I am in Heaven! :D

I LOVE lizards, especially geckos!! :D One of my dreams was to have a gecko climbing around my cheeks!

And guess what, my dream came true at Skipton Pet Center, big thanks to Douglas! Thank YOU sooo much for guiding me to play with your babies! That was a wonderful surprise! They have such gorgeous curious eyes and amazingly lovable feet! Look at this cutie foot on my forehead ;D We call a gecko "yamori", "家守" in Japanese Kanji character; 家 means house and 守 means protection. Yamori protects our house! :D

Keep A Child Alive!

I have donated two artworks for Keep A Child Alive! 

Keep A Child Alive is a non-profit organization based in Brooklyn, NY, dedicated to providing care and support to children and families who have been suffering from HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Thank YOU very much, Alyssa, for organizing such a meaningful event. She says, "From the event, we were able to raise over $800 which goes directly to Keep A Child Alive. This amount of money will pay for all of a child's medication and surrounding care for over 2 whole years!"

I have donated these cats illustrations, which were originally created for "New Beginnings Feline Sanctuary" Charity Cards, requested by Welti & Rose Advertising Inc. I thought to carry the charity spirits all the way! All the cards are already happily sold out :D In the cat sanctuary, Ms. Brown has more than 300 cats!
"Cats Bamboo": to make Ms. Brown's dream come true in the picture, which was to have bamboo gates in the sanctuary.

"Cats Rainbow": to show happy running and playing cats in the sanctuary.

Thank YOU very much for purchasing the artworks, Diana! Hope these cats will make you smile and brighten up your day! ;D

"Cat" and Me

Playing with Jacquie Welti's cat in Florida ;D Jacquie is a super talented graphic designer and a founder of the advertisement company Welti & Rose Advertising Inc.! Jacquie named the beautiful black cat "cat" as Audrey Hepburn did in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

"Cat" is sooooo lovable and huggable~!! She follows you wherever you go and sleep happily soundly on top of you :D Purrrrr....

Speechless Natural Beauty...

My super talented photographer friend Takami (check out her gorgeous poetic pictures!) came to Concord with a cool hat during the summer and we went canoeing in Sudbury River! Thanks to our sweet neighbour John, we rented his canoe and put on the top of our car! You see the gorgeous reflection here?

Just start paddling the canoe, Che jumped into the water!! She has already experienced taking a bath, riding a loud and busy New York Subway, swimming in the Walden Pond, cuddling with me in bed, so maybe this was her new challenge?! Probably her curiosity made her jump! We are not sure why she jumped, did she like water or she didn't like canoeing? Hmmm... either way, now she is happily sleeping in my arm :D

Beautiful graphic patterns on water... speechless...

Happy moment surrounded by nature... :D Yes, this is taken by Takami Shimura ;D Arigatooo as Always!!!

And the gorgeous sunset!!

Puppy sitting ;D

My friend Claudine needed a puppy sitting for 2 weeks. Of course, we say, "YES WE CAN!" with big smiles :D

You are right, I don't own a dog, I have never had a dog, this is the first time to do a puppy sitting! It is fun to have such a beautiful sweetest creature with you everyday, it is tough to wake up 6 AM every morning to go for a walk and wait for your dog to do pee and/or poop and the same goes to the night time! Like me, who sleeps and wakes up whenever I feel like, this puppy sitting experience made our life like the one of Buddhist monks! :P

This sweetest Bernese Mountain dog is just a 8 weeks old. Her name is Che, yes, she is a girl but Claudine named her Che, because of her passion for Cuba and Che Guevara. Che smells like a milky baby, super sweet, her stomach is soooo kissable and always smooth and warm. She will be a big dog so she has huge soft paws which I can't stop touching :P Her nose is so cute too, very soft and pink. You cannot get tired of just looking at her!

My super smart friend Roshan is right. A dog dreams! Che often dreams. She moves her legs and make noises, while she is sleeping. Amazing.

If you are single and looking for a partner or just want more new friends!!, I definitely recommend to own a dog ;P But the dog has to be cute and friendly and if possible a rare dog (better to avoid loud barking dogs like chiwawa etc) so people will talk to you! :D So many people stopped us when we went for a walk. It will take a way longer to just walk several blocks because everyone wants to talk to you and touch your dog ;P So be ready for that~!!

"Happy in my shadow" - Che loves a shade, she doesn't like hot weather at all. She is a master of finding a shade! When she gets tired of walking, she often sits in my shadow and gives me a happy smile like this :D

Cute Frog on the Salad?!

My dear friend Zoe's cute frog on our super fresh herb salad?! ;D It was SO MUCH FUN as always!! Big ARIGATO to you, Zoeeee ;D See YOU very soon! :)))
