The Beach on Monday Morning

I took Lupikona to the beach for...

a morning walk.

Both Kona and...

Lupita walked very happily.

"Let’s play, Kona!"

"Yipee!"

This is fun!

This is fun!

We're glad that we came here!

Morning at the Beach House

Stretch!

First, the two dogs fell asleep on the deck.

Then...

"Can you take me to the beach?"

Beach on Sunday

We came to our beach house.

Lupikona played on the beach and...

ran with Scott.

The beach is great!

Guest from Seattle

One of my best friends from Seattle visited us yesterday and stayed at our house.

Good morning, Kona.

We went for a walk together this morning.

It was lovely to have one of my best friends around. Lupikona walked with her and seemed to be having fun.

Thanks for visiting us, A-chan. Have a great time during the rest of your stay in Japan.

"I’m sorry I barked at you! Please come to see us again!"

Kona’s Fourth Birthday

It’s Kona’s fourth birthday today.

Kona held her birthday present, a stuffed squirrel, in her mouth.

We gave Lupita a stuffed raccoon too. Everyone gets a toy.

When Kona was playing with one toy...

the other toy looked attractive...

so she wanted to get it and play with it.

Oh, Kona...

where are you going with both toys in your mouth?

Lupita was watching as Kona...

played with both toys.

That’s better. You have to share the toys with your sister.

"Yippee! I have my toy back!"

Happy birthday, Kona. I hope you will have many smiling days with Lupita.

Summer Day

We had a “summer day” with temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius in Tokyo. The highest temperature reached 27 degrees Celsius.

The past few days, the temperature has fluctuated a lot. Please pay attention to keeping yourself in good shape.

Lupikona went to bed early. Good night!

Yellow Iris

Unlike yesterday, it was marvelously sunny today.

The yellow iris in the park shined in the sun.

The good weather made Lupita feel...

happy!
