Winter Storm

On Friday, our office closed early due to 

approaching winter storm.

(Haha...it may be nothing for friends living in the North.)

I was happy to see my boys early in the afternoon.

What?

Oh, no no no, we are not going to the Vet.

(When I come home earlier than usual,

it's often because someone has to go to the Vet.) 

It's too cold outside, Goro.

I know, Niko.

I mean, not until next week :-)

Niko will have his annual checkup next Saturday.

Please wish him luck!

Later as it was getting colder, I let Goro wear a scarf.

Wow, Goro. You look super handsome!

I wonder if he enjoys wearing kitty clothes...

Stay warm, everyone!

Busy Days

I have been busy at work for the last couple of
weeks and coming home late every night. I sure
missed spending more time with Goro & Niko.

Things seem to be back to normal now. I can come
home at normal hours and play with kids. (I hope!)

Lesson One

Since holiday is over...

Goro, Niko. Let me give you a language lesson.

Goro is named after Japanese word "goro goro."

"Goro goro" has several meanings. Here are some;

#1 Loafing around, being lazy

#2 Rumbling sound of upset stomach

#3 Kitties' purring sound

Now, which meaning do you think Goro's name has?

The answer is #3. Goro was purring like a

music box when he came here to live with us.

Goro is Mr. Purr.

Niko is named after Japanese word "niko niko."

"Niko niko" is an expression of smiling face.

Niko is Mr. Smile.

We hope you purr and smile every day that is filled with

feelings of happiness and moments of laughter!

Christmas 2012

Oh, my, Christmas has come and gone
in a blink of an eye!

Still we had a good time together.
Here are random scenes around Christmas...

Decorating for Christmas

Wrapping up presents

Of course Goro was all over.

We cooked tuna for Christmas dinner.

Goro and Niko were very cute

waiting for dinner together :-)

When opening the present, Goro was more

interested in the wrapping paper. (Typical, isn't it?)

Come on, Goro. Let's play with your new toy.

*I got gift idea from a post in Clooney's Num-Num Fund.

Thank you, Mr. Clooney's tunnel! You are the best!

Niko was overwhelmed by all the noise and activities.
He scares easily. 

Later I made a bird out of wrapping paper.

Niko got a brave spirit and fought the bird.

(It's a Christmas miracle!)

Before we wrap up this year's last post, we'd like to say
big THANK YOU to wonderful friends from
The Furries of Whisppy and Fraidy Cats! for the stars!!
Please catch the shooting stars that we sent back to you!

Wishing you all a very happy new year!!

Last Christmas

♪ ♪ ♪ 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

♫

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby, do you recognize me?

Well it's been a year

It doesn't surprise me

"Happy Christmas"

I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I love you" I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now

I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

"Special"

♫ ♫ ♫

(Song by talented Wham!)

Well, OK, the truth is...

Unlike the song, no matter what,

he is always, always special to me...  :-)

Goro & Niko

My special fur babies

Merry Christmas!

Speaking of holiday season - Christmas is coming soon!

Goro. Niko. Let's write a letter to Santa. 

You can ask him to bring present for you.

Letter from Goro:

Very clear but lip print may be a bit inappropriate.

Letter from Niko:

Very polite but too distracted by his appetite.

I'm sure he will :-)
