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!
