Toronto, noon-ish, 17C (62F), Cloudy.

Today is mom's day off. I thought we can go on a picnic but it's kinda cold... Besides I have to put this nappy on. Boys don't ask me why. :) Hey, yesterday we saw these birdies.

Mommy bird waited to get my mom's bread crumble. Then she fed to her baby bird. It's lovely, huh? :)

I thought this baby was big enough. Oh well... My hoooomans still enjoy their toy!

"Mom, dad is making something!"

Garlic mushed potato! "Is that a giant white chocolate covered Pretzel?" "Let me clean it up!" Next day... Our chef made first time home made pizza!Keep your good works, dad! Done!

(top) Smoked salmon, anchovy, Gorgonzola,

baby spinach with home-made tomato sauce.

(bottom) Salmon, feta and spinach sausage, mushroom, plum tomato, onion

mozzarella cheese with home-made pesto sauce pizza.

And most importantly freshly grinded Parmesan cheese!

Next morning, when my mom and I got up...

dad was making bread dough.

"Is that little one mine???" :) Everything looks good! "I am going to taste my bread." The end of the day, my mom prepared the special combos.

Her favorite Cosmopolitan that she's ever made by herself and Cream brulee.

Oh yes, I tried a tiny bit of Cream Brulee. It was fabulous!! ;)

I have to remind you again. summer is very nice!

We do a long walky every single evening and find something interesting

or meet nice people & cute doggies.

Does anyone know what these huge leaves called?!?

Ohhhhhh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I found some Autumn leaves!! It's STILL August! Can we enjoy summer?!?

Com'n! Our summer is short. Let us enjoy bootiful summer evening!

I took a uaual long nap after my walky. Then my mom and dad left for a while.

When they came home I found some boxes on the counter.

"What are those boxes?" "What is that noise?!?"

What? Are you making pasta dough from scratch?? Did your hooomans know that dough is made with flour, eggs and pinch of salt ONLY? (Obviously my hoooomans didn't!!!!) So if you wonder why we haven't left any comments on your blog (sorry!) this is the reason. We were kinda busy making the dough for last few nights. Something doesn't seem right in this picture but this is my hooomans first attempt to make fresh pasta from scratch! Let's check out side dish and pasta sauce. (R) My mom's favorite pasta sauce. (L) Salmon sausages. "Can I have a piece, dad?" It was almost midnight and our pasta dinner pawty begun. Mom, where is my plate?

My dinner looks very small but it's ok.

I already finished my usual dinner. This smells delicious!

" Thanks! :)

I am back to your table!"

Next evening.....

"Is my mom's turn to make pasta dough?"

ah, she's making scallops, ricotta and baby spinach ravioli.

It sounds great!

Keep some ravioli for me, please!

"Where is my plate?!?" Momo/J & R

My friend River has tagged me for another fun game.

Sorry River..., it took some time to post this game.

This time, I need to answer the following 5 questions about myself.

**************

1. Where is your favorite place to sleep?

On my mom's pillow!

She doesn't use a pillow when she sleeps so she tosses it out

when our bed time comes. One evening I got out from my own bed and

laid down on it. The pillow is a pawfect size for me

and hey! It was a good change for summer!

This pic was taken in last winter so I had a puppy-look. :)

You can see my bed here.

2. Is there a specific trick your humans make you do to get treats or dinner?

The trick I learnt very quickly in order to be fed ;P is 'down'.

My dad has been trying to train me 'round the table' trick but

I must say this is not easy. I'll post the video when I learn this trick! ;) 3.If you could spend an entire day doing anything at all with anyone

what would you do and with whom??

I always love to explore the world with my mom and dad.

What 'world' means anywhere in downtown, parks,

walking trails, lakes, beaches etc. Wherever I take a walk with my mom and dad is fun.

This video was shot on the ferry to Centre Island. This pic was taken when we reached to Brick Works unexpectedly

during our usual long walk on the weekend.

We saw many gold fish here. Yes, gold fish! I wonder why...The moment I enjoyed bootiful sunset with dad. 4. What is your favorite toy?

I love my teddies. I got a blue teddy first then he was getting into a bad shape so my dad got me a pink one as one of Christmas pressies. They don't look like teddies anymore but still I love to play with them. :) After reading my friends' blogs I have realized that i don't own many toys but you know what? My birthday is a month away. Maybe my teddies get a sister or brother! :) 5. If you could change one thing in your life, what would you change?? Nothing really... Life treats me sooo well. There are so many things I smile about in my life.

The one thing I wish for is that all animals are treated well and be happy. :) Momo/J & R

This is definitely NOT my thing!

The other evening we took a short break at Cherry Beach

while driving around.

Can you see many doggies in the water?

Surely my dad wanted me to do the same.

He went into the water and kept calling my name.

Dog Channel.com suggests that

dog owners should get into the water first and

let their dogs enter on their own and swim toward to the owners.. .

(so he did first half right!)

Meantime my mom was just giggling.

("Mom, are you gonna give me a hand?!?)

Dad, I really don't think this is an enjoyable. I am leaving, dad! So what is MY thing?

The answer is easy! Ice Cream! :)

Yum yum yum... ohhh heaven!

You may eat the cone mother, I'll finish the rest.

A very relaxing weekend!

We were supposed to join the chat pawty with

Buster and other doggies this morning.

We were looking forward to BUT we missed it.

We are soooo not morning doggie/hooomans.... :(

Anyways we planed to do a few things today but it was getting late so

we did a long walkie in downtown spontaneously.

**************

"Excuse us, excuse us!!"

Eventually we reached to China Town

where I've never visited.

I love experiments... There are many super markets and the prices seem very reasonable. If you're into exotic fruits and veggies, this is your destination! We found a sugar cane juice stand. Hey look! It's interesting!!

This VERY fresh juice costs only $2!!!

$2!!!!

Up Close and Pawsonal....

with Momo! TGIF! Whoooora!!!! I know Monday is the civic holiday and my mom will take Tuesday off. So we'll have a long weekend! Hope you have a good weekend, every doggie and hammi! Momo/J & R

Time capsule!

My friend handsome River has tagged me! :)

This time I need to share 5 things I would put into a time capsule.

This is a fun game but it's actually hard to pick 5!!

*****************

So here is my list!

1. My safety blanky.

This pic was taken right after I was welcome by

my mom & dad. (please excuse my first "house" made by my dad!

A "house". hehehehehe...)

Since my Day 1, I always take a big nap

on this blanket. So this is an easy pick.

2. A stick- Hours of joy!!

I still can't figure out why I enjoy a stick so much and do YOU?

It's something about a stick! What is it?!?

3. My chair.

We have a comfortable couch but I like this chair better.

First of all The height of this chair is pawfect for me.

I can observe my hoooomans' ALL activities from here.

Plus my mom keeps her PC on the table so if she leaves the table

I can sneak in and check all favorite links.

I am sure this is a usuful thingy in the future.:)

4. My mom's PC.

I have met so many friends on DWB. :)

I've kept all my friends blogs, their pictures,

their favorite music, letters etc,..

ALL my memories have kept on PC.

So PC is a "MUST"!

5. Our kitchen! :p Don't laugh my friends! I couldn't decide if I should pick cheese or french baguette or smoked bone or a bottle of red wine for my hoooomans. Hey all gwooodies come from here, right? So why don't I put our kitchen in the time capsule?!? Our kitchen is small. We still have some room for you in the capsule! This time I would love to tag this game to Ruby. Momo/J & R

Good-by, my dearest friend Oscar.

As most of you have known, our darling friend Oscar has gone

to the rainbowbridge.

It happened so suddenly.

We came by his blog often but regrettably we didn't get a

chance to visit his blog while he was very ill.

We weren't aware that he was so sick and we couldn't pray for him.

We feel so sad and it makes us regret........ badly.

We're still heartbroken to accept our loss.

Oscar, please run free.

It's been so grateful to have met you.

We'll miss you terribly but look forward to meet you

over the rainbowbridge again.

Katy and Martin, please be strong and take a good care of yoursef.

Momo/J & R
