Tommy's Thankful Thursday

Tommy: Today is Thursday and you know what that means? It maens that tomorrow is Friday, and it is the day when #1 gets back from Japan. Now that is something to be thankful for!

In the meantime, here are a couple of photos of me from the past couple of weeks:

I have been spending a lot of time with Fernant. It's good to have good pals.

And we would like to wish all our American friends a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday

A poster all over Tokyo for Akita Prefecture, where the Akita dog breed comes from. There is also a play on words since "Aki" also means autumn.

Tama-Chan Tuesday?

Tama-Chan: So, it's supposed to be Tama-Chan Tuesday, right? And where, I ask you, are the Tama-Chan photos? A few photos have made their way to #1 in Japan, and there are just a couple I can share with you.

The first is me looking to see if there were any leftovers in Tommy's bowl.

And the other is to show you what I have to put up with when I have my meals, with those two boys hanging around... Wen #1 is here, she often makes sure to feed me where I won't be disturbed. I can't wait for her to get back!

We would like to apologise for the overall lack of commenting. Things will reman this way until #1 gets back from Japan. Her last few days will be as crazy as the rest has been, and she has now caught a cold to boot! Thank you so much to all who have been commenting on our posts!

Manly Monday from Japan

#1 here. I thought I would share pictures of a coupe of very many encounters I have enjoyed over here in Japan.

Firstly, here is a very handsome Shiba-Inu I came across a few days ago:

And the other is this gorgeous horse called "Tera" which means Temple. He is five years olf and is learning to log and plough. He is very very cool!

Wishing you all a great week!

Snoozy Sunday

Tama-Chan: With #1 away for the second Sunday in a row, the only thing to do on a Sunday is snooze.

Thank goodness #1 will be back next Sunday!

Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday

Sei-Chan: Phew! You have NO idea how crazy things have been for us as we accompany #1 on her mad progress through Japan. Last night, she only managed to get four hours of sleep. This will not do!

Yuu-Chan has been trying to hold her down...

I have been looking severe::

Ikkyu has been trying to set an example:

But it seems that Sen-Chan is her role model at the moment:

And as for Trav, well, his mame is "The Traveller", right? So we can't expect much from him!

The only good news is that #1 has been able to enjoy "Onsen" Japanese hot spring baths every day the past few days!

Have a great Seiturday!

Far-Off Festival Felines on Friday!

#1 here, reporting from Japan. On Tuesday, I went to one of Tokyo's big festivals. It is called "Tori no Ichi" and it is a very colourful event at which they sell highly decorated bamboo rakes with which people and businesses  will "rake in" money in the coming year. This being Japan, there were lots of cats, and also some dogs, in the rake designs. Here is a selection for you:
