Akita-do by Shirai

Hi there you folks....you doing fine??? I am alright, thank you for wondering.
The weather has changed here in Uppsala, Sweden.....it`s getting pitch dark when you go out in the morning and in the afternoon as well....it is the KAMOS coming over us...the everlasting cold and dark winter night for months and months. Well actually it`s not that bad ....yet!...but it`s not the Thailand I can tell you!!!! Do you know how we can tell that its moving on towards a long , hard and cold winter??? Well its not the weatherman on the tv, not some spooky old same ( Enok Sarri ) up in the northern territory looking in fishes stomach or dad suddenly getting a blue bigtoe! No, on those signs you can`t trust...no more you can trust Kim Jong Un!! No, it`s when Sigge the cat find his way up on the glas cabinet and goes to rest for some 10 hours or more. He`s still agile that little furball....he is after all 13 years old , with arthritis and bad knees...but still going strong......and with the lights on in the cabinet it gets warm and coozy up there......

Chihiro was here to visit....fun for Kazumi but a little tiresome for me. She is sooooooo fast that little one. She has a ferret, Elliot, at her home and I guess she learns her moves from him. Dad is trying to catch them on a photo but as you can see it`s impossible.......

When they are separated they eventually comes to some rest.......

Here you can see Kazumi waiting for Chihiro to come again...she just loves that shiba...

How do I know???? Last time Chihiro was here, Kazumi and I got a chicken filè each....and Kazumi gave it to Chihiro!!!!!!! I have NEVER seen anything like that before....she always tries to steal my and Sigges food, even if I have it my mouth....so that why I know she loves Chihiro.....

This thing about people going on the wrong side of the street/road....it drives me nuts!!!!!! In Sweden we have right-hand traffic...that means you are supposed to go up against the oncoming traffic....that would be on the left side!!! Left side folks!!!! But some people without dogs or with dogs tend to insist on going on the right side!!! My God!!! We, Kazumi and I, have been learned to go on the left side of dad or mum....so as we meet dogowners with ugly dogs ( Kazumi thinks ALL dogs are ugly and barks at them sitting in the car....very disturbing for all of us sitting with her in the small car ), dad or mum are between us and the dogowner. But some people just MUST go on their right side...and I can not comprehend what they think when two vicious, maleficint and dangerous fighting dogs comes against them??!!!! Don`t they know that in some countries we have to have mussles???!!
Actually we are not dangerous....Kazumi would perhaps lick a person to death and I want any contact what so ever with strangers, but I have my comfort zone and if anyone comes to near I will let them know!!! Dogs understand...they move to the other side...but people just must pass us on the wrong side...even if it`s a ditch or a hedge they step into....crazy!!!!

It is lucky we can go to our house in Brevik Roslagen....there are not so many people around especially this time of year....the people with summer houses have gone into the city.

But still it can be dangerous out there...we took a walk into the woods behind our house...when suddenly...they started to shoot at us!!!!...well not actually right at us but nearby! I got scared...I don`t like shots....they are loud! And the hunters maybe think I am a big red fox, Kazumi a wolf or more likely a badger and perhaps they think dad is an elk or maybe a giraffe?!!...
