Mani Makes Lots of Effort

T T Oniichan is sitting quietly , enjoying his afternoon nap on the chair.

There is a rustling behind the chair, what is that?

TT Oniichan knows exactly who is making that annoying rustling!!!


"WRRRR," he says.

"It's Me, TT Oniichan!
Wanna play???"

"Wrrrrrrr" , TT Oniichan says in a low growl.

"Come on, Please play with me!!!"
Mani says.

Mani hides again, but shows a little tail.

"Come chase me!!!"

TT Oniichan refuses !!!


Well, it worked ONCE with Frankie Onechan!
She actually chased Mani!!

Doesn't hurt to keep trying!

Hiro Sleeping Buddy

It was Mieszky!
He's Patient, Gentle, and doesn't mind noise!

Frankie When She Puts Her Mind to It

I would say that Frankie is almost as clever as Hime or Mieszky.

she is very alert and she seems to understand a lot.

but she's too busy growling, or hissing, or ignoring me on purpose!

but when she is in a good mood ("Kew!") she is very able! But that happens only once in a while!!

Easter with Walter

Hime Came To See Me

There was a black cat sitting on my lap.

She was short
(shorter than long Indie)
and she did a big Roll on my lap with her legs curled up and her arms stretched,
and she looked at me.
It was HIME!!!

She had the proud Hime look on her face when she is discovering new things, doing mischievious things ,
she would say, "Hey look at me, I'm so creative! "

I said to Shane in my dream,

"Look! It's Hime! She's doing her roll! "

It's the first time she ever came to me in my dream.

She looked very excited like she normally does when her mind is thinking.
Like that time we got that 300 yen scratching post from Japan.
She instantly went on it, and did not even hesitate to scratch it!

Also like the time
she saw me wearing my new £300 sheepskin leather jacket,

she approved the leather quality straight away,
and scratched the shoulder of the leather jacket ,
WHILE I was wearing it!!

It's so great to see you Hime!
And you still have that mischief proud look on her face!

MISCHIEF MANAGED!!!

Mani turning into FIERCE SHRIMP!!

He is not your typical softie,
he is actually very strong like a dwarf!

If you pick him up without his approval,
he curls up his short wide torso
to get his bunny feet into your arms
and KICK YOU !!!!

Mani Mani.
Softie and Vicious,

how could the two exist??

Butterscotch Frankie

Sometimes she blends in with the fallen leaves on the ground,
sometimes she looks like a butterscotch brownie!

Frankie is so cute when she is sleeping!

We were telling her our wish for the kids to get a medal today,
and lo, and behold!...she listened!!
She does hear you, when she really wants to!

Thank you Ryujin Princess!
