My puppy Kaipo

I have 9 month old dachshund puppy. His name is Kaipo. He is the most snuffliest dog I've ever meet, he will stare at me and bark at me until I pick him up, and when I do he snuggles down in to a ball and falls asleep. He is the sweetest thing ever! He has so much energy!!! but he poops and pisses everywhere!!! and I mean everywhere! Then he lays in it, and smells piss all the time! And when he smells I don't want to hold him. 

I have another dog named Lulu she is also a dachshund, but she is older. She is 11 years old, she doesn't have much longer to live. That makes me really sad because I've had her for so long and i don't want to loose her. At first they didn't like each other. I think the reason is, is because lulu was the only one for 11 years, and then we brought home a "devil dog" home and it took over for "fortress " When ever we give lulu attention Kaipo gets so jealous and starts barking and jumping at us.

I love both of my dogs but lulu never likes to play around. I like to rough house with my dogs, so i like Kaipo  better because he snuggles and plays around with me. whenever I'm upset i just snuggle my puppy and he instantly puts a smile on my face and licks me. I am so close to my dogs and if anything ever happens to them i will be so very upset. They love to eat! they will eat anything! especially lulu! I call her a vacuums cleaner because when ever i spill something she comes and eats it or licks it right up. Kaipo on the other hand isn't so adventurous with foods.

Japan

My dad was born and raised in Japan. I love it there, I try to visit at lasts once a year. I am very close to my grandparents in Japan. I feel more so to my grandfather then my grandmother. Usually when we go to Japan I help my grandparents work in their shop. I loved working in the shop cooking, taking orders. I wasn't paid so I counted it as community service. The person that supervised me had to sign so my grandmother signed in Japanese. It as pretty cool. We would go out to dinner some nights and other nights my rand parents won't either cook or order some food.

Japan has amazing food! From authentic Japanese food to even some American food that is kind of alterd to fit Japanese culture. My favorite is Japanese Noodles. They have so many little noodle shops that are everywhere and I love to go there for lunch time when we are out on the city. Also crapes. They are really thin cake that is cooked and put fruit ice cream chocolate anything you really want. They are so good!!

Disney is really fun in japan too. They have popcorn stands everywhere with different types. For example curry, shou, and Carmel. Disney in japan has the same rides as Disney in America. Expect he characters speak in Japanese! It's actually pretty cool.

They have some petty cool shops there, and have some weird inventions. Like they have glue that you stick to your eyes that make them more rounder, because people in Japan have slanted eyes. There are so many people In Japan. If you go on the subway when it is rush hour, the train has been so packed that people have gotten closed in the door. We went during rush hour and it was so hot. We were stuck in the middle of the train with everyone pushing and shoving.

Pilots family

My dad is a Pilot for United airlines. He has been a pilot for 24 years. He loved his job. He has flown so many different types of airplanes from 777 and 767, and even airbuses. Being in a pilots immediate family does have its perks. Free flying, to wherever we want! I have the same love for traveling that my dad does. Yes however it has its perks, but it also has its downsides. My dad has missed most of my life because he is gone all the time. I was really close to my dad, and now not so much because i don't see him as much. I feel as if i don't know him as well as i did when i was younger.

I am closer to my mom and i think the reason being is she is always, and i mean always with me. I really wanted to be a pilot like my dad, but my dad always told me that is fun to do and he loves it because one day he will be in Australia and the next Brazil, but he always told me it is not the right business to get in to. Especially if you have a family.

My first flight was when i was 3 moths old. I went to go and visit my grandparents in Japan for the first time. My parents told me they were so excited to see me for the first time because i was the only grandchild that they have had. I love flying!! It is full of excitement! When we fly for free we do what is called flying standby.. It is pretty much just hitchhiking.. if there is room on the plane then we get on, if there isn't then we try for another fight. It is so stressful.
 If you go during a busy time of year like around Christmas then you cold be stuck somewhere for days! and i mean for days!
