Fun in the Sun

Check out this picture from a few weeks ago in Tokyo at Jonan Park. Notice anything weird? Look closely at the people...more specifically, what they are wearing...in the middle of February...hmmm, something just doesn't seem right when it is over 20 degrees Celcius at a time when it should be about 5 degrees or less...but I'm not complaining. It was an awesome day! Too bad it's been cold and rainy the past 3 or 4 days. It was nice last Sunday though. Papa played golf and it was about 15 degrees. The nice weather didn't really help his game though.

I met a friend at the park. I love the way he sits! I'm not sure of his breed (maybe a Cairn or Yorkshire Terrier?) but he reminds me of an Ewok from Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. He could even pass for a mini Chewbacca.
















I'm trying to learn how to be happy and smile...
Papa says my smile is worse than the Canadian Liberal party leader, Michael Ignatieff...

Mama and papa went out for a Valentines dinner a few weeks ago to an Italian restaurant called Cascina Canamilla. The food was exceptional! The only problem was that the food was so good that mama and papa kept forgetting to take pictures of the dishes so they only have a few.

Today was pretty nice, although it has cooled down a lot recently. We went to Komazawa Park for an hour. I love playing with the big dogs like me! I also made a few other friends. I always get along with Airedales and I was lucky to meet one today.

I also had a race with a French Bulldog. They're a lot faster than they look!













Last night, we watched a Japanese movie called Detroit Metal City, obviously named after the Kiss song Detroit Rock City from their 1976 album Destroyer. It was a pretty funny movie about a small town geek who goes to Tokyo to try to become a pop singer but ends up as the front man for a death metal band and starts to develop multiple personalities. Papa rated it a B on Yahoo! Movies. It might have been a B- but papa liked the cameo appearance by Gene Simmons.

I check your weather on Mom's iPhone and brrrr! We've been around 60F but today! Today was 76 at the beach!!! It was so awesome, I was out all day enjoying the sun while the family went to Hermosa Beach.

We've been hearing about many furkids needing homes because of foreclosures and the families not able to find places that accept dogs. It's all very sad.

Anyhow, gotta run. Gotta go and write a letter to Manny, asking him to not be such a moron. :-)

Love Picasso :)
