Present from Japan



My birthday is in April.

We got these fantastic birthday gifts
from N-Chan, my friend in Japan!



Yes, she never forgets you, Goro! Wanna
play with this Matatabi ball?

*Matatabi = Silvervine

Um, Goro. That's a container for the toy...

Niko enjoyed the toy properly :-)


Thank you, N-Chan, for your wonderful gifts!
We all enjoyed all of them
(yep, including box and containers!)


By the way, N-Chan has a sweet,
adorable woofie boy. Here are some pictures
from their trips to fur-friendly resorts.

Taking hot spring bath

 Dinner made for woofie guest. Lucky boy!

Enjoying relaxing time  

Happy Sunday, everyone!!

  16. Happy Birthday !!!
    The present is so cool ! I never tried silver vine before. It's good to know what Japanese calls silver vine. Because my uncle always love to go to Japan. May be mom can ask him to buy some for me =^x^=
    Thanks

  25. Dearest Tamago,
    What a surprise and a true joy for receiving such delicacy in the mail; for two- and four-legged family members.
    One can tell that woofie is enjoying a lot of love and pampering and that is right! My miniature Dachshund, Mauzie also traveled with us to more countries and states probably as many humans... She loved it!
    It is so fun to watch how our fur babies at times prefer to play with an empty container!
    Sending you hugs,
    Mariette
