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!)

ReplyDeleteawww happy early birthday what cool stuff. I love Japanese things. Its one culture I really enjoy
ReplyDeleteO amigo de vocês é muito fofo!
ReplyDeleteAproveitem os presentes meus amores.
Dearest Tamago,
ReplyDeleteWhat 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
Wonderful gifts! We know how great gifts from Japan are!!!
