 Japanese Submarine Attacks US Mainland (1942)With the exception of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US was able to largely avoid fighting WWII on home soil, mainly because of its relative geographical isolation. However, Japan attacked the West Coast of the US several times. In 1942, a Japanese submarine fired at Fort Stevens in Oregon in the first and only attack on a mainland US military installation during the war.

This is one of the most adorable dogs I've ever seen. I can believe how small 'toria looks, now!

This made me giggle. What a sweetheart. What does Muncie think of her?
It's good she is laid back. She makes up for Victoria who is a bit more high strung.
What a sweet belly! Those pictures are so cute that they almost conjure up that puppy smell for me when I look at them. We have a doggie visitor at our zoo today - and I was hoping people would post their dogs after last week's cat posts. So glad to see yours. Sadie is adorable!
aaaawwwwww!
now i want one!
