Balu visiting Ushiku

My parents live in Ushiku in Ibaraki

and I was brought up there in my young age

I went back with Balu to seek sakura in this spring 

Sakura didn't bloom fully, but we enjoyed staying there 

Balu got some new companies  

Balu is a good dog for my sister's daughter Haruchan

Water playing time in the noon

Evening walk 

Gradually they became a close friend 

I am tied......

To get an evening meal, dog and cat are no more enemy
They fight against people

Old cat mama chan is not happy with Balu
So Baron is reconciling

Balu wants to sleep with Baron but Baron seems to be hesitated

















Morning walk 

Black dog and black dog
Black cat and black cat

Pressure from behind 

It seems that cat cannot walk for long distance
Baron is cheering him up

Balu is tasting sakura
and baron is waiting for him

Balu is asking for a permission
But was not accepted

Balu early spring

I started to live with a black cat called Balu

He was born in a farm and was almost dead soon after he was born

He came to my house for a treatment and ended up staying in my house 

He is a cheerful, unique cat, with full of curiosity and love

He comes almost everywhere I go 

and tries almost everything I do 

Following pictures are our life in the early spring

Sniffing a flower with his blocked nose 

Sometimes it snows
And he chases snow flakes

I went to cut a tree and he was waiting for me under the tree and snow

He looked unhappy
I don't know why he waits for me like this

He got his new company 

Sniffing sniffing

We often go for a walk 

He doesn't like walking on snow and he hates the sound of car

He likes walking in a wild 

Watching sunrise from our favorite place Aikappu cape

We also walk into forest 

Balu has eyes which are same color as fukujyusou (福寿草）

Since he was a stray cat, he sometimes show a wild cat face (at Aikappu cape)

Trying to ring a bell at Aikappu cape

We often go to a huge field and run together
Balu is like a dog (at  cape shirepa)
