Our Anniversary



Recently, Goro & Niko's Dad and I 
celebrated our wedding anniversary.

He cooked seafood dinner for the special day.


I set a romantic candlelight dinner table
with flameless candles.


And garnished the dish with homegrown cat grass...


Yes, all for Goro & Niko 


Kids, how do you like your candlelight dinner?

* I blame daylight savings time

Well, I guess they don't care about decoration
because they are boys, but...


I love sharing celebration with kids :-)

* We did have a candlelight breakfast (Oh, dark!)

Recheck


Last week we took Niko to the Vet.



After technician came, door was closed.


Searching for an escape route.


The window is closed, Niko.
I don't think you can break it open.


At his annual checkup in February, his blood
work showed slightly high BUN. Therefore
recheck this time. I was hoping it was false high...


On Monday - His blood and urine tests came
back with normal values! We sure keep monitoring,
but I am so relieved to see good result this time :-)

My Dear Hunter





Goro is a very good hunter.


He brings his hunting gifts to us, too.
Glad they are not breathing kind...


This brings me back a memory of
one of my girls over the Rainbow Bridge. 

***

My beautiful baby girl.


She always gave me her hunting gift - birds, lizards,
etc. Yes, they were breathing (or used-to-breathe) kind.


I remember one particular night
when she brought me a LIVE MOLE. 

Under panic, I caught it and threw out of window.

The image of mole vanishing into darkness
 is still clear in my memory...


I'm sorry I had to let go of the hunting gifts from my
dear girl. But I cherish the gift of happiness she brought
me every day and happy memories I will never let go.


***

By the way, I highly doubt Niko is a good hunter.



Goro. For hunting gift,
please stick to a non-breathing kind.

Still Cold


March has come!

But it's still cold, so we lit a fire in the fireplace.


...on TV.


It feels warmer.
Doesn't it, Goro?


I hope spring will come soon!
