Almost over / もうすぐ Dec. 30

Finally, done!
Just came home from work and no more work for this year!
Time goes so fast. 2018 is almost over.
We don't have soba, mochi, or the Japanese traditional food for the new year's day but we are going to spend time having the hot pot with Simba's family tomorrow ;)

終了〜!

今年最後の仕事終わって帰ってきたヨォ。

時間が立つのは早いなぁ〜。もうすぐ2018年も終わりだ。

年越しそばもお節も餅もない家だけど 明日はシンバの家族と鍋して過ごす予定だよ〜!

The photo's from yesterday.
We took walked to the pet supply store to buy Kaiya and Mato's food in the morning.  They got some treats at the cashier and then they never wanted to leave this place. lol

写真は昨日。

朝の散歩しながら KaiyaとMatoのご飯を買いにペットショップまで行ってきたんだけど レジでオヤツをもらったお2人は全然帰りたがらなくて 後ろ髪引かれる思いでシブシブ帰りましたとさ(笑)

Side by side / 並んで Dec. 28

Mommy's work started today.
But it didn't start until the evening so we had a slow start in the morning.
On our morning walk, we took a walk to the post office to get a package.

今日からマミーは仕事が始まった〜。

けど夕方からだから 朝はゆっくり。

朝の散歩は郵便局まで荷物を取りに行ってきたよ。


Then Kaiya started her thing in the middle of no where... lol

したらKaiyaさん急に道の真ん中で始めてくれたよ(笑)



At home, these two were taking a nap side by side.
This is a rare picture I can only take a couple of times a year ;)

お家では珍しく並んでお昼寝。

滅多に起こらない貴重な現象w

Going home / 帰省 Dec. 27

It rained yesterday.  Today it didn't get too cold, either, and the snow in Rättvik became less and less.

The first day we arrived was the coldest and the most beautiful day!

Well, it's time to go home.

Our holiday break seemed very long but at the same time it felt very short.  Anyhow, we had a great time and good rest there.

昨日は雨が降り 今日もそこまで寒くなくどんどん雪が減っていったダーラナ地方。

最初の日が1番寒くて綺麗だったな。

ってことでもう今日はストックホルムに帰る日!

長いような短いような数日間だったけど みんなゆっくりできていい休養ができたよ!


A lot of people were taking the same train.

結構レッドヴィークから電車に乗る人がいたよぉ〜。


Here it comes!

電車来た〜!!!


This train was old model...it wasn't as luxury as the one we had on the way to Rättvik.  Luckily our assigned seats were box seats and no one else came and sat here all the way to Stockholm so Kaiya and Mato could have large space, too ;)))

でも古い型の電車だから 行きの電車見たいな高級感がなかったけど たまたま予約した席がボックス席で他に誰も座ってこなかったから足元広く使えてよかった〜。


We are back in Stockholm!

ストックホルム到着!

Merry Christmas! / メリークリスマス! Dec. 25

We took very easy on the Christmas day.
On the afternoon walk, we walked toward to the red sky.

クリスマスの今日はゆ〜ったり過ごしたよぉ〜。

午後の散歩は お空が赤い方へ向かって。




While we were taking a long walk, the sun went down almost fully.

長い散歩をしてたらすっかり日が暮れちゃったよぉ〜。


Darkness isn't a problem for them.  They ran and played so much!

暗くても走って楽しんでたけどね(´∀`)






Mato took off to little too far by himself.  Simba went to stop him but it seemed like he was left as soon as Mato decided to come back. lol

Matoが1人遠くまで行っちゃって 止めに行ったシンバだったけど置いてこられちゃったよ(笑)


Sorry Simba... he can't catch Mato who is the fastest of the three.

この中だと一番走るの速いMatoだからしょうがないよね(^^;)


And of course, Kaiya waits him to hunt as usual at the other end ;)  It's their thing and they enjoyed it!

そんなMatoを迎え撃つのはいつものごとくKaiya 。これもまた楽しみのひとつだね(*≧∀≦*)

To Rättvik / レットヴィークへ Dec. 24

Hey! Sorry, I was away for more than a couple of days...I got a bad cold...a high fever and couldn't get out of bed from Thursday to Saturday.
I usually get some signal when I get a cold but this time it all started suddenly.  I wasn't ready for it at all.
I'm not 100% yet but 90% recovered now so no worries, guys!
The truth is that I had to be able to walk by today because we were supposed to travel to Rättvik, Dalarna.
Every year we celebrate Christmas with Simba's family at their summer house in Rättvik and I drive 3-4 hours.
This year I didn't wanna drive so we bought the train tickets more than a month ago.  It was a real good idea ;)
The center of Stockholm on Christmas eve morning looks like this.
Bit more snow than the last time I was outside on Thursday.

お久しぶりで〜す!

急な高熱で木曜から土曜まで寝込んでたマミーです(^^;)

いつも風邪を引くときは前触れがあるのに今回は急にきたのでかなりやられた〜・・・。

100%本調子ではないけど 90%くらいまで回復したのでご心配なく!!!

気合いを入れて治したのも 今日はダーラナ地方のレットヴィークへ出かける日!

毎年車で行ってシンバの家族とクリスマスを過ごすのですが 今年は車を運転するのがめんどくさくなってしまったマミーなので 1ヶ月以上前から電車のチケット取ってたの!

病み上がりだったから電車に行くことにしてて ちょーラッキー(^^)

クリスマスイブの朝のストックホルムの中心はこんな感じ。

久しぶりに外に出たらだいぶ白くなってた。


We are here at the Stockholm Centralstation for long distance trains.

長距離電車のターミナルに着いた〜。


We are on the train and let's go!
This train had a car in which dogs were allowed, and of course, we booked our seats there.
The car wasn't big and there weren't many seats than I thought.
There were a huge dog, a middle size dog, a small dog and even a cat :))
Kaiya behaved very well but cocky Mato...he growled at first.  He got used to being with other dogs little by little though.

さて 電車に乗ってしゅっぱーつ!

この長距離の電車はワンちゃんが乗ってもいい車両が決まっていて もちろんそこを予約しましたよぉ。

この車両狭かったけど 大きいワンちゃんや小型のワンちゃんや猫ちゃんまでいた〜!

Kaiyaは全然平気だったけど ガウガウMato君は最初唸って生意気ちゃんだったけどだんだん平気になったよ。
Mato


Yes, of course, Kaiya always wants to sit in the middle of the aisle :(
You know, the ride was quite comfy with spacious legrooms and big comfortable seats.

Kaiyaはいつも通路の真ん中に座りたがる・・・ちょいとお邪魔よ(^^;)

席はなかなかよかったよ〜。

特急あずさやかいじより足元も広ければシートも大きくて超楽チンだった!




We are here!
So much snow!!!  Stockholms snow was nothing!! :p
Simba's daddy and Per came and pick us up :))

レッドヴィーク到着!

ストックホルムと比べ物にならないくらい真っ白〜!!!

シンバのパパとペールが車でお迎えにきてくれたよぉ〜!


As soon as we got home we took off to take a walk.
It was about 3 hours train ride.  We all needed to stretch our legs.

到着したら即お散歩〜。

電車に3時間ちょい乗ってたから 運動 運動〜!




She can't help herself....w

Kaiyaのゴロゴロ即始まる(笑)


It was about -13°C, I think.
Look at everyone's face!!!!  LOL

マイナス13度くらいだったかな?

みんな顔が・・顔が・・顔が〜!!!!wwwwwww
Mato

Kaiya
Simba



Fog.  Couldn't see ahead.

なんだか霧があって前が見えな〜い!



We found someone was taking a walk with dog with the sled.  Looks fun :))

ソリで犬の散歩してる人がいたよ。楽しそう〜。


The fog's gone and finally can see the view!  Beautiful!

徐々に霧が引いて景色が見えてきた〜!綺麗〜



Kaiya and Mato enjoyed the walk without the leash.  They ran a lot!

KaiyaもMatoもノーリードでのびのびお散歩できて よく走ってたよ!







And again.  She can't help herself. lol

そしてまたゴロゴロKaiya(笑)


We had a early dinner.  So much fooooooooood ;)))))

ちょいと早めのディナー!ご馳走いっぱいだったよん♡

Rolling Kaiya / Kaiyaのゴロゴロ Dec. 19

Kaiya started rolling all the sudden this morning.

It seems like she like to do in on the little icy frozen surface... ;)))

Kaiyaのゴロゴロが急に始まった今朝。

少し凍ったアイスバーンの上でゴロゴロしながら滑るのが どうやら好きらしい・・・w

Jealous / 妬ける Dec. 18

When I came back to the bedroom after taking a shower, I saw this...what the heck!?

Lately, Mato's being daddy's boy.

Mommy's little jealous... :((

今朝 シャワー浴びて寝室に戻ると・・・なんじゃこりゃ!?

最近 ダディっ子のMato。

マミー妬けるぜ( ̄^ ̄)


I took Kaiya and Mato to work today.

Taking a walk in the snow was fun but it took longer than usual.

今日は一緒に出勤の日。

雪の降る中 いつもより時間かかったけど頑張って歩いたよぉ〜!


Horses!  They were outside in the snow, too :)

お。お馬さんたちも雪の中外で元気だねぇ〜。


There was one who was interested in Kaiya and Mato and came close to them.

Mato was also very curious about him.

今日はKaiyaとMatoに興味を持って近づいてきた子が・・・。

Matoもすんごく興味津々。


Kaiya, on the other hand...scaredy-cat.. ;p

Kaiyaはと言うこと・・・ビビリやなぁ〜(^^;)


Big flakes were falling this morning :)

今朝は大っきい雪片だったよぉ〜。


Morning walk with Taro / タロとお散歩 Dec. 17

Yay!  Snow piled up!!

雪積もった〜!!
Mato


We bumped into Taro this morning! We took a walk together!

今朝はタロにばったり〜!一緒にお散歩したよぉ〜!


Taro seemed wanting to play with Kaiya and Mato but both of them were busy sniffing around and being a lookout :p

遊んで欲しそうだったタロだけど KaiyaとMatoはなんだかそれぞれ忙しそうにクンクンしたり見張りをしたりw


Snow makes everything beautiful :)))

雪が積もって景色が綺麗だ。
Kaiya

Respective wishes / それぞれの願い Dec. 16

Yappiiii!  Snow!!! 

It snowed whole day that pretty much everything is covered in white now :)))

When we took a walk this morning, it wasn't that much of snow though.

Kaiya's probably wishing more snowfalls ;)

雪だー!雪ちょっと積もったよぉ〜!

今日は1日中細かい雪が降ったから だいぶ白い景色に変わったぁ(*≧∀≦*)

朝の散歩のときはまだそこまで積もってなかったからきっとKaiyaは・・・

"雪よ もっと降れ" って思ってるんじゃないかな(笑)
Kaiya


This one, on the other hand, probably wishing that mommy's gloves would fall. lol

こっちのヒトは多分・・・

"手袋よ 降ってこい" って願いのが強そうだ(笑)(笑)
Mato
