Happy Halloween from Japan.

Happy Halloween.

Where I live no Trick or Treaters.

The hill I live on would not be worth the long walk up.
Even with a full sized candybar as a treat.

Mia goes to her School 5 days and The International School

that was her pre-school 3 days a week.

The neighbhood shops lets the class 

Trick or Treat.

I could only show one blurry photo of them, in Japan they are 

very carefull of showing faces.

Mia was Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service.

 I want that broom !

 Not sure why they are taking the subway.  Kiki can fly with her broom.

Maybe not enough room for taking Dad and Mum ?

 This photo is blurry but I can show part of the group.

Two of her friends dressed up as Harry Potter. The outfits were fabulous.

 Mum and Dad and Kiki went to the Mall  and had more fun.

.

Mia is at my favorite Studio Ghibli Shop. 

Standing right in front of the Kiki section showing Jiji her talking cat.

Here is your start of the week pretty.

Winston had a visit to the Doctor for his booster shots 

plus an appointment made for his little snip.

He is now 5 months, has lost all his puppy teeth (thank goodness) and is doing great.

This time he felt so bad after his vaccination 

that he cried when I picked him up later in the day.

He slept most of the afternoon and evening.

Poor wee gud dug.

Today he is feeling very naughty, so all is better !

Not sure why but he loves to nap under my walker, blanket or not.

What a quirky wee gud dug.

......

As always here is your weekend pretty just in time for Halloween.

Blog friend Paul sent me this.

Playing catch up with posting about Tucson.

So here is a Summer mashup.

.

Summer clouds mostly sunsets.

 Love this one with the moon.

 Sunrise.

Early morning with puppy iwinston.

 Monsoon traveling south around the Tucson valley at sunset.

 Big clouds, big shadows.

 Love the small clouds that just float by.

 Early morning view out my bedroom window.

....

I signed up for Bark Box for thehamish and we had fun opening the box together.
Such gud sniffs !
Because of all his health problem he could not eat all the treats.
I only let him have the chicken ones with no grains.
They are great treats, made in the USA. No chicken from China.

Tested by other gud dug.

  The toys are the best and he had fun for a short time.  

Then he became too ill to play with them but we saved them for iwinston.

Now iwinston is enjoying the boxes but I only let him have some of the treats.
The box is still addressed to thehamish.
Bark Box wrote his name just the way like he liked.
Just a great company.

Here is the Halloween Bark Box.

 They are so very clever and everything is done fabulous.

 Doorbell of DOOM !

 Count Vacuula !

 ATTACK !
...

Very late photos of when iwinston was at the Puppy Bootcamp.

 He kinda took over. The drill instuctor's two dogs liked him.
They thought him crazy.

Can you see who is sitting on the Dobermans pillow
and eating her chew toy ?

 Love the expression on the Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Such boo boo face I love him !

Awwwwww terriers and Scotties in particular. Little gud dug with a
big dog mentality and a cat vibe.
Just great dogs who are very zen with a smile.

....

Here is your pretty for the begining of the week.

 Sunrise, it was 57 when I got up at 6:30.  A cool wonderful 57, after the heat of summer.
I just sat outside while iwinston sniffed and ran like the wind.
I always tell the gud dugs to run, run like the wind and enjoy the morning sniffs !

But ... there is a HIGH pushing the cool weather north so this afternoon will be 97.
Enough with the summer !

 .

 Eating breakfast.

Japan had a huge Typhoon hit yesterday.
Son said it was the worst winds he could remember.

A  friend sent this photo of the aftermath. David loved this tree. He had to duck under it when walking with Mia in the backpack.  He has so many lovely memories here.
I hope they can save many of the trees.
This is a wonderful place to walk and the little ones to play.

.
Everyone have a good start to the week !

cheers,  parsnip
