Is it a Tanuki, perhaps?by es 6/1/2011 11:36:08 PM
@Nancy glad you said that - there are a few dog breeds that are somewhat fox likeby UKVal 6/1/2011 11:36:20 PM
@es what is a tanuki?by Nancy 6/1/2011 11:36:40 PM- @Nancy From wiki "Tanuki (狸 or タヌキ?) is the common Japanese name for the Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus). They have been part of Japanese folklore since ancient times. The legendary tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absent-minded."by es 6/1/2011 11:37:08 PM
Todays hot tweet is a clip of the Kan -Obama mutual admiration club - the people of Japan are not happy as tbs show www.youtube.comby elainekirk 6/1/2011 11:37:27 PM
by UKVal via Japanesetranslationservice.org 6/1/2011 11:38:02 PM- Most of the generic dogs in Japan are similar to either an Akita or a Shiba. They have very distinct body styles. There really are not any common dogs that have spindly legs like that and a fox face plus lots of fur.by Nancy 6/1/2011 11:38:20 PM
- @UKVal very possibly what it was.by Nancy 6/1/2011 11:39:06 PM
- @Nancy could be - although appeared quite thinby UKVal 6/1/2011 11:39:54 PM
If it is a tanuki than it's a skinny one..by LM 6/1/2011 11:40:02 PM- ..they are supposed to be 'shape shifters'!by UKVal 6/1/2011 11:40:48 PM
- He's probably sick. Likely lots of dead things to eat but most have probably rotted beyond what scavengers will eat and the radiation has to be making him ill.by Nancy 6/1/2011 11:41:13 PM

- @LM don't think so -it's obscuring the supportsby UKVal 6/2/2011 12:02:34 AM
- @UKVal You're right but I don't see it moving anywhere.by LM 6/2/2011 12:03:57 AM
- @LM must be pretty sheltered there -by UKVal 6/2/2011 12:05:13 AM
- it's definitely moving...by UKVal 6/2/2011 12:06:47 AM
Look at this shot of #1 and compare it to what the tepco cam showing. See bottom left of this pic how the ground just drops? I think that cam is up there because the fault has caused damage they don't want to be known
by elainekirk 6/2/2011 12:07:12 AM- It does look like it could be, but what would be smoking there?by LM 6/2/2011 12:07:52 AM
- @elainekirk TEPCO has been strategically editing images. There were some supposedly new ones of 4 that took great pains to keep the really damaged parts out of the picture.by Nancy 6/2/2011 12:08:31 AM
- @Elaine There's been some serious movement there!by LM 6/2/2011 12:09:12 AM
@elainekirk That "erm" link you posted, I went deeper into it and am on a page where they say this: Summary suspension order and the shipment at customs import injunction issue after the nuclear accident Geiger counter Fukushima: translate.googleusercontent.comby deb 6/2/2011 12:10:16 AM- looks to me as if the smoke is coming off the surface below & being trapped against the side of the hill...by UKVal 6/2/2011 12:10:26 AM
- @UKVal The wind is pretty stiff so I suppose that's possible.by LM 6/2/2011 12:11:46 AM
- i hope it's not roast tanuki...by UKVal 6/2/2011 12:11:52 AM
- @deb that sounds iffy I like that site and many Japanese do but I have great trouble trying to understand thank youby elainekirk 6/2/2011 12:11:56 AM
- @elainekirk have you seen the smoke?by UKVal 6/2/2011 12:12:20 AM
- I'll be back in a bit...hungry teenagers are calling!by LM 6/2/2011 12:12:34 AM
- @nancy I found yr roof by chance when I was searching for something to confirm what I thought - that IAea pic where they were all stood looking and pointing was so silly they were stood too far from the unit it didnt make sense to me and then when they were closer at another you can see tops of those crowd control portable fences why put silly fencing there?? oo we don't alow you past this point? queue single file for entrance? dont fall down the chasm?by elainekirk 6/2/2011 12:16:52 AM
