Goro and Niko in a Cat Tree

Niko is on the top of brown cat tree,

enjoying the view from the window.

Goro came in anyway.

...I may have to rescue Niko now.

There used to be enough room for

both of them to relax together.

Picture taken in May 2010

Maybe for Goro, Niko is still a small baby.

We are very happy to say this blog is given the

you for this amazing award to our favorite girl, Kassey

in Carolyon, and handsome (and our kids' evil twin)
Mr. George Clooney in Clooney's Num-Num Fund.
Thank you so much for thinking about us!!

It's my turn to pass this award but many of you have

already gotten it. And you are all awesome! So I

just want to say I enjoy reading your blogs. I am

very happy to have known you and become friends.  

This award wants us to share the fact about us.

Here I have 7 things to tell you...

#1
After meal, Niko stretches and goes ralaxing.

#2

After meal, Goro buries his food with invisible sand.

#3

But Goro does not bury after using bathroom.

I wish :-)

#4

Instead, Niko does all the burying 

when he uses bathroom after Goro.

#5

After using bathroom, Niko cleans himself.

#6

Goro loves to watch me clean dishes.

I wait to start dish washer until my bedtime

so that I can include all the dirty dishes of the day.

And this is when everyone gathers

in the kitchen because.......

 #7
We have happy hour right before bedtime.
Kids eat a little treat and then we say good night.
We go to bed happy and greet another happy day.



Sweet Dreams

Goro's blooming tummy fur.

He loves to nap with one or both of us around.

Goro is like a jello with fur when he is asleep.

Niko and his favorite blanket.

He is a sleep-kneader.

Niko kneads while he is sleeping.

Maybe he is dreaming about being a baker.

One of the things that make me happy is

to see my kids sleeping peacefully, with no worries.

I hope those who are worried about their

loved ones' health, who lost loved ones,

who are affected by disasters and living in fear

can find anything to smile about.

I hope payers and purring will reach them

and everyone can have a good night's sleep.



Cold

I caught a cold.

Thank you, Niko.

But I'm not sure

if I'll be comfortable in your bed.

...I will borrow it when I feel like kneading.

Enjoy the bed, Niko.

Oh, you are so sweet, Goro.

Let me go get sugar to add to the tea.

T...thank you, Goro.

Did you wash your hands after using bathroom?

Thanks to devoted care by my kids,

I got over the sticky cold.

We can catch a cold easily when seasons change.

Please take care not to fall sick,

and I wish everyone a good health.
