Nightly Battle

* Happy Hour = Snack time before going to bed

I know, Niko. But after I take shower, OK?

Niko waits outside the shower room.
(Makes me take VERY quick shower.)

OK, I'm ready. Let's go.

Niko loves chicken so much...

He always takes over Goro's dish :-)

After Happy Hour, we play.

It's getting late. 

Niko, let's go to bed...

No, no. There is no 2nd Happy Hour.

Then Niko waits on the stairs.

Sometimes Goro joins.

Now, I'm very aware of 

Goro's growing tummy flab.

And Niko's meaty peach.

So, NO more snack...

(Uh-oh, leg rubbing always gets me.)

O...okay, just a tiny bit.

"Snack, more or no more"  

This is the battle I have to fight every night. It's

hard to win when the opponents are so cute.

Children's Day

Dinner time will be soon, Goro.

No, no.

Okay, just a little.

I hope it didn't ruin your appetite.

Your Daddy went deep-sea fishing

and caught tuna today.

It's May 5th - Children's Day in Japan. This is the day to

celebrate happiness of children. Carp-shaped windsocks

are traditionally flown to wish children a good future.

(Picture of a park in my hometown)

We don't have carp windsocks but cooked tuna :-)

We sure wish a happiness for our fur children!

Fun Weekend

Goro here.

Niko. Is something wrong?

We had a fun weekend.

We wish you a fun-filled week and hope
next weekend will come soon!

Spring Day

We had a beautiful weekend.

Goro, Niko.

Don't you love this spring day?

That's a big yawn, Goro.

Niko often runs away when Goro starts to groom him.

I think it's because grooming tends to become biting.

But it was a beautiful spring day!

We had a nice long nap together.

Well, eventually :-)

Finally Spring

Kitty door leading to Goro & Niko's
enclosure outside. (Shown with Goro's tail)

Goro has no problem using it, 

but Niko is a bit scared.

OK, through the big door, then.

Once outside, Niko seems to feel comfortable.

(Not really. Don't fall.)

Happy Niko ball.

He is like cute dandelion puff.

I agree, Goro. It's finally getting nice and warm :-)

Of course, it is always spring at home. Goro & Niko
are my spring who warm and brighten my heart.

Blooming fur

Spring fever

Cheerful faces

I hope you enjoy your spring!
