Tracking mode

Guess where we went today!?

The woods!!!

Since I had a day off and we hadn't been there for really long time, 

I prepared my camera and took off!

But...she started to sniff around intensively even before we got to the woods.

It seemed like she was tracking something...

Hmm...if she's like this, she wouldn't listen to me...

especially when she encounters some wild animals....

I held up the idea of letting Kaiya off the leash and kept going into the woods with leash on.

She became obsessed with tracking more and more.

Sorry Kaiya, I don't think I can trust you enough to take off your leash today.

Well, you keep tracking Kaiya, I follow you then!!! :)

It was quite work keeping it up with Kaiya.

She went those narrow spaces in between trees,

went down rocky hill where everything was covered with snow and hard to tell 

where to put your foot after foot...

That was really a good exercise!

I guess I can skip going to the gym today, huh? lol

By the way, she did a good job tracking the smell.

I saw the foot prints of probably deer and rabbits on snow

and she took me to the places where a lot of wild animals' feces were.

Even harder work for me not to step on these when we were passing by...lol

Anyways, there's no way I could get my camera out and take good photos...

The only thing I could do was to pull out the smartphone from the pocket

and take photos with one hand :(

本日　久しぶりに森へ行ってみました！

何せ仕事が休みだったもので(^^)

しっかりカメラも持って出たはいいけど

Kaiyaさん森に着く前からすんごく追跡モードに入ってしまって

クンクンしまくって　何かの臭いを追っている様子

う〜ん・・・この様子だと今日は言うこと聞きそうにないなぁ〜

シカかウサギなんかが出てきたら一発で消えちゃいそうだしな・・・

いつもリードを外すところで外さないで

暫くリードをしたまま森へ入ることにしてみた

どうやら先客がいて　人とワンちゃんの姿が一番高い岩の上に見えた

そしてKaiyaさんの追跡モードは勢いを増すばかり

申し訳ないけど　今日は放せないな

ってことで　私も一緒に追跡！！

Kaiyaのスピードに合わせて　行ったり来たり　

細い木と木の間を行ったり　雪で隠れて見にくい石のゴロゴロしてるとこを下ってみたり

あ〜　いい運動になった(^^)

ちなみにKaiyaさん　しっかり追跡してた

足跡でもなんとなくわかったけど　

途中でちゃんとシカだったりウサギの糞が溜まってるとこに連れてってくれたよ〜

そしてウンピーを躱して歩くのが大変だったよぉ〜

せっかく持って行ったカメラも出す暇なく　

結局スマートフォンのカメラだけで終わっちゃった(^^;)

Wow, she's standing!
Saw something back there?
あっ　立った！
なんか　向こうにいたのかなぁ？？

Before we went on the way home, we went on the icy lake.

Ever since she learned she could walk on the ice last year from daddy,

she just goes on without hesitation.

I'm way heavier than Kaiya...thrilled to walk on the ice...lol

最後は氷が張った　湖の上で遊んだ

去年ダディが氷の上を歩くことを教えてから　ひょいひょい氷の上に行っちゃうよね

こっちはKaiyaより全然重いから　

大丈夫だろうかとハラハラしながら後ついて行ってみた（笑）

Daddy also had a day off so we went out late afternoon.

Kaiya had to stay home alone though.

We went to eat pizza which uncle Kay recommended.

This place has an eco grocery store on the first floor and a half of second floor.

The other half of the second floor had a little food court 

with a pizza place, a burger place, and a caffe.

This pizza place also serves eco and healthy menu.

The price is little higher than the usual pizza we order but it's soooo worth it!!!

I'm not vegetarian but I ordered a veg pizza somehow.

It was sooooooo good and I was so satisfied!!

ダディも仕事が休みだったから

夕方からちょっとお出かけ

Kaiyaさんはお留守番です

ケイおじさんオススメのピザを食べに行ってきましたぁ！

エコなお店　１階と２階の半分は食品を売っているスーパーで

２階の半分がカフェとピザ屋とバーガー屋があるフードコートな感じ

エコでヘルシー重視のメニューで　ちょっと普段のピザより値が張るけど

それだけの価値あり！

珍しく　ベジタリアンのピザなんて注文しちゃったけど

美味しかったぁ〜〜〜〜

We found a cafe right across the street from the pizza place.

And we saw a guy with his dog inside the cafe.

Daddy went in and asked if it is always ok coming in with dogs.

They said dogs were welcomed!

Yes!! This was a nice discovery!

I hear a lot of restaurants and cafes in Japan where you can bring your dogs with.

But here in Sweden, I seldom find these places.

Next time, we bring Kaiya here!!!

ピザを食べたとこの向かえにカフェがあって　ふと中を見たら犬と同伴の人がいた！

聞いてみたら　ワンちゃんウエルカムなカフェ！

いいとこ発見！！！

飲食店は今日本の方がワンちゃんが入れるとこが多いんじゃないかなぁ

こっちでなかなかないよねぇ・・・

次はKaiyaも連れてこのカフェきてみよっと！
