It was such a fine day and we had a great fun at our backyard!
と～っても良いお天気
裏山でそれぞれに楽しんだ一日
Here, I usually have to give him somehting to prevent his making a great escape!
これ、ジョシュアの逃亡防止のためには必要なもの．．．
See?! Even his mother Viola cannot take it from him...
That much he likes it, and thus not to think of escaping, right?!
母親のヴァイオラが来ても絶対に渡さないジョシュア、
そのくらい好きなものでないと逃亡防止にはならないんですよね～．．．
OH! Torenia got it!
トレニアがゲット～
Even Emma joined for the battle!
エマちゃんも参戦！
They are happy ones no matter what.
みんなほのぼの．．．幸せな日
Somehow, totally slipped from my mind but
today is the birthday of Duke and Shall!
And guess what?! They are now 7 years old...!
色々あって完全に忘れていたんですが．．．
なんと今日はデュークとシャルの７歳のお誕生日～！
But then since I completely forgot about it and of course
Duke nor Shall said anything about it,
and so I've decided not to bake any cake...as of lately my usual thing...
Anyway, instead I gave them BONES!
でも、いまさらケーキを焼くのは遅すぎる？！
（いや単に面倒だったわけでは．．．）
というわけで、またまたボーンで我慢してもらうことにしました☆
Shall knows how to hold his goodies and see how well he chew it?!
シャルはボーンを抱え込んで美味しそうに堪能～！
Duke was a bit clumsy when eating bone...
Maybe he was distracted since others were stairing sooooo hard at his bone!
デュークはちょっぴり不器用にボーンを食べます．．．
ま、みんなから凝視されてたら仕方ないかな．．．
Well, others got a bit in the end
though I don't think they were satisfied...
他の子達もちっちゃいおこぼれをもらいました♪
ま、ちっちゃすぎて満足したとは思いませんけどね．．．
Woke up and surprised for sure!
朝起きてびっくり．．．！
Snow now???
Oh well... it's quite wet snow and impossible to go out...
この時期に雪？！
でもかなりの湿雪なので、みんなが外で遊ぶのは無理．．．
Even Baby Jane and Charles got bored coz they couldn't have fun in snow...
ベイビィとチャールズも退屈．．．
せっかくの雪なのに外で行き遊びができないなんて、ちと残念．．．
But you see, if they all play in the wet snow,
I have to wash them all 10 of them...
Surely, that would kill me...
でもね．．．
もしこんな湿った雪の中で暴れたら
１０匹全員を洗う羽目になる．．．
そんなことをしたら死んでしまうので無理～～
We had wonderful visitors today!
んふふ、今日は．．．
Baby Jane and Charles came back to stay over for the night!
島根のベイビィとチャールズの一泊お里帰り
Oops, Charles got a bit too intimidated by his mother checking him...
おぉっと．．．チャールズ、エマママに厳しい目でチェックされてドキドキ．．．ジョジョ．．．
I thought it would be a good oppotunity to have a nice greeting for kids,
and so Joshua and Torenia went to greet them first!
ジョシュアとトレニアにとってはとてもよい挨拶勉強～！
とにかく挨拶・あいさつ
WELL DONE everyone!
みんなよくできました～
Joshua loves to play and have fun, so he simply loves to have any companies to play with!
ジョシュアは遊ぶの大好き！
なので誰とでも一緒に遊びたい
Joshua: "Charlesy~, come up here and play, PLEAAAASE!"
ジョシュア： 「チャ～ルズ兄、こっちあがってきて遊ぼうよぉ～！」
Don't you think they are looking alike?!
なんだかとってもよく似ているこのお二方．．．
And when they had fun for a while without the boss Duke...
そして、ボスのデュークのいない間に思う存分楽しんだ後は．．．
Duke the boss joined in!
あれに見えるはデューク～～～！
Well, Charles grew bigger than his grandpa Duke by now...!
体はおじいちゃんのデュークよりもすでに大きくなってるチャールズ！
But then Duke is the boss among doggies IN our ground, right?!
でも、我が家の土地ではデュークは犬達の中では一番強い！
Charles was checked by him thoroughly...
チャールズは徹底的にチェックされ．．．
Duke: "Well, he's a good boy all right."
デューク： 「よしっ、彼は合格です！」
Anyway, we had quite a fun with 2 addition among us wildies for a long time
and thus, we slept well...
ま、ベイビィ・ジェーンとチャールズも混じって
長い間しっかり遊び
夜もしっかり眠れたのでした
Fine day,
that means we are all to have some fun together in our backyard!
良いお天気！
ということは、今日はみんなで裏山でお楽しみ～
Yap, these are my lovele wildies!
我が家のワイルディーズ勢揃い
See? In our area, flowers of Japanese apricot started to bloom but not yet cherry blossom.
我が家の庭ではや～～～っと梅の花が咲き始めました☆
桜はまだまだです。
Well, you may know... or not...
Anyway, Joshua's master is my brother, u know.
Thus, see his joyful face besides his master?!
ジョシュアのエピソード．．．ってほどでもないけど．．．
とにかくジョシュアの《ご主人様》は我が兄
大好きなご主人様と一緒のジョシュア、
満面の笑みです
Um... Torenia's master is...
I have no idea...
トレニアのご主人様は．．．
う～む．．．誰だろう．．．
Like yesterday, Duke and Joshua & Torenia were with me on the walk.
BUT...?!
今日も昨日のようにジョシュアとトレニア、デュークと一緒にお散歩☆
でも．．．？！
Duke knows how to behave without collar and lead,
he can go free a little while.
んふふ、しつけの行き届いているデュークは自由あり
Sure... CHILDREN don' understand why Duke can go free but not them...
もちろん、デュークだけ自由なのに納得いかない子供達．．．
But see?!
Duke always comes back when I call him...
And Duke never goes beyond my sight...
And Duke can stay when I tell him so...
でもね．．．
デュークは呼んだら絶対戻ってくるし．．．
私の視界から見えないところには行かないし．．．
止まっててって言ったらステイできるけどね．．．
BUT
I can tell you!
Once Joshua and Torenia get off from lead,
they are definitely gone beyond my sight and wouldn't come back till they are satisfied...
ジョシュアとトレニアは離れたら最後．．．
勝手に好きなところにダッシュして
まったく私の目の届かないところまで遊びに行って
自分達が満足するまで絶対に帰ってこないでしょ
Well... once they did their great escape,
they cannot be free even in our yard for a day...
ま、大脱走をした日には
敷地内でも自由はなしの子供達なのでした．．．
A bit later than usual today in the afternoon
and so I had to jog a little!
But today, Duke was with us!
いつもよりも少し遅くなってしまった夕方．．．
なのであちこちで小走りする羽目に．．．
でも今日はジョシュアとトレニアと一緒にデュークも
Hum... I took these photos with my Cell and I guess not as good as my camera...
Oh well, at least you can see how well they behaved and I kinda had to run a bit.
う～む、やはり携帯写真はぶれぶれですな．．．
ま、ジョシュアとトレニアの良いお散歩マナーと
ちょっと小走りの様子は分かってもらえるかな☆
OH... here's my little secret gizmo to make them behave well...
あ．．．これこれ、ジョシュアとトレニアのしつけに役立つニュートリスタッド．．．
The sun started to set and we ran and ran to catch the last light of the day between the mountains!
お日様が山陰に隠れようとしていたので
全力疾走～！
今日最後のお日様を山の間からキャッチ
WE GOT IT!
間に合った～～
Well, let's go home before getting dark...
さて、暗くなる前に帰りましょ
So, we had quite a long walk with kids today!
Oh yeah, it's the long long winding mountain road we went under the such a hot sun...!
さて、今日のお散歩は
照りつける太陽の下、
ジョシュアとトレニア連れて「秘密の山道お散歩コース」へ！
since they are still kids,
they don't mind the hot sun.
ジョシュアもトレニアも
まだまだお子ちゃまなので、暑い太陽は気にしな～い☆
Going for their walky is what's important for them...
お散歩に行けるというだけで嬉しいわけですわ☆
Hum, I guess they are getting better to walk besides me in good manner these days!
だんだんとお散歩マナーが身についてきたジョシュアとトレニア、
私の横について歩くことができるようになってきました♪
But their attention span is quite short...
oh well, they are still kids, aren't they?!
あ～、彼らの注意力はまだまだ長いことは続かないんですけどね～．．．
ま、「こども」ですから．．．
See the road way up there in the mountain?!
That's where we are headin'!
遠くに見える道が分かります？！
あそこまでがんばって歩いていきます！
And here we are!!!
We've reached the middle point...
そして、見えていた道までたどり着いたので記念撮影～！
でも、ここは家に帰るまでには半分の地点．．．
Well, we are young, aren't we?!
So we went on and on till we reached home after about...
less than an hour!
ここからまだまだある道のり、
若さで家へ帰り着くまでがんばるのだ～！
と、約４０分後くらいに家に到着．．．
And as you can guess,
we were dead when we got home...
even if we were young...
もちろん．．．
家に帰るとヘロヘロ～．．．
「若さ」があってもヘロヘロでした．．．
こっちのブログはそうとう長い間ほっぽらかしにしていましたが、
仔犬達がもうそろそろ「大人」になってきているので
我が家のワイルディーズの一員としてこちらに日々の様子をアップします
仔犬達のブログもたまには更新するかも．．．
