Joshua & Isabelle puppies Day 137

昨夜また雨が...
午前中はドロドロすぎてどうにも外は無理...
でも昼前にまた苦肉の策で...

Gosh, it raind last night AGAIN...
So it was too muddy to do anything during the morning hours...
But around noon, I did try my best 
so that puppies can go out...





あ...

Um...



な、なんでわざわざ何も敷いてないところで寝そべるのさ～～～～

Why did you have to sleep where there's no rug?!

綺麗好きなセスはどこへ行ったのだ...

I thought... I BELIEVED puppies didn't like to get dirty...



そ、そんな笑顔見せたって...

And he smiles such a lovely smile...huh?!













こら～～～っ
洗濯ものに飛びついたらダメ

NOOOOOO
Don't you dare jump up to the clean laundries





要水洗い...

Need to be washed well...







今日は特製ハンバーグを作った

Well, today I made a special meal for them.



牛レバー入りのおからハンバーグで
栄養たっぷり...

I put beef liver and tofu refuse
so it is very nutritious...



なのに...

but...



ニーナが狙っているのは...

Nina was actually trying to...



私が食べている...

get what I was eating...



チーズがたっぷりのったピザ...
もちろん、あげなかったけど...

a small slice of pizza with extra cheese...!
Well... of course I DIDN'T give it to her!



ピザがもらえなかったから仕方なく食べてくれたけど、
なんて贅沢に育ってるんだ...

She gave up my pizza in the end and ate my special meal...
But who taught her to beg MY food?!





湿度が高いのでエアコンはつけっぱなし...
蒸し暑い外で過ごした後は
快適な部屋でゆっくりお休み☆

夜11時頃...
外は結構な雨が降っている...
明日もまた外には出られないかもなぁ...

It's so humid and thus we had to keep
our air conditioning on all day...
Well, at least after puppies spent long hours in humid environment,
they slept well in a comfortable room.

It's around 11 at night now...
And as the sound of it, raining very hard...
Hmmm, it will be quite muddy outside again tomorrow...

Joshua & Isabelle puppies Day 136

グラウンドはドロドロ...
でもパピー達を外で運動させたいので...

Our ground was so muddy...
But I wanted to let my puppies out for their exercise...



苦肉の策を練って対策してみた...☆

so I had to take a desperate measure!



これなら何とか泥だらけにはならないかな～

So, I guess they are probably safe from getting too muddy...



でもね...
湿度が高すぎて走る気にはなかなかなれない...

But then...
It was too humid to run or do any kind of exercise...







太陽のちからでグラウンドを乾かしている途中...

I hoped to dry our ground by the sun!



けど、思ったほど乾かなかったので
真砂土を買ってきて上から整備してみた...

But the sun wasn't strong enough to dry up our ground
so I bought dry dirt and spread it over the muddy part.





























午後の運動はなんとかこなしてくれたから良し

They did their afternoon exercise well!



ディーナがヒート中でオスどもは興奮の真っ最中...

Deanna is in full mating season and of course
out males are so excited to be near her...



セスとニーナは「興奮している＝楽しい」という感覚みたい

But Seth and Nina mistook their excitement as having FUN!











セスはこれで大人の仲間入りをしてるつもりらしい...

Seth thinks he has joined in the adult group now...

Joshua & Isabelle puppies Day 135

朝から雨...
予報ではこれから先は雨続き...

Raining a lot...
And it will continue raining for a while
according to our weather forecast...





パピー達は外に出られずつまらない...
大人達の真似をして
フローリングで寝て気分転換？

Puppies got so bored, of course...
And they tried to immitate what adults were doing
and slept on the floor for a change?



兄のお薬を狙ってるけど、絶対ダメだよ

Oh boy... he's aiming to get my brother's medications
but definitely NOT





狭いところで暴れたら怒られるので
兎にも角にもつまらな～い...

When they started to run indoor,
they had to stop because they are too big to play indoor now
and dangerous....
So of course, they ARE bored...

そして、これから先ず～っとこの状態が続くのか？
と不安になっていたら...

And then I was kind of worried 
if we had to stay indoor for such a long time
but then...



夕方には雨が止んでいたので
パピー達だけ特別に外へ

It stopped raining in the late afternoon,
so I just let puppies out!
YES, ONLY puppies!





























嬉しいよね～

Oh, he's sooo happy!



しっかり暴れてエネルギー消費しておいてね

You should run as much as possible and 
spend your all charged up energy, all right?!













パピー達は綺麗好きだから安心、安心☆

I hadn't worried about them getting dirty
coz they don't like to get dirty, right?!







げっ

What?!



せ、セスは綺麗だよね

You... YOU are not muddy, right????



雨上がりのきちゃないグラウンドを侮っていた私...

I... uh... made light of the ground after the heavy rain...



あ～～～～～～っ

OH NOOOOOOOOooooo...





パピー達のシャンプー決定～

Ok, ok, I should shampoo them both!



セスはシャンプーはあまり好きじゃない...

Seth doesn't like to be shampooed...



なんと、今回初シャンプーだったニーナは
黙ってじっと耐えて良い子にしてくれてた

It was actually Nina's very first shampoo today
but Nina didn't complain and stayed still for me and behaved so well!

さて、最後に今日は久々にティアの写真が

Oh, I've got Tia's picture today!



おしゃべり達者なティアの口封じはパンらしい...

Super duper talkative Tia can be silenced by bread...

朝の煮干しを食べた後は
今日は運動をする気分になった?!

After their early morning appetizer of dried fish,
puppies seemed to be motivated enough to do their exercise today!













セスは手足がかなり太くて大きい
ジョシュアパパよりも大きくなってくれるかな～

Seth's feet are big and strong!
I do hope Seth will grow bigger than his daddy Joshua!







セス...もう体が大きいから
その下には入り込めないんじゃないの...？

My Seth... I believe you are too big
to be able to crowl under there...



美味しいものおねだり中のニーナ

Nina, hard at work of begging some goodies.









そうそう...

Oh, you know...



今ちょうど奥歯が生え変わっている途中のようで...

their molar seems to be loosed now and...



硬いものを食べる時には...

When they eat something hard,



四苦八苦している感じ...

they are kind of struggling a bit...







あ～～～
親子そろってハンサムな顔を撮ろうとしたのに
親子そろって変な顔になった...

Oh dear me...!
I wanted to take the handsome father and son photo
BUT
they are in unison of funny faces...











最近はセスの遊び噛みが激しくなってきているようで
ニーナが大げさにキャンキャン言う術を覚えたみたい...
でも本気で痛い時とは声音が違うからすぐわかるんだけどね

These days, Seth's biting gets stronger than before
and Nina learns to scream quite exaggeratedly now...
But then her tone of voice is different when she is really hurt,
so I know when she's exaggerating...

Joshua & Isabelle puppies Day 133

今日も気温や湿度は昨日と変わらずだけど
昨日よりはアクションあった
から、写真も昨日よりは沢山撮ってた

The temperature and humidity was
almost the same as yesterday
but somehow today
puppies weren't slow and thus
I did take many photos of them!































今日はトレニアがパピー達と一緒に遊んであげてた

Torenia was trying to play with pups today!





トレニアは母親のヴァイオラに似ているのか
自分と近い血縁関係の子達はかなり好きみたい

Torenia's liking toward close relatives
is just like her mother Viola!







日向ぼっこするのも系統がある感じ...

Hmm, the sun bathing traits may be inherited... you see?!





今日はお昼にお隣さんから新鮮ブロッコリーがやってきた

My neighbor gave us very fresh broccoli in the afternoon!



パピー達の父親のジョシュアはブロッコリーが大好きなので
あげてみたら、セスはかなり好きみたい

Puppies' father Joshua LOVES broccoli,
so I wanted to see if puppies like it.
As you can see,
Seth loves broccoli!!!





ニーナ：　「知ってると思うけど、これ、散らかしたのはわたしじゃないから...」

Nina: "You may know it, but I didn't make this mess...!"



はい、散らかしてるのはセス...

Yup, Seth is the one who's making such a mess...



夕方のアデルとセスのほのぼのシーン

In the late afternoon,
Adelle and Seth were cuddled up together!





セス：　「アデたんって重たいんだけど...」

Seth: "Adell is... heavy, you know..."



うん、アデルは48キロもあるからね...
仕方ないと思うよ...

I know... 
Her weight is about 48 kg...
So I guess she cannot help it...
