I'ma Big Bed Bug

Mama and Dad covered me up when they were changing the sheets over the weekend. 

I got a glimpse of what it may feel like to be a bed bug.

All I can say is it's hard to breathe covered up like that. 

Thank You Atta Ya Family!

Mama and I received a package from Hokkaido, Japan this weekend. It was from my Yomogi girlfriend's Mama, Sakuka-san. As you know, Yomogi Girl passed away back in July.

As a thank you to all Yomogi Girl's friends, her Mama sent these wonderful thank you gifts. It included a  postcard of Yomogi, a little pug pouch, a pug omamori (amulet) and to my surprise personalized postcards for moi!

Thank you thank you thank you Sakuka!! Mama and I will keep Yomogi-chan's memory alive in our hearts forever!

Chu Chu Chu from me, Teppei Boy!

さくかさんよもぎちゃんの思い出になるポーストカードやいろいろ送ってくださってありがとう！いつまでもいつまでもよもぎちゃんの事ママと僕のハートに大切にキープしときます。

Mama I'm Not a Pear

Mama copied one of her pug friends in Japan and made me look like an Asian Pear.
She put the netting on my head.

I didn't think it was funny. Can you tell?

Then she decided to wrap my head with a tenugui (Japanese hand towel).

Yes you can see the expression on my face.

Mama would you just let me be. Tanomu (please).

I think Mama is bored.

Auntie Pat please do something.

39th Annual Nihonmachi Street Fair

Well folks if you didn't make it out to the 39th Annual Nihonmachi Street Fair ya missed out on a fabulous weekend. Plus that also means you didn't get to see me in the Doggie Parade. 
I was the Grand Marshall of the Doggie Parade which ended with the NSF's 1st Annual Fun & Furry Pooch Pageant.

Look at the wonderful float that the JCYC youth created for moi! Yup I didn't have to march down. Rode da float with Tubby by my side (he pictured here on the right) and Bonanza leading the parade in his King Kamehameha costume (picture to come!).



Over 42 doggies participated in this very first event at the Nihonmachi Street Fair. Chu Chu Chu kisses to Auntie Gail, Aunti Marie and Auntie Shirley.

Next year it's gonna be bigger!!! Woof Woof!!!

Farewell Yomogi Girl

Today is a very sad day. My eHarmony girlfriend Yomogi chan in Japan passed away early Friday morning. 

She had the cutest little face and I really wished I could have flown to Japan to see her in person, just once and chu chu'd her face. Yomogi chan was sooooo loved by the Atta ya family. Now she is in doggie heaven running free and breathing on her own.

さくかさん、よもぎちゃんを世界のみなさんに毎日ブロッグでshareしてくれて本当にありがとう。僕もよもぎちゃんの事いつまでも祈って居ます。一生わすれません。アイラブユーよもぎちゃん。

Doggie World at the 39th Annual Nihonmachi Street Fair

Did you hear? The 39th Annual Nihonmachi Street Fair will have a Doggie World for all of us four legged family members!!

I'm personally asking all my doggie friends to tell their parents to bring them down to this great community event that celebrates all the Asian/Pacific communities in the Bay Area. 
I'll be there with my posse Bonanza, Tubby, & Leo!


Doggie World will have animal experts on hand to answer any questions like "Do I need to brush Fido's teeth?" Arguello Pet Hospital is the main sponsor Woo Hoo! Also local animal rescue organization such as Rocket Dog will be there too. The SF Animal Care & Control will be there also!! Maybe you'll get to take home a new brother or sister??


Mama said that all of us four legged sons and daughters are a very special and that is why her, Aunties Gail, Marie, Shirley and Uncle Glenn (Nihonmachi Street Fair Doggie World Posse) have joined forces to put together da best Doggie World this city has ever seen.


For all you fashionistas don't forget to enter the 1st Annual Fun & Furry Pooch Contest and you can't miss the Doggie Parade cause yours truly will be the Grand Marshall.





You heard it here. I will lead the beautiful boys and girls down Post Street to the main Webster Street Stage area! Judges for the contest will include da famous THE ANGELA PANG of the AsianWeek Foundation/Asian Heritage Street Celebration.


Money raised at this year's Doggie World will be donated to the Hachiko Coaliton. They work very hard to raise funds and outreach for the many rescue groups in Japan that are working so hard to save the many animals/livestocks still left behind in the Fukushima 20KM No Entry zone. This area of Northern Japan was hit very hard from last year's major earthquake and tsunami. There is still so much to do and we can all help.


So mark your calendar for August 4 & 5. This is going to be the EVENT of the year!!!

Can't a Boy Take a Snooze in Peace?

Mama always catches me taking a snooze. Jeez Mama can't I take a snooze in peace?

A growing boy needs his rest. Plus beauty sleep is a must for fashionista!

Well she caught me again. Don't know if it was just that I was tired or the background news was a BORING!!

Thanks a lot Mama. Just don't post it on YouTube...wait this is on YouTube grrrrrrr.
