Hide and seek

Kaiya was into something when we were in the dog park this morning.

Hehehe, time to do  hide-and-seek! :)

I hid myself behind a tree on the other side from Kaiya in the dog park.

Since she was soooo into whatever she was doing,

she actually didn't notice I wasn't in her sight for a while.

Out of blue, she looked up and looked around.

"Where's mommy!?!?"

She started to walk slowly towards my side carefully looking around. 

Kaiyaさんが　ドッグランの隅の方で一生懸命何かしてたから

ドッグランの反対側の隅の木の陰に隠れてみた（笑）

久しぶりのかくれんぼ(^. ^)

夢中になってたから　けっこう長い間　私の姿がないのに気づかなかったけど

ふと　気づいたらしく　あたらりを見回して　

"あれ　マミーいない！！！"

キョロキョロしながら　のそのそこちらの方に向かってくる

"Mommy, where are you??"
"マミー　どこぉ〜？？"

"Found you!!!!!"
"見つけた！！！！！"

"You are soooo mean, mommy. 
 I thought you were gone...:("
"いなくなったかと思ってビックリしたワーン
マミーのイジワル〜"

She only cuddles when something like this happens :p

こんな時くらいしか　甘えないKaiyaさんなのでした〜(^^;)

I need quality time with Kaiya!

I've worked 16 days  in a row.
These couple of days were super busy... :(
Tomorrow's gonna be the 17th day but only need to work a half day and then finally day off the day after!!!!!

Thanks to this hectic schedule, I have NOT spent enough quality time with Kaiya!!!! :(
I've never missed the morning walk though!
But that was the only one I took her out....daddy took her out for the rest of walks.
Thank you daddy for doing this even though your foot hurts!!!

This morning I didn't have to go to work early in the morning so I got up early enough that I could take a bit long walk with Kaiya.
About one and a half hour we were out and went to the dog park in Solna, too!
There wasn't anyone there today.
Kaiya and I ran together and had fun!


１６日間休みなしで働き詰めでーす！
しかも　この数日めちゃめちゃ忙しい(>_<)
それも明日が最後！
明日半日働いて　明後日は休み！！！！

ここんとこKaiyaとすごしたり散歩したりする時間が全然なかったぁ〜
朝の散歩だけはかかさず行ってたけど　一日中仕事だったからあとの散歩は全部ダディと・・・
足痛いダディなのにありがとぉ！

でも今朝はちょいと遅出勤だったから　早めに起きて　仕事行く前に１時間半ちょいくらい散歩いってきたぞぉ！！！
いつものSolnaのドッグランまで行ってきたよぉ〜
誰もいなかったから　Kaiyaと２人で追いかけっこして遊んだぁぁぁ！

Vacation is over for everyone!

Swedish vacation season is bit earlier than other countries, I think.

It starts the beginning of July to the beginning of August.

When we took walks in July, I felt it was very quiet and less people outside.

I guess a lot of people were out of town traveling or staying in their summer houses in countryside.

We didn't see  a lot of those dogs we usually see in the park or on the streets taking walks .

Anyways, since yesterday it's back to normal schedule for me and my work began in the morning.

What I noticed during the morning walks is that there are more people  and 

more doggies taking walks:)

スウェーデンの夏休みの時期はちょっと早めで　だいたい７月頭から　８月頭くらいまで

７月中の散歩は　なんだか静かな感じだった

きっとみんな旅行やら　町から離れたとこにあるサマーハウスに行ってたんだろーなぁ

　いつもすれ違ったりする近所の見慣れた散歩中のワンちゃんたちに会うことも少なく

全体的に　人も少ない感じだった

今週に入ってから　私も仕事が朝からに戻って　朝の散歩のときに人が増えたような気が

昨日と今日で　Kaiyaも散歩中に友達にいっぱい会ったよぉ〜

Yesterday morning!
met Chilly...first time in a couple of weeks!!!
昨日の朝
数週間ぶりにシリィに会った♡

Kaiya was super happy and wanted to play with him
but Chilly wasn't in the mood to play with her:p
Kaiyaはめちゃめちゃうれしがってたけど
シリィは遊ぶモードじゃなかったみたい(^^;)

This is from this morning.  with Max.
これは今朝　マックス君と

They played together a little and then they became busy doing something by themselves.
ちょっとだけ一緒に遊んだけど　後はそれぞれなにかやることを見つけたらしい（笑）

When we were walkning by the water, Simba joined our walk!
いつもの水辺を歩いてたら後ろからシンバが！

Walked together for a while.
ちょっと一緒にお散歩〜

After saying bye to Simba, we met Arrow !
シンバと歩いた後は　今度はアロー君に会ったよぉ〜

Mommy got mad!!!

Today's morning walk was to the wood right next to the lake Lötsjön.

Lately Kaiya is interested in little kids.

Sometimes she tries to run after them.

And those kids who saw her trying to follow them got scared and cried or even screamed... :(

Totally no harm....didn't mean to do that.  She only wanted to play with them.  That's all...but seeing kids crying because of Kaiya doesn't give me any good feelings. 

When we got to the wood, there was a family with kids hiking in the wood...

Hmm I didn't think it's good idea to let her run all over the wood.

We went to the opposite end from where the family went so she wouldn't bother them when she ran.

Although she didn't bother that family, I got sooooo mad at her today because she didn't really listen to me.

I commanded her "wait" but when I went closer to her she moved and didn't stay still....probably she wanted to play with me.

She has to listen to me at all time.

It was nothing compared to the amount of time when I usually let her run freely but I put her on leash and left the wood.

今朝はここ！ Lötsjön湖の横にある小さな森！

実は最近小さい子供にちょっと興味があるらしいKaiya

たまに追っかけそうになって　追っかけられそうになっちゃう子供はビックリして泣き叫んじゃうなんてことが・・・

ただ遊びたいだけのKaiya・・・害はないけど　泣かれたらこっちが困っちゃう

この森行ったら珍しく子連れの家族がいた

Kaiyaさんをそっち側に行かせないようにちょっとずれた場所で走らせてあげてたんだけど

今日は言うこときかんちん！

待ての合図に反応するけど　遊んで欲しいらしく　近づくと動いて離れていく・・・

こらこらーーー！！！待て解除してないぞ！！！（怒）

子供の方には行かなかったけど　言うこと聞かないKaiyaにマミー激怒！！！

ゲンコツー！！！

いつもより全然短いリードなしの走る自由時間だったけど　そっこ切り上げ！

After we left the wood, we made detour to do a long walk to go home.

森のあとは遠回りをしてお家へ帰ったよぉ〜

Yes, she did it again!
Suddenly lay down and refused to go.
Well, we did a 2-hour walk and I know you are tired
but it's almost home.  You can do it!!
本日の動かない攻撃
まぁ　２時間以上散歩したからな
でも　もうちょっとで家だ がんば！

While I was working in the early evening, Kaiya, daddy, uncle Kay, Simba and Simba's family grilled out by the wood.

I only enjoyed the left over food from them when I got home... :(

夕方から私が仕事をしている時に　Kaiyaとダディは ケイおじさん、シンバ、シンバの家族と森の近くでバーベキューしに！

あぁいいなぁ〜・・・家帰ってきてから　残り物の肉をたらふく頂きました〜(^^;)

Kaiya's turn to wait for me;p

Yup, it's the same same again!

The dog park in Solna!  Kaiya got to play with this guy today!

No one came after he left so I ran and played with her!

I guess not a lot of people are out early on saturday morning

....well it was already passed 9am though :p

はいはぁ〜い！今日も同じコース！

Solnaのドッグラン！　本日はこの子とちょこっと走って遊んだよぉ〜

その後は　誰も来なかったから　マミーと走って遊んだねぇ！

週末だから　朝早めは人いないのかねぇ〜　と言っても９時すぎてますがねぇ〜（笑）

Yup! Today's Kaiya's refusal!!

I bet it feels real goooood lying on the grass in the shadow...

Alright, mommy's gonna sit and chill a bit, too! :)

はいはぁ〜い！本日の動かない攻撃！！

日陰の草の上でゴロリは　気持ちいいわなぁ〜

んじゃ　マミーもちょっと座って休憩！！！（笑）

On the way back home, I got sudden cravings for muffins.

Swung by the cafe nearby and got a latte and 2 muffins :)

It's your turn to wait for me this time Kaiya!!

どーしてもマフィンが食べたくなって　

帰りに近所のカフェ寄ってラテとマフィン２つゲッツ！！！

いつも動かない攻撃でちょっと待ってあげてるんだから　

今日はKaiyaさんがカフェの前で待つ番！！！（笑）

Kaiya's refusal

Such a beautiful morning.  Sun was out and warm.  We went out to the dog park in Solna again!

今朝も天気がよくて気持ちいい朝だったから　Solnaのドッグランへ！

Soon after when we got there, 2 little ones came in :)

暫くしたら　２匹の小さめの子達が入ってきた(^^)

Then a five-month puppy came in.

I forgot to ask what breed he was but probably a toller, I think.

Kaiya played with him a lot :)

今度は５ヶ月の仔犬ちゃんが来た

何犬だろぉ？　聞くの忘れちゃったけど　多分トーラーかな？

Kaiyaさん　この子といっぱい遊んだよ〜ん

Hahahaha!
Look at your face, Kaiya!
Little too scary for a little girl :p
あははははは！
負けそうになって　Kaiyaすごい顔（笑）

And then a german shepherd boy came in!

今度はジャーマンシェパードの男の子が来た〜！

This guy's one and a half year old.  He was such a calm boy for that age.

Other doggies seemed little scared of him because he was gigantic comparing to their size.

Kaiya was sort of the only one who played with him.

She was little cautious at first but by the time other ones left the dog park,

they got along and ran all over the dog park and played a lot!

I'm not sure if he was running as fast as he could but Kaiya was beating him!!! :p

このシェパード君は１歳半って言ってたかな

若いのに落ち着きのある子だったなぁ〜

でも他の子たちはちょっと怖かったみたいで　Kaiyaだけしかこの子と遊ばなかった(^^;)

最初はKaiyaも大きい子だから慎重だったけど　他の子達が帰っちゃって

この子とKaiyaだけになったときには　２人でドッグラン全面走り回って遊んでた！

手を抜いてくれてたのかわからないけど　走りでKaiyaが勝ってたぜい！（笑）

Kaiya's refusal ①

Little after we left the dog park, she lay down on the grass all the sudden!!!

はいは〜い　Kaiyaさんの動かない攻撃①

ドッグランから帰る途中急に草むらにドーン！って横になったぁ〜

K: "Mommy, it's too hot.  I'm tired.  I can't walk any more."
M: "I'm super hungry.  It's not that far from home now. Move your butt!"
K: "マミー　あっついよ　疲れたよ　もう動けないよ！"
M: "マミーお腹減ったんだよ　もう少しだから早く家帰るよ！"

Again Kaiya's refusal ②

またも　Kiayaさんの動かない攻撃②

 "Seriously I'm done."
"あーホント　マジもう無理"

"I can't take even a step any more!"
"もう　一歩も動けないからねぇ〜"

"I can't get up cuz my front paws are hidden and gone :p"
"もう前足なんて折り曲げちゃったから　立てないもんねぇ"

"Aaaaah, it's soooo nice on the grass in the shade!"
"あぁ〜　日陰の草の上　気持ちぃ〜"

"What're you looking at!?  I said I'm not going!"
"何見てるのぉ！？行かないったら　行かないよぉ〜！"

このあと　食べ物につられて　めっちゃ元気に歩いて帰ったKaiyaでした（笑）

やっぱりKaiyaはマミー似だね〜
