We go for walks unless it’s very heavy rain, or there’s lightning. Often dogs won’t do anything but go to the bathroom when we go for a walk in the rain.

They’re saying that Osaka will feel the strongest effects of the typhoon from tonight until tomorrow morning. We cleaned up and put away items likely to fall or get blown away, but we still have plenty of worries: will the roofs of the dog enclosures get blown off? Will the animals get hit by objects sent flying by the wind? Will any of the animals start to panic during the night? Will the tarps blocking out the rain from the cat enclosures get blown away?

Well, all we can hope is that nothing out of the ordinary happens. How will tomorrow turn out? I can’t say, but I’ll be happy if all are safe and sound at the end of the day.
