I got a package from Japan today!!

My Uncle Kei & Auntie Michiko sent me a present today!!!

Heh-heh you will never guess. Okay okay, let me show you.

What dya mean what's that?

Here let me model it for you better...

Yup it is Judo-gi. I even got a black belt.

A sukoshi (little) tight, but I'm sure once I get back into training it will fit better.

I just think it looks pretty snazzy. Better than those striped hot pants.

I don't even want to talk about that any more.

A top view.

Wait what was that? Putting this Judo-gi on makes my animal instinct a little sharper.

This is SOOOOOO Wrong.

Okay stop laughing!

I said you can STOP laughing.

The nerve.

My Mama is to blame for that photo.

Plus she knows better that I shouldn't wear stripes!!

My body type does not do well in stripes.

Devil Dog

Mama took this picture of me recently and I was just scared of the devilish face I made.

Yup this is me. Can you believe it?

Scary huh? I'ma gonna hide now.

Pssst...You yeah you....

Today I discovered a new taste treat. Let me show you.

Do you know what that is?

Smells good. Looks good.

Mama said it is a manju.

Let me just say it yumsculalicious.

I want that Mama

Mama got me a teddy bear back pack today. Isn't he the cutest? She wouldn't let me play with it.

So I kept staring at it.

She put it on top of the tansu drawer so that I couldn't reach it.

Plus I wouldn't touch my dinner that was getting cold.

Whaaat!

Yes that is rice, chicken, some liver and dry dog food. Mama also put 2 pieces of noodles on top.

But, my attention was still on the teddy bear.

She finally caved in...

I love Mama. Oh BTW Dad is away camping.

I just love my stuffed animals

Mom says I'm just like baachan. Love those stuffed animals. And let me tell you I've got all kinds. So much that they have taken over my doggie bed, toy bag and even Mama & Dad's bed. Thanks to Denise, Kalli, Ann, Nancy, Uncle Geary & Auntie Angel.

I'm usually very gentle with them...

But on a occasion I have been known to tear them up. Case in point this was the cute Koala that Uncle Tom gave Mama all the way from Australia.

Whaaaat? You thought it was an elephant? Oh well. I still love the little Koala even though he's starting to look like Dumbo.

Sorry folks been a little lazy.

So many things have happen since my last post. First an foremost I want to welcome a new addition to our family (NO not a puppy!!), my sister-in-law, Masako. She married my brother Jeffrey (my originally dad's son, my mom's nephew) this past Monday in Napa. Mama said that the wedding was beautiful and the handsome couple were just busting with joy.


I can't wait til Jeffrey & Masako have a baby or pug (hint hint). Whichever comes first I'll be a very happy camper.

Mama's niece (her brother Kei's daughter) came all the way from Japan. Her name is Sachiko, but I call her Sa-chan for short. Although she's a cat person, she provided me with much love. Plus how can one not like my face?



I'm waiting for Mr. & Mrs. Jeffrey Nakahara to come visit me so that I can bless their union in my own special way...chu chu chu on the face of course!! Gotta share that family love love.
