Welcome to 2009!

Happy New Years!!!

Wow! 2008 came and went really fast! Mama and papa had a few friends over last night for a New Years Eve kimuchi nabe party. Kimuchi nabe is made by cooking veggies and meat (usually pork and chicken) in a spicy soup in a clay pot. It sure looked and smelled delicious. Too bad dogs can't eat it :-(

Papa found a great deal on strawberries a few days ago. They were about $2 each. Yes, "each", not for a pack...
They have special lighting for Tokyo Tower this week:
Here are a few Christmas presents I received this year. The first is from papa's sister and the second is from my mama! It took me 1 minute and 18 seconds to make a hole in the toy. Fortunately, mama was able to fix it and it has held up pretty well since.
Papa doesn't like when I chew the sofa so he was upset at me...I don't like when papa gets upset at me...









But I do like when papa lets me sleep on the sofa with him!






Mama had to work last week and this week. Since papa took the past few weeks off, he took me to Yoyogi Park a couple of times. I made a bunch of friends including 2 other Jack Russell Terriers and a couple of doggies who were much smaller than me. This JRT was a lot of fun. We chased each other around for a while and then started picking on a Husky. This was us planning the attack...I still get the feeling I'm being followed sometimes...I thought we were at a park for dogs but someone let a bear in...
And once in a while I pick a fight with the wrong doggie. I felt bad because I obviously had an unfair size advantage over the Doberman...but I didn't realize he was in the military... Then this crazy Afghan started following me around......so I decided to tease him! Hahaha!


I wish everyone a Happy New Years and hope your 2009 is filled with health, happiness and love!!!

Hey Roots...can't believe you already put a hole in the toy I sent you. I went looking all over for a sturdy/tough toy. I guess I'll have to keep looking for one that's Jack Russell proof!

Uptight owners around here must have picketed City Hall because we have areas for the big dogs and a separate area for the smaller, under 30 pound dogs.

Did you know your Mama and Papa say you're a "Jack Russell Terror"??!! It's ok, I'm referred to as the "mini-mutt".

Happy New Year,
