Deep Growl

When jumping up her paws sometime snag my earbuds cord and breaks them. Probably shouldn't allow her to do this kind of playing, but it's just as much fun for me as it is her!

Hope Dale will continue having fun playing tug-'o-war with me for many years to come after she passes the puppy phase. 

Kids walking nearby or off in a short distance probably freak out when they hear her deep growl when she plays tug-'o-war with me. She sounds like a wolf killing it's prey!

Snack Time

Sitting on my chair with her new dog snack.

Wonder why she likes to chew her snacks on my chair.

Holding her snack in her paws.

Nice effect brings out her eyes.

Fruit Grove

Spring flower hanging out in front of neighbor's house.

Spring is starting to show her colors.

Sun shining through a nearby bamboo grove.

She's feeling a bit warm this evening.

Playing in the grass and looking for something to bite or chew.

Strolling through a fruit tree grove.

Beautiful eyes!

Underpass

Afternoon walk in the tunnel again.

This tunnel is actually an underpass of the Yokoyoko Expressway.

Bamboo Spring

Morning dog walk in a nearby bamboo grove.

Break time in the bamboo grove.

The path in this grove is well-trodden, but I have never seen another soul here.

Love how bamboo can grow just about anywhere.

This tree has the slickest bark I have ever seen.

Same tree as above.

Looking behind the path into the bamboo grove.

If not well maintained, bamboo and grow and overtake any spare ground space.

Exiting the bamboo grove.

A farmer's home as seen from the top of the hill where the bamboo grove is located.

Spring is getting closer and closer.

Taking a break in a nearby tunnel.

Playing with the broom back at the apartment after the morning dog walk.

Valentine's Day

Evening dog walk. View of Minato Mirai in the background as seen from a local cemetery.

Cold Morning Rainbow

All bundled up for Dale's morning walk.

An anti-selfie selfie.

Dorky rainbow effect on the iPhone.

Hard to get her to sit still long enough for even one decent shot! :-)

Was a nice warm morning regardless of the time of year.
