Away from Home

About 10 days ago...
I was preparing for my little trip.

Yes, Goro, but just for a short period.

Will you be okay without me?

I.....hope you will keep a regular bowel movement. 

You and Niko, both.

What do you mean?

Oh, no! Don't say that!

I... I always think about

Niko's and your happiness, Goro.

Now, would you give me my passport?

I did not ask you to pass me a pork, Goro.

My passport is under your tummy.

Are you trying to keep me from going away?

Later I found Goro packed himself in my suitcase.

Unfortunately, I could not take him or Niko with me.
(I wish I could.)

But when I came back,
Goro was happy and Niko had all his hair.

I don't think I'll go on a trip for a while.
It was very hard to be away from my kids.



Annual Vet Visit

It was Saturday morning, when I saw...

Goro! Stop attacking Niko.

We need to go to the Vet today.

I mean, Niko, Dad, and I need to go.

You don't have to run, Goro.

*

Today was the day for

Niko's annual veterinary exams.

Now, time for exam.

Niko got vaccinations and he is a healthy, happy boy :-)

*

Goro, we are home!

Goro...?

Are you okay?

Oh, Goro. It was just a regular Vet visit.

Niko is home, too.

Yes, he went upstairs.

Goro! Stop attacking Niko!

*

There was another time when
Niko had to be at the Vet for a while
and Goro was depressed at home.

Goro is sometimes rough but
he sure loves Niko :-)

Award & 7 Facts

Hello, it's Goro and Niko.

Usually our Mom posts a blog but this time

we will, because we got a special award from

sweet Admiral in Adventures of Admiral Hestorb!

Also wonderful Lucy and Sam in A Tale of 2 Kitties

left us a comment that they want us to have

this award. Thank you, Admiral, Lucy, and Sam

for thinking about us! 

This award wants us to tell 7 things that people out

in blog land may not know. OK, here we go.

#1

Niko: I sometimes pretend I don't feel like eating

so that Mom puts a little snack in my bowl.

 #2

Goro: I sometimes pretend I don't feel like eating

so that Mom spoon-feeds me.

#3

Goro: I tried to chew up Mom's cabin kennel

to stop her from going on a trip.

 #4

Niko: I saw Goro chewing up Mom's

snack-case and I was going to tell her.

...But I didn't, because

I didn't want her to go away either.

#5

Niko: I'm half-Japanese because Mom is Japanese.

I am studying Japanese to surprise Mom

by speaking her native language.

#6

Goro: I'm half-Japanese because Mom is Japanese.

But Niko is not

because he was adopted when he was a baby.

*



Finally #7

Goro & Niko: Anyone, regardless of

who you are or where you are from, can make a

real happy family. (We don't need to be related by birth
 or belong to the same species.) All we need is love :-)

Oh, we just realized #7 does not apply to

"a thing people may not know" because all of you

here already know it!

Here is another #7

Our Dad is allergic to cats so he gets allergy shots

to be around us. He loves us so much!! 

Now, we want to pass this award on to 7 blogs

that are stylish. We wanted to pick more than 7

but this award wants us to pick only 7. So hard.

Goro's Toy

Goro is an adorable boy.

But his true identity is a serial toy killer.

Victim #1 Big bird
Stuffing is coming out, not foaming at the mouth

Victim #2 Rat

Face is eaten. Too graphic to show without mosaic.

Victim #3 Feather toy (Left)
Same toys: Right is new, left is after being attacked.

They are just the tip of an iceberg.

Goro is looking for the next victim,

and toys are trembling with fear.

"How long will this toy killing spree continue?"

"Who will be the next victim?"

Meanwhile, Niko is enjoying his kneading time.

*Kneading song "Holiday Biscuit" written by Niko

?

Niko? Is something wrong?

I hope Goro knows Niko is not a toy.



Snow Day

Earlier this week...

I found Goro moving like a snake.

 

Ah, he was after a bird outside.

We can, Goro.

But you have to get dressed first.

And you can't hunt that bird.

We had a heavy snow here in Southeastern U.S.

To go out, Goro has to wear harness.

Goro, I've seen you jumping around

in that harness before. Let's go.

(He is kind of a drama queen.)

Anyway, as he is dressed properly, we went outside.

But it was so cold that we came back in 3 minutes.

It's not a good idea to go out

on such a cold, snowy day.

By the way, I haven't seen Niko...

Goro, do you know where Niko is?

After occupying the spot in front of fireplace

and warming himself, Goro went upstairs.

For a while, though, neither he nor Niko came back

to downstairs, so I went to check on them.

Maybe they are snuggling up to

each other on a bed :-)

It's a good way to warm up

on such a cold, snowy day.

.....No, they are not on a bed.

Where did they go?

...Wait.

I hear a noise coming from the bathroom.

Ah, there they are, dancing.



It's another good way to warm up
on such a cold, snowy day.

Snow has mostly melted around where I live
by this weekend. I hope everyone who has snow
stay warm and safe, and everyone who does not
have snow also stay comfortable and safe.
